Beautiful piano score visualization (found via @ericw)

This is one of my favorite Debussy pieces. And this animation is rather beautiful and compelling.

Technology Post-30

"1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal;

2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it;

3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really."

Russell Davies quotes Douglas Adams in a nice post over on his blog about Clay Shirky's 'Cognitive Surplus'. I turned 30 in May and still feeling a bit depressed about it. But I'm hoping that I've still got at least another 10 years of point no. 2 above :)

Music Hack Day T-Shirt Spotted!

love that the guy featured in this video is wearing a Music Hack Day Boston t-shirt.

(Mental note: make sure we have MHD London t-shirts!).

Thom summing up Berlin (and SoundCloud)

One other side note from the day which I think sums up Berlin (and SoundCloud for that matter) quite nicely.  On my way to the venue at 8am on Saturday morning, I was walking along Holzmarktstr. by the river and was invited into a fairly nuts looking party.  It didn’t look like it had just started or that it was going to stop any time soon.  I presume that I had been invited in due to my SoundCloud t-shirt (which I’m learning is quite a powerful commodity in this town).  Sadly, I had to decline and explain to them that, contrary to rumours, we’re not a party company.

Love this quote from my colleague Thom in our Berlin office. Reminding me that I need to get out there pretty soon!

Hilarious -> The Orb - Grey Fluffy Clouds

One of my favourite tracks as a teenager... reminds me of endless summers and camping trips with my mates. This remake is hilarious, admittedly takes the shine off it a little bit :)
