The extended run of Screen: Macbeth is from March 11-13. It’s a shame that there aren’t more tickets because this is a must-see, must-experience. The production merges live performance with film and draws on traditional shadow theater to create a world where Shakespeare’s poetic language meets with a heightened visual environment. It responds to the quest for a contemporary analogue to the supernatural and finds it onscreen. Screen: Macbeth turns […]
Two gems I ran into in an article about a tumblelog about an app store (how many are there already, really): Where the heck were you when the page was blank? – Paul Butterworth Most haters are full of ideas yet have low creative output. – Nick Campbell See what I mean about irrational rage?
A vague and gnawing pang of anxiety centered around an IM window that has lulled. A sudden and irrational rage in response to reading an ‘@-reply’ on Twitter. The state of being ‘installed’ at a computer or laptop for an extended period of time without purpose, characterized by a blurry, formless anxiety undercut with something hard like desperation. The car collision of appetite and discomfort one feels simultaneously when using […]
As if the mainstream isn’t confused enough as it is, the W3C has gone ahead and unveiled a new logo for HTML5 and used it as the umbrella term for the latest technologies in front-end web development, much to all the standardistas’ protests. HTML5 is HTML but now, apparently, it now also encompasses CSS3, the new audio and video formats, and even more jargon like geolocation, web sockets, SVG, and […]
“…people in the newspaper industry saw the web as a newspaper. People in TV saw the web as TV, and people in book publishing saw it as a weird kind of potential book. But the web is not just some kind of magic all-absorbing meta-medium. It’s its own thing. And like other media it has a question that it answers better than any other. That question is: Why wasn’t I […]
Parallax is a pretty common effect nowadays if you want to do away with Flash, but the fact that Nike did it is more interesting.
It may take a while before the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas themselves release proper photos of the new Philippine notes because we all know how internet savvy government agencies are. All I’ve seen are photos of the designs on exhibit from yesterday’s launch. Bills will start circulation within the month, while current bills will expire in three years (the same time it took for these designs to be conceptualized). I […]

WordPress.com has already adopted two Tumblr features (likes and reblogs) but the third one coming in version 3.1 may complete the transformation: post formats. That’s not to say it hasn’t been done. And can you really replicate the Tumblr experience on self-hosted systems? Beyond the debates of regurgitating posts killing originality/identity/attribution though, I’m more interested in the ability to interconnect blogs, tweets, tumblelogs, notes in the most seamless way possible.
