We Own This Town: Volume 106

posted April 23, 2018 #

New episode of We Own This Town Music up for your enjoyment. It's 35 minutes of music you've never heard that spans a bunch of genres. This particular installment has some melancholy pop, some noodley guitar rock, some math rock / emo, some tropicalia inspired beach songs and some chiptune. It's a good listen!
It's on iTunes, Overcast, Stitcher, etc and, of course, I implore you to subscribe.

Solis

Every few years, a new app is released that seems to promise a massive reprieve from the workflow hardships you've been experiencing. Maybe it's Neonto's React Studio or Arcivr photo collaboration or PhoneGap or The Hype. The list is long.

The latest to come my way is this Solis app, which allows you to create a variety of canvas sizes and preview your markup in realtime across different sizes. The demo is impressive and best of all, it integrates with whatever code editor you're already using. That's the clincher I think to this being something that takes off as it requires no real change to your existing setup.

Maybe it's a flash in the pan! Maybe it's all hype! Regardless, it's a good idea and I hope they're able to find their way into the engineering zeitgeist.

Ready Player One Is The Roadmap To Digital Dystopia

posted April 23, 2018 #

I have strong opinions on Ready Player One, the Ernest Cline novel turned Speilberg blockbuster. I excitedly read the book and begrudgingly finished it. On the surface, it felt like a YA version of Snow Crash but without any of the actual depth or compelling writing. But I wasn't really able to articulate what it is about it that bothered me so much.

Fortunately, there are many great writers out in the world that do a much better job of thinking and expressing those thoughts than I do. This Verge piece from Laura Hudson - If you want to know how we ended up in a Cyber Dystopia, Read Ready Player One - nails it. There are lots of online sentiments that speak to The Internet not being the utopia it was promised to be at its inception (an understandable result of growth) but the constant drive for us all to "be connected" as some sort of level playing field has reached new levels of absurd.

TDLR: good article about how The Internet has a lot of work to do beyond it's initial promise and how Ready Player One is a crap book that doesn't get it. Do Read.

In the early heady dreamy days of @NashvilleCream we’d often make it a point to describe what Dude Bands wore on stage and it drove them FURIOUS, like they took to the comments to call us shallow (whores) all the time https://t.co/ZQbm4BYxEH

I have to disagree with @yewknee, I think letting Ernest Cline (ready player one) punch up the dialogue on the new Avengers movie was a bad idea https://t.co/Z7mtL0L4sf

Two weeks ago I had a table for two reserved for me in a “no reservations” restaurant and when I walked in Larry David was waiting for a table and questioning why mine was being held and I left my body and haven’t fully recovered.

That kitty getting bonked on the head is continuously enjoyable because of that intense frown he makes. What a great metaphor for life, amiright? No? Maybe just me? Cool.

Record Store Day is tomorrow. If you have a local record store (or two), swing by and buy some local music from them. Everyone will appreciate it.
