For the entire year of 2003 (January 1st to December 31st) this site will feature one mp3 file (every day) to download. Listeners of the incredibly strange and outsider realm take note, for this is the majority of material that will be made available. Obscure (and for the most part out-of-print) recordings will be the primary focus.
Try your hand at "sorting" individuals and see if it matches how people think of themselves.

AudioPaint generates sounds from pictures. The program can read JPEG, GIF and BMP files and translates each pixel position and color into frequency, amplitude and pan information. AudioPaint can therefore be considered as a massive additive synthesis tool.

Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. (via The Museum of the city San Francisco.)
File under job performance. While reading an article in Christian Science Monitor I realized the following: As Governor of Texas, George W Bush signed 152 death warrants. The number of American military personnel killed in Iraq now stands at 158 (102 before May 1st, 56 since.)
William Gibson reminds us why George Orwell is still important (via NYT.)
Sotheby's Contemporary Art auction kicks off tomorrow in London. They stream the auctions live (it's great fun to watch that Jean Michel Basquiat piece you have had your eye on go for a kazillion bucks.) If you have not had a chance to pick up my birthday present, lot 152 would be welcome.
