Evolution Live! - Where to Start with AS3, FlashDevelop and Flixel:

I have it in my head that I’m going to make a ‘game’ during my 7 hour flight to San Francisco on Monday. Guess I better start studying!

This is what I look like when I listen to my video girlfriend, Little Boots.

My co-workers, friends, and family are jealous of my moves.

I’m obsessed with a certain young lady…

lastdancedeathdisco:

Little Boots - REMEDY

Unfortunately she cancelled her show at the Middle East in Boston (sadface) but my work travel next week in San Francisco happens to coincide with her concert at the Fillmore (yay!).

This is my favorite video of hers (even more than some of her bedroom demo videos she posts on YouTube). It’s starting to win over as my favorite song of hers as well (beating out Meddle, which I’ve had on repeat in the back of my head for the past 2 years).

Ken Hollings' next subject: videogames and Future War:

Can’t wait for this, especially after all the great material that came from his investigation into UFO obsessions and conspiracies of the 1950’s. Videogames weren’t mentioned much in “Destroy All Monsters,” his book about Waco, Gulf War I, Elvis and Japan. Maybe his new radio series will expand on this.

EGG CITY RADIO’S POST-PUNK FILM FEST 2!!!!:

via lastdancedeathdisco:

I’ll be damned if I ever say I want to go to LA (and I’ll be double-damned if I ever willingly go there) but this is just not fair! If I didn’t have a job and turned my radio show into a full-time thing, I would totally do this for Boston.

That said, anybody in Boston/Cambridge want to do something like this for our little city?
