Jazz, Tea and Curry Pt. 2
I’ve officially given up on separating these three, fundamental life elements, so I’m back today with a full mash-up of Jazz, Tea, Curry and everything else. To put things in a little bit of perspective; I’m currently sitting in a sleazy diner-style 24-hours breakfasty place called The Flying Pan (their logo consists of several pieces of Microsoft Clip-Art stuck together at...

Blue Train
Black silhouettes beyond a closed window A void closed shut, spilling the rhythm and the blues like a gasp of air beneath an ocean of water Sheets of sound the full spectrum of the universe in a single glimpse of time The hum of life infinity rising action and a climax of sound the universe in a grain of sand Free to be you and me Simultaneously old soul old city The rising blue an aching sun...

Jazz, Tea, and Curry Pt. 1
The summary of the past few days. I’ll start with the Jazz. Hong Kong is spread into a number of smaller districts, each with a distinct flavor and style (the entire city is spread across multiple islands, so reginal diversdity comes naturally.) Soho, one such region, is the city’s night life and entertainment district, built on a hill and flanked by a giant escalator. Quite similar...

Reality
Definition: Reality in everyday usage means “the state of things as they actually exist.” The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether it is observable, comprehensible, or apparently self-contradictory by science, philosophy, or any other system of analysis. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality

COD4 + Spore confirmed for... Mac?
Happy early birthday, Dom. ”I don’t play PC Games anymore. I’m a mac person now.” Seems we’ve been hearing this refrain more and more lately, as Apple pursues its zerg-like campaign to snatch up fertile young minds with its characteristically relentless hipster zeal. As the popularity of Mac use rises, so does its viability as a genuine gaming platform. First...

This guy’s crazy: an indipendent videogame developer (and genius) who releases a new game every month. But I still haven’t gotten to the amazing part; he makes each of his games in 7 days or less. Epic win. Oh, and two words - Druid Soccer.

Hello! For those of you who don’t know, I am and will be in Hong Kong for the next month, exploring and working as I go on. I always knew that this blog - which has always been about an un-edited stream of consciousness and occasional rambled thought - would inevitably be turned (albeit temporarily) into a travel journal. At least until I get back. For those of you who do know - namely my...

I officially love this site, it reminds me of what I’m trying to do with this blog - only with an unnaturally enormous scope that allows it to continuously find some of the most uncanny and wonderful pieces of media and information I’ve yet to find on the internet. Check it out, and be forever humbled.
