". . . and sixteen other songs. On the 4th of July in 2000, Elliott Smith performed this superb quality set at the Embryo Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. Not your standard BBQ / beer / fireworks soundtrack for today -- but better." - edythe via Bookmarklet
Thanks for this. Very clear recording, great live show. I have a friend in the Netherlands who has a band greatly influenced by Elliott Smith; he is gonna love this (that band is Cloudmachine, btw, check them out: http://www.last.fm/music/Cloud... ) So, Ruud thanks you also. - Michael W. May

Mark, can you tell me more about the group aspects? - John Cass via Alert Thingy
Hey John, TweetDeck looks to work on a series of panels: one for your friends, another for your replies. You can create more panels that have a group of your friends, making it harder for those friends to get lost in a stream of tweets. Unfortunately, it doesn't pick up all your friends when you go to create a group, and you can't modify who's in the group after you create one (so you have to delete the old group and recreate it if you want to add someone). Otherwise, it's Yet Another Twitter AIR Client. - Mark Trapp

"Prototype contact lenses that include LEDs and circuits could become a tiny personal display. Babak Parviz wears contact lenses. But he's not yet using the new contact lenses he's made in his Seattle laboratory. Containing electronic circuits, they look like something from a science fiction movie. He's now going to add some extremely small light emitting diodes (LEDs), helping turn his prototype contact lenses into a sophisticated personal display - the tiniest one possible." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
that can't be good for one's health. fascinating though - Cee Bee
How would it be bad for your health Cee Bee? Maybe it might screw with your vision some, but what else would it affect? - Tad Donaghe via fftogo
It would be the a great heads up display, but I don't know if you would be able to track eye movement to select things on the display. The gyroscopes on the lens would have to be almost nano. - RAPatton
i'm not sure but placing some electronic object of that sort directly over one's retina may have its side effects. then again, i've been on this laptop for the past 6 hours and my balls are frying - Cee Bee

Very interesting. Gartner predicts that human augmentation will evolve over the next 10 years to the point where it will be feasible to enhance the performance or sensory abilities of healthy individuals. In other words, medical techniques such as sensory transference, direct brain interfaces, and nerve mapping will be used not just to restore physical deficiencies, but to enhance healthy people beyond “normal”. - Alan Cheslow
Whoa... cool. But really, heads up display, blah blah blah... i want my eyes to glow in the dark. Then I'll really be able to fight crime with my intimidating stare! - felix
I tried an earlier version of this kind of thing during a visit to a lab at the UW in Seattle. My eyes ached in a really strange way afterwards; I mean acute pain. I don't like the display as prosthetic, because of this experience. - terra210

You know those "spinner" hubs/tires that some folks have on their car wheels? How about "spinner" contacts? Hopefully invisible from the user's point of view, but folks looking at you see spinning in your eyes. based on this article, you could even attach little outward-facing LED lights to the spinners... - Bruce Williams
Just add a tiny wireless receiver, and you'll get special promotions of chips and nylon socks flashed on you contact lenses when you walk past Walmart. - Dewald Pretorius

Missing scenes from Fritz Lang's Metropolis turn up after 80 years | News | guardian.co.uk Film
Thursday at 9:09 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"The cinematic world was today celebrating the rediscovery of missing scenes from German director Fritz Lang's legendary silent film Metropolis - thought lost for 80 years, until they were found in the archive of a museum in Argentina. Key scenes cut from the science fiction picture - either because they were considered to be too brutal or too long - will now be available for the first time since May 1927, when the original version was last shown in Berlin, where it flopped badly." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
It looks like she is wearing something very similar to what they use in korean salons in Los Angeles - RAPatton
This film was brilliant and visually seems to have inspired many other Sci Fi classics - Angel Aviles-McClinton

Hum... NoiseRiver was supporting this two days before :p - directeur via NoiseRiver
Very cool. If you go back a couple days, it has the proper timestamp format e.g. Tuesday at 12:15pm etc. I guess the question is what time zone are these based on. I'd guess Pacific time due to FF being in the Valley/Bay Area. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
It looks to me like local time - Brian Sullivan
About time too! :-) I think they should either allow me to pick my timezone or detect my regional settings so that the historical date/time always displays correctly for my timezone. - Tony Ruscoe
The great thing about the timezone issue is that it doesn't matter much. Small time deltas are done relatively "6 hours ago" so time zone doesn't come into play. Long time deltas are done absolutely and since FF doesn't ask what time zone you live in are likely off but it doesn't matter too much because it is a long time delta and thus it's ok to be off by a few hours because is 2 weeks ago really different from 2 weeks and 1 hour ago? Brilliant. - Benjamin Golub
I like it. The only problem I see though is it also displays over people's names when you hover over their name. It gets in the way. - Nick Munson
Translation to local time is pretty easy isn't it? FF (server side) doesn't know the time zone you are in -- but the browser can - Brian Sullivan
@Benjamin, that's completely true. So I'd argue why bother displaying the time at all for comments older than 24-48 hours. (Philipp's been doing that in the Google Blogoscoped forum for years: http://blogoscoped.com/forum/) @Brian, absolutely. - Tony Ruscoe

Movie trailers find big audiences online - Internet- msnbc.com
Thursday at 6:12 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"It's been a so-so year for movies, but it's shaping up to be an excellent year for trailers." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
"The importance of a good trailer isn't lost on filmmakers. Last year, while discussing his "There Will Be Blood," director Paul Thomas Anderson told The Associated Press that the only disagreement he had with the studio was over what he called "the YouTube incident of 2007." While editing the movie last summer, Anderson decided to enliven things by cutting a trailer, which he posted on YouTube. The simplicity of the process — not dealing with the studio or the Motion Picture Association of America — was "like a filmmaker's fantasy." " - RAPatton
My brother watches the trailer every night! - David Ambrose
I love trailers, always have. Often they are better than the movie I am seeing or the actually movie when it comes out. They are usually succinct and full of promise. - RAPatton

"Steinman says that the musical, Bat Out of Hell, will be based on the songs from the three-album cycle. Described as a Cirque du Soleil-type spectacle, Steinman wrote both music and lyrics. Steinman is really excited that Stephen Clarke (Stripped) has signed on to collaborate with him on the musical’s book." - Patricia Hanrahan via Bookmarklet
Not too sure how I feel about this. Come on - Bat Out of Hell musical?? Then again I did really enjoy Tanz der Vampire (http://inthestigs.blogspot.com...) and do have a soft spot for complex, bombastic, wall-of-sound and big squeally guitars. Think I may just go and see it ... maybe. *edited: Steinman wrote the music for TdV - Patricia Hanrahan
hmm... I've seen snips of Meatloaf's concerts and am left wondering why he isn't adapting this for the stage himself. The albums already tell the story and the concert theatrics are already halfway there. - Michael W. May
Steinman orginally choose to collaborate with Meatloaf due to his theatrical background - it is the original Wagnerian Rock. As long as Steinman is the key figure in this it should be a lot of fun. He had little to no input when they moved TdV from Germany to Broadway for the English remake Dance of the Vampires. It sucked! It still holds the record for being the biggest financial flop on Broadway. - Patricia Hanrahan

Limitations of MySQL for this application may be why Twitter is spending a bunch of money looking at file system-based and other options for their nextgen architecture. - Ken Sheppardson
The identi.ca db architecture is such that, compiling a user's stream will result in a very heavy db load when the person follows many folks. Exactly the same issue that Twitter is trying to solve. - Dewald Pretorius
Perhaps, but I have high hopes that the brightest minds in the world can fix this. It is open source, after all. - Hao Chen
Agree, Hao Chen. Twitter's been at it two years full time with significant venture funding and still have problems, so it's apparently not something that we're likely to see solved overnight with off-the-shelf PHP library ORM libraries and basic MySQL tables. This could take a while. - Ken Sheppardson
