I just found a new music blog called Earmilk. I have been following for a few days now and find myself returning regularly. Found the site through this review for Volcano Choir. I’m excited for the new CD and glad I ran across them. More recently, I liked this post of Elaquent‘s “The Love”.

See Mystery Lights

See Mystery Lights is a great new album by YACHT. I’m guessing you’ve already heard of them by now but I was reading their review on Pitchfork and the first line of the review makes reference to Jona Bechtolt of the Blow. Naturally I had to check it out. If you haven’t heard of the Blow before check them out too. Not sure what I think of See Mystery Lights as a whole but I’m liking what I’ve heard so far… at least enough to post.

Free Textbooks A Reality

This new post ties in nicely with the beginning of the fall semester. I saw this article over at Ars. If you don’t already know, I read Ars daily so expect more posts about stuff I read over there. Anyway, the story is about Flat World Knowledge and one of the best business ideas I’ve heard in a long time. Flatword are offering free open-source textbooks to students and educators. The company aims to make mony by offering DRM free PDFs or audiobooks as well as customizable printed textbooks and class materials. As a student this is good for me in a number of ways.

Modeling Terrain I

This lesson shows how you can use 2 dimensional point data with elevation attributes to construct a 3D surface. It then shows how to calculate useful data from the surface just created. P.S. Check out ScreenShots which I used to create this tutorial.

Gloves

I just downloaded the new release from Gloves and I’m really liking it. I thought my first post here would be about GIS but I’m still working on that one. In the mean time you should check out “Too Much To Dream” over at Bigstereo. I’ll definitely check into their other works.

Hello world!
