It has come to my attention that people in Japan have a lot of interesting concepts when it comes to finding space and utilizing it. This triangle house was designed by Ryoichi “Kodi” Kojima and Hiroshi Ono, the house features a wooden frame and a strong base reinforced with concrete. It's a beautiful 3-story triangular house which is located in Kawasaki City,Japan. The interior and exterior of this home were well thought out with it's stylish modern decor. If I lived in Japan I would definitely hire these designers to design my living space. They have the style and minimalistic ideas as I.
So I have been getting down to some chilled out DnB. I know what your thinking DnB is a little to hardcore for me. Well no one says that DnB has to be intense or overwhelming sometimes it's just chill and soothing. Two DJ's know this for a fact and you can hear it in their styles. Bachelors Of Science have just released their fourth album "Warehouse Dayz" which is full of great tracks that consistently surprise you with a diverse palette of sounds, ensuring that things never get stale. Although this duo has just released their new album they have been getting more of a response on their two remixes they produced. The first remix that they did was Death Cab for Cutie's "Brothers on a Hotel Bed" which by itself is a great track. In this remix though it doesn't disappoint the ears with it's clean drums and shimmering vocals which gives it a dreamy sound which I enjoy. The second remix they did was The XX "Infinity" which keeps the drums minimal while still keeping it's rhythm and keeping the song focused yet soothing. If you want to check out the new album by Bachelors Of Science then check out their website where they have the album streaming. If you want to download the two remixes then just click on the titles of the tracks in the post.

Well I have returned from my much needed vacation and as I promised I will provide you with a new post today. So lets get right down to it. Let me introduce the NEW Xbox 360 Slim. I think it's about time to get rid of the old style and bring in the new. The new and improved Xbox 360 Slim is quieter and has a new sleek design. It will retail for about $300 bucks for a new one. In addition to a gorgeous, angular new case, the new 360 features a whisper-quiet design, built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 250GB hard drive, and an included wireless controller and headset. Plus if you add the Kinect ($TBA) to your new Xbox it will look way better and provide you with some sweet new moves.
The Kinect is a motion tracking add-on, featuring a camera, audio sensors, motion-sensing tech to track 48 points of movement on your body, and the ability to recognize faces and voices. All of which works together to give you a unique, motion-driven gaming experience without the need of a controller. I did a blog on the Kinect back in November 2009 if you want to check it out and get some more info and a watch a demo video on it.

Xbox 360 Goes On A Diet
Recently I have become interested in taking photography pictures with a manual camera. I didn't have one so I was in the market of purchasing a film camera. I was telling a friend of mine about the interest I had in using a manual camera. She advised me that she had a manual camera that she would let me borrow to see if it was something that really interested me. I was excited because I would have something to test out and work with. So she let me borrow her Olympus OM10 Film Camera.
Once I had read the whole entire manual online a couple of times I was ready to give it a try. So on a really hot Sunday I went to Philippe Park in Safety Harbor, Florida to find some shoots of awesomeness. It was quite fun to say the least. I also did not alter them in Photoshop so they are all raw images. So below are some of the shoots that I took from my little photography journey of Philippe Park.

After today I start my Vacation and will be heading to Tennessee for Bonnaroo and I won't be able to write a post while I'm gone. Unfortunately, I'm the only person at this point that writes the posts. I am however working on having some ghost writers assist in helping bring good quality posts and different viewpoints to this blog. The next post will be on 06/15/2010.Pictures from Camera's Past
I'm a geek and I'm cool with that and one of the thing that this nerd likes is robots. Who doesn't like them right? I came across the photography of Thomas Jackson. In his collection you will find that he has a strange robot friend who helps with chores around the house. While the robot is completing his duties, he is surrounded by different light sequences or structures that are almost alien like. It's interesting as you go through his work. It tells a story in a silent fashion. I also took a gander of his new work which I highly recommend checking out. The lighting sequences are amazing and the development of the photography gives it a dark and ominous feel to them.
Lights and Robots
It has been some time since I have done anything related to web design. So let me get started then and give you some different image gallery options to use on your website. jQuery image galleries and sliders are very common on adding to your portfolio sites and are also useful for any other type of site for displaying images and photos. They also provide a better user experience and make viewing images easier and more stylish to your website.
So being in the spirit of the almighty Monday. I have found a couple of JQuery image sliders and galleries plugins that can give your galleries a much needed stylish look to go with that stylish website.
Supersized is a full-screen slideshow jQuery plugin. It supports images preloaded with image cycling with transitioning effect.
This image slider was initially conceived to create 3D transitions between slides, turned out to be a convenient and multifunction solution that can be applied in a range of website building areas, from content slider to feature slider and image & banner rotators.
Galleria is a javascript image gallery written in jQuery. It loads the images one by one from an unordered list and displays thumbnails when each image is loaded.
The jQuery Cycle Plugin is a slideshow plugin that supports many different types of transition effects.
Piecemaker is an open source 3D Flash image rotator gallery. I actually think this one is pretty neat. Check out the demo.

Some Great jQuery Image Galleries & Sliders
I'm always on the look out for new artists and designers that catch my attention. Drew Rois is one of those artist that caught my attention with his collection of Space Posters. He started a little studio called Rokk Hard which he states is a amalgamation of two very different genres of music; Metal and Disco. With powerful visual hailing from both genres, they are inseparable in my mind, and this is what drives my work.
What I like about his space poster collections is that what seems to be a simple design can really be seen as a multitude of layers which comprises to make a modern simple look. I would have to say though my favorite one is the Astroknot posters with its vintage style look and its great choice of colors to match the style in which he was going for. It's like looking at a rip in the universe and you only get a strange glimpse of Earth. (Sorry had to geek out for a minute). If you want to check out more of his work or follow him on his social networks check out his website.

Bonobo became a favorite of mine after hearing his song "Terrapin" which was release back in 1999 by Tru Thoughts. He then in 2000 released his first LP "Animal Magic" which was self produced and he grew quickly to become the new down-tempo pioneer. In 2003 Bonobo switched labels and came over to Ninja Tune in which he produced three albums under this label. This includes his new album"Black Sands".
The new album "Black Sands" is Bonobo's newest album since 2006. This album was release in March of 2010 and it couldn't have came at a better time. Simon Green has once again provided us with a electronic plethora of hip hop/ jazzy hybrid mixed with the already well achieved textured sounds from his previous albums. Bonobo I guess you can say is a medley of jazz, funk, soul, electronic, pop, hip-hop, trip-hop, drum and bass, lounge, classical, and so on. Its very hard to stick him into one genre of music due to his vast style and arrangements of his songs. In listening to the new album you will find this to be true as you go from one song to the next. The album has a flow to it that will go by unnoticed throughout the album. So check it out and let me know what you think of the album. Below is a 10 minute teaser of the album.
