“A brandnew mix by Kompakt staple Shumi, originally recorded for Kasper Bjorke’s show “4/4” on Danish national radio. Heavily featured among the selection’s luminaries are our very own Pachanga Boys aka Superpitcher and Rebolledo, delivering a timeless classic with “Time” (no pun intended) and remixing Slove’s eerily beautiful “Flash” not once but twice.”

For the complete tracklist, go to: http://www.mixcloud.com/kompaktrecords/shumis-and-let-those-birds-sing/“Greek digital artist Petros Vrellis used openFrameworks to convert the post-impressionist painting into an interactive artwork, where touch-sensitive gestures change the direction of the wind, sprout new buildings, and create ambient background tones. I bet if Van Gogh rolled over in his grave to look at this, it might make him smile a bit.” (via colossal)
Listen to a Jurassic Love Song
The love song of an extinct katydid that lived 165 million years ago has been brought back to life, according to a study in the latest issue of PNAS. The song is thought to be the most ancient known music documented to date.
The song was reconstructed from microscopic wing features on a fossil discovered in North East China. It allows us to listen to one of the sounds that would have been heard by dinosaurs and other creatures roaming Jurassic forests at night.
A veritable symphony of natural sounds must have filled the world 165 million years ago, with primitive crickets and croaking amphibians leading the way. These were among the first animals to produce loud sounds by stridulation, or rubbing certain body parts together. (We humans can do a version of this too, as this fellow demonstrates.)

Below is a repost of an older piece I authored over at Edelman’s clean technology blog that I think is still relevant reading. Many business people are shocked to learn that how you talk about your business is at times more important than what you say. The power of search, whether it is through Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, [...]

People play games for three billion hours a week. Do you know what they are doing for the other few billion hours? Working. These two activities, it turns out, might not be as far apart as business leaders may think. For companies trying to influence behavior, gaming mechanics are today’s hot trend. Is putting some points on a leaderboard the trick helping marketers motivate consumers to behave as they wish? Even though there is science behind the behavior and success to be found, game dynamics are a far cry from the silver bullet. Clear results from this trend are as hard to secure as the mayorship of the local diner. Foursquare, the trend’s poster child, is trying to distance the company from the concept. Not all companies can attach a game layer to their business plan, so what can game dynamics do for these companies on the path to sustainability? [...]

After learning of the 7.1 mag earthquake in New Zealand yesterday, I was reminded of a great post I read earlier this year, after the Haitian quake, that touches on the need for renewables such as solar and permaculture as a way to aid a faster recovery from natural disasters. ‘Solar setups are quick to [...]

After an adventurous week of helping two separate friends pack their apartments for cross-country moves, I found myself asking the same question over and over… chuck it or keep it? And after about the 100th time, I soon took initiative and just started throwing everything away. (Don’t worry, they’ll never miss the stuff!) While sifting [...]
