Things to Make iTunes Better

c4jones2: Every once in while I think of something that would make iTunes oh so much better. I’ve decided I’d share them with the world and maybe someone know someone who knows someone who knows someone and that person could pass it along to Steve. •Labels - Just like colored labels in the finder, sometimes I just think it’d be handy to label a set of songs for one reason or another and it...

I just need to leave. To stop. And begin again.

I am really only alive in the physical sense, it may seem to me. Only to me, I know the words I speak, I say, and I know what I mean. But it never flows with the currant. With the rest. I need to rest. For how long I will always wonder. But fuck, what the shit. Who knows anything anymore, and this is over. Later. I need to rest. For you, for me. I never know what should be said or done. I...

seriously film-goers? get some intellect

I still think Americans are one of the dumbest film goers out there. These mainstream films are just fucking stupid. Not per-say, actually being stupid, but just the plot, story-line and overall theme of the majority of movies are so easy, and recyclable ideas, that I am glad I am not in the movie industry. Really. Let me say, I am probably bias, I have never, ever remember actor names or...

again/

I have a really bad feeling about my G4. The hard-drive is making noises while it rotates. It’s pretty loud. I know enough about computers to know that it is the hard-drive. I think I’m fucked. Fuck. Someone get me a design job. Or a beer. I am in Portland now. I need a daycare, a design job, - that’s paid this time, and some friends to share a beer with, email me. I know the...

LA transit starts marketing itself, watch & read →

Their rebranding of the fleet is under one identity rather a separate one for each service. And it’s logo is nice to begin with, NYC’s Metro logo is a disgrace to be used with the signage system Vignelli did with the typeface Helvetica. Anyone in NYC understands that situation, the actual logo for the Metro is some poorly executed Metro word in perspective. Almost the exact opposite...

Watch

Stefan Sagmeister on TED Talks about his recent sabbatical in Asia. This is from 2009, there are more TED Talks with him. Check’em out. I enjoy how he states that “sameness is overrated” in reference to branding. I just posted my opinions to that very saying very recently on here, here is the post: http://roblr.tumblr.com/post/293117582/over-abundance-of-materialistic-branding

connection.

I keep hearing what kids write about music out there, and maybe, perhaps that is what these young kids want to hear. But it is very immature. You can not expect bands to re-release the same sort of record over and over. I can understand where they are coming from, since I used to think the same pattern, but it is just weird now to think that way. Getting old I suppose. I mean, the reason why I...

you're actually writing what you want to write

“Maybe, what I said earlier, being older now and recognizing that we don’t need to worry about people who are tired of us. We’re all the same. It’s the music industry as far as listeners. There are certain bands, I won’t say any names, where it’s like, “Why won’t they quit?” [Laughs] As a band, you don’t have to worry about that...

Some of these are great. This website is after a series of books, I am just hearing about. I am going to purchase the newest one once I have some free cash, which may be some time. But, here are some quotes that hooked me. “Consumerism, the drug of the nation.” “Make it pretty.” “Follow the money.” And more so, just the name of the book, “The...
