The first poster for the upcoming Facebook inspired movie The Social Network was released this past week. The movie will star Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker. Apparently the movie will be directed by the same guy that directed Fight Club, Mr. David Fincher. The movie will be based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal, a book that profiles the beginnings and subsequent success of Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Supposedly the movie is going to be pretty funny, I don’t know how they managed to blend the weird attitude of Zuckerberg with the “funny” word, but we’ll see how it all managed to end up.
Muchas veces, cuando alguien menciona la palabra “Favela” lo primero que a uno le viene a la mente es violencia, suciedad, pobreza, entre otros pensamientos mayormente negativos. Pero si te diría que con tan solo un simple cambio, se puede eliminar uno de esos pensamientos? Probablemente no me creerías. Pero al ver lo que el proyecto Favela Painting está haciendo, al menos a mí, hizo cambiar mi pensar sobre lo que son estos lugares. Lugares, los cuales debido a su fama de “violentos”, han sido casi abandonados a su suerte. Favela Painting, consiste de un grupo de diseñadores holandeses que se han dado la tarea de darle una nueva cara a estos lugares, haciendo una cosa tan simple como un cambio de color. Aquí les dejo un par de fotos que demuestran lo que han logrado hacer.
A veces solo se necesitan pequeños cambios para cambiar radicalmente un lugar.
Ya hace unos años que la música electrónica ha comenzado a tomar auge en Puerto Rico. A medida que pasa el tiempo, voy descubriendo más y más estaciones que dedican aunque sea una mínima parte de su programación a este género musical. Ya hace algún tiempo atrás he querido hacer una lista que contenga todos los programas dedicados a la música electrónica en Puerto Rico. Y sin más preámbulo, aquí les dejo la lista que acabo de finalizar.

Si notan que falta algún programa por listar, solo déjenlo en la sección de “comments” y yo me encargaré de añadirlos.
Richie Hawtin returns with one of the most referenced electronic music monikers in dance music… PLASTIKMAN.
Hawtin will unleash a live electronic performance that takes his mastery of technology to the next level, incorporating state of the art visual architecture, interactive technology, and more to be revealed in this return of one of the founders of modern electronic music.
Plastikman Live will be debuted at this year’s Timewarp festival on March 27th, 2010 – the first in a series of hand-picked dates that will form the first ever Plastikman Live world tour. The new show evolves from the previous Plastikman live performance at Canada’s Mutek festival in 2004, by continuing to explore the connection between visual, audio and interactivity, and once again partnering visual architects Derivative alongside visual designer Ali Demirel. Building upon everything learned from the Hawtin/Demirel Timewarp shows of 2005-2007 and 2008’s Contakt multimedia events, Plastikman Live condenses all of these elements into a new highly concentrated one-hour experience.
Reinterpreting the 18 year history of Hawtin’s Plastikman material, Plastikman Live moves from the acidic atmospheres of ‘Sheet One’ to the disorienting funk of ‘Musik’, to the nostalgic moments of ‘Artifakts’, through the depths of ‘Consumed’ and into the darkness of ‘Closer’; everything re-imagined through the capabilities of modern technology. Recapturing the spirit of the early Plastikman albums and parties in Detroit, Plastikman Live is a fusion of the past and future, the visual and audible, between performer and audience, of expectations and anticipation; creating the ultimate Plastikman experience.
“It has always fascinated me how sound, lighting, visuals and human interactivity define and deepen a concert experience By focusing on my own unique Plastikman sound I hope to find new freedom and explore the extremes of where these elements converge, challenging our senses, stimulating our memories, and creating an experience of physical and mental intensity that can be only Plastikman.” – Richie Hawtin, January 2010
Curtiss Spontelli has created this graphic that will surely help you understand how the storage media has progressed over time.
I just found this link that shows many famous actors redoing their most iconic characters. Here are some of them.
If you want to see more pictures, just click on the link.
Update: The pictures are from Empire’s 20th Anniversary edition.
Here’s a video that’s been making a lot of “buzz” around the internet. Pretty funny.
Also, this one is worth a look. Enjoy!
Just something interesting that I found in one of the forums that I visit.
A fake documentary about a fake terrorist turns all too real when the San Francisco Police Department is called in because of a bomb threat.
I don’t want to write a lot today, I just want you to hear what I’ve done.
Only for electronic music fans. Enjoy!
