I can’t feel my nose

Nothing can stop himDamn but it’s cold here in Cape Town today. There are chunks of ice falling out of the sky, and I am wayyyyy pleased I don’t have to go out there for any reason.

It’s been both gratifying and humbling to see how many of you have downloaded the Intrepid OST - thank you very much. It turns out I made a screwup in the mp3 pack, Track 17 was wrong. This has now been fixed, but if you’d like just the correct track without having to download the whole thing again, you can grab it here.

Now then. Karl and I had a great doef-doef session today where we dusted off something we began ages ago. It’s coming along really well, getting a good solid feel in this track. Bonus points if you can identify the source of the brass samples in use, though I can’t imagine anyone but a member of my family guessing this.

If you’re a female vocalist and you can do house and kwaito vox, please get in touch.

Annnnnnnd as it’s Friday:

Weird Scifi Sewers
This is a gallery of pictures of the Japanese sewer system. It is mind bogglingly cool - the structures down there are massive, and remind me a lot of elements from HR Giger and Bladerunner and The Lord of the Rings … check it out, it’s extremely cool.

Unfortunate product placement
I have a love-hate relationship with advertising. On the one hand, I really think that a lot of it is art. Or can be. But I also hate how it’s everywhere. This page has a lovely list of instances where the message of the ad got a little warped by it’s placement. With picturey goodness.

Tiny little PC
Okay, you have to be a bit geeky to appreciate this, but I think it’s genius. A PC the size of a paperback novel - and cheap! It won’t run the latest games, but that’s not what it’s for. 12 out of 10 for form factor. I want one. Heck, I want two!

Wizards that could kick Harry Potter’s ass
It’s technically redundant, because we all know that without his wand, any one of us could kick Harry’s ass. Were I in Fight Club, I would fight Harry Potter.

Ahhhhhh cute!
It’s a doggy this week. I don’t normally do doggies, but this is gorgeous.

    That’s great - and I am absolutely certain the brass is from [CENSORED BY ME]

    Correct! Well done, you win this lovely packet of wine gums.

    I chopped the answer out of your comment so that others may guess too … :)
