Totally manly.
Totally.
So anyway, I made cupcakes today. To be fair I live with two girls, so I did it for them. Monnie is running a Cup Cake Camp soon, and being the chef of the family felt like I would probably end up being the one to make cupcakes for it, so I thought I had better practice.
When we bought our Wii, I promised Mil that we could listen to TripleJ using it, as we haven’t had a radio in our lounge room for years, and she was missing it. So I set up Orb to play my iTunes library and TripleJ and Radio National. But my computer had to be on for it to stream properly, and Orb was pretty useless for streaming video (the other reason I installed it), so eventually I gave up on it, and Mil went back to a music-free existence :(
A week ago, Tech Wired offered a $50 iTunes card to the best logo design for their upcoming new website. Since then, they upgraded the offer to a $100 card, and the entries flowed thick and fast. Within minutes of reading about it, I had sketched an idea and began plotting out a logo on Fireworks. It’s the fastest I’ve been able to get from initial idea to sketch to mockup in my career and I was mighty proud of it for only a few hours work. The initial version looked like this:
It’s like Frankenstein built a logoA couple of people liked the idea, but thought the typography was lacking. So the next day I had a go at sprucing it up, and re-doing the typography.
Most of the Justice League have one weakness that stops them dead in their tracks. I thought Batman was immune. Turns out he does have one weakness though — and it took an evil duplicate to find it… Batman can’t handle a nipple cripple.
Cover of Justice League of America #13 — Riddle of the Robot Justice League!Update: 2007-12 My feed is superceded by the ACTUAL OFFICIAL triple j: new music podcast. Please subscribe to it! It includes links to the actual MP3s.
Update: 2008-08-29 I’ve deleted the feed from Feedburner, as it’s no longer necessary.
Triple J (an Australian youth radio station) has been putting free music up on their site for years for people to download in MP3 format. They don’t really seem to have a way of telling people when new music is up there though.
Well today I found a use for the wonderful Feed43 service that’s been sitting in my bookmarks folder, and I’ve created a simple feed that should keep track of the new music as it’s posted.
I’m making the feed public with this disclaimer: I don’t own the music and have nothing to do with the Triple J website. Use it at your own risk. If it breaks I reserve the right to not fix it. If I am told to stop it by Triple J I will. I have not included a direct link to the music to avoid as many issues as possible — please visit the Triple J website to download the songs.
Otherwise, I hope you find it useful!
