Listen.
You need to unlink your feeds.
I understand why you did it. I’ve made the same mistake myself. But it’s hurting your friends, it’s hurting you, and it’s hurting the Internet. You need to stop.
You need to stop automatically dumping your feeds from one account into another.
Look, I know it’s tempting. New service, not sure how you’ll keep up with the ever demanding maw and there’s the “import your content” button, right there in the sign-up process. A quick trip through a login screen or an OAuth link and there you are: All your stuff automatically aggregated into a new one-stop-shop of the genius things that pop out of your head.
No muss, no fuss, right?
This is an illusory solution. It’s a false idol. It’s contributing to noise pollution on the Internet and the only people it helps are company execs who want to make spurious claims about “user engagement”. It’s diminishing the quality of your output and of others’ experiences.
You need to unlink your feeds and put a tiny bit more effort into using each service for what it is.

I wrote a blog post about the Customise your Speciali for Umbro – which I entered but didn’t win.
No surprise there to be honest.
Anyway I thought people might be interested in seeing the results the competition produced. I know Umbro are really happy with the outcome, and I think they look pretty cool. The dressed shoe bottom is designed by David Smith. The lion made up of Umbro logos is by Marko Govorusa. The mouth is made by Tom Fournier.
Really nice work – and props to Anomaly and Enjoy This.

Perched on top of an Atlas V rocket, on February 11 the Solar Dynamics Observatory launched into space. About a minute after leaving the Earth, the rocket did two things: it passed the speed of sound, and screamed past a sundog, a rainbow-colored optical effect in the sky caused by ice crystals. And when it did it was incredible.
Open in YouTube. Go full screen. Click the “720″ button.
Pay close attention around the 1min 50sec mark.
Those ripples were caused by the shockwave of the rocket going through the cloud, which quickly dispersed. Since the cloud had ice crystals in it, the sundog got literally blown away.

Vimeo have rolled out a shiny new mobile site – and yes it looks at gorgeous as website. All videos are served in H.264 goodness. I like the little touches, like the fact Vimeo removes the Safari “browser” shell. You’ll have to see what I mean for yourself.
Point your mobile to http://www.vimeo.com/m
The choice of H.264 encoding is significant because it means another prominent site is making video available in a non-Flash format. In a similar vein Vimeo also launched a beta of their new HTML5 player, and Google is now testing an HTML5 version of YouTube.

Stick in your URL. Codeorgan analyses the <body> content. Does some clever stuff. Then plays back a musical interpretation of your content.
Give it a go: http://www.codeorgan.com/
My song sounded a bit weird. Bad content I reckon.

Clavilux 2000 – Interactive instrument for generative music visualization from Jonas Heuer on Vimeo.
The Clavilux 2000 is an interactive instrument for generative music visualization.
The setting of the installation consists of three parts:
- a digital piano with 88 keys and midi output
- a computer running a vvvv patch
- a vertical projection above the keyboard.
For every note played on the keyboard a new visual element appears in form of a stripe, which follows in its dimensions, position and speed the way the particular key was stroke.
Colours give the viewer and listener an impression of the harmonic relations – and each key has it’s own color scheme and “wrong” notes stand out in contrasting colors.
Would love to see Les Dawson do his piano ‘routine’ on it.
EDIT
For people who have no idea who I’m talking about – here’s the man himself.

Lumitectura from barno on Vimeo.
Love this music video by Barno created around the relationship between light, music, and architecture.
The clip is defined by 3 elements:
-One videofile, shot between 2am and 6pm.
-The speed of playback of this file, which is synchronised manually to the music.
-About 50 different masks, wich define where the underlayed movie is going to appear on the screen.
This makes it possible to have multiple light situations in the same moment. So the sunlight caught from the building is the “natural” palette for the entire colors of the clip.
Great work!

Lady GaGa cleaned up at the BRITS last night. Within 20 minutes this appeared on Twitter. It’s a list of the most frequently deleted tracks / scrobbles by the Last.fm community in January 2010.
Are people embarrassed to admit they like her, or is she a bit shit? You tell me.
