So today is the birth of my daughter and also the first day of the encierros (running of the bulls) at the festival of San Fermin in Pamplona. Over 1,000,000 people go to San Fermin every year to party, lose their minds and run with the bulls. I got to go in 2000 and it was like mardi gras except with bulls. San Fermin was martyred by being dragged through the streets by bulls. The run today went well with only a few injuries, the bulls looked solid im a fan of the limosina (the red bull) he looked like a death bringer. Viva San Fermin.
Until that day, I'll make my home down here
What a great piece of art from Patrick Gannon. the picture just really sits well with me and is really meditative
The Prado Museum
A master of the earth...one of the most beautiful places on the world and in 2000 me and my buddy adam got to see it in person...enjoy
design equals record player
i have had recent internal debates about the new modern world of design. i feel that it is lazy and contrived....but this is pretty slick to say the least....im guessing that im still formulating an opinion. you can’t help but be impressed by this sleek and super simple design by designer Charles Pyott. This portable vinyl player is called “Linos” and is so much more modern than any vinyl player I think I’ve ever seen. It conserves space, is muchly mobile and looks very, very cool. You load the record to the lower spindle element, lock it into place and push power. It then releases the tonearm and spins up the record. You can hook it up through your computer’s USB port for sound (and power), or use the USB power adapter with standard stereo jack output. The diagram explains it better… Et voila, mes amis!
