It turns out there are a TON of Daft Punk fans on Tumblr, posting some awesome images and GIFs. As an homage to all of you and this well-anticipated release, New Division Digital put everything together in one full-screen experience. Check out randomaccessdj.com. It plays all the posts for you, or let’s you DJ them yourself, while you listen to Random Access Memories on Spotify. 
Everything is based on the APIs that Tumblr and Spotify provide.
Perhaps this brings the old CD jacket artwork to a new level? 
Enjoy the dance party.

Done and done. 

This is a great aggregation of Daft Punk content.

Now, everyone has 1TB of storage for free. That’s fantastic for people with free accounts, but there’s no longer an unlimited storage option, and 1TB is less than unlimited by, like, a lot. The new “Doublr” account adds a second terabyte worth of storage for the shockingly high price of $500 per year. (There’s also an account that costs $50 per year that does nothing but hide ads.) Compare this with the old Pro account, which provided unlimited uploads for $25 per year.

Old Pro accounts are grandfathered in, for now, but they’re not available for anyone else. And most Pro members have no real reason to renew. Why renew when 1TB is free? As a result, Flickr’s population of paying members will dwindle. Yahoo is betting that Flickr will be successful because of ad sales, not because of paying customers. And that’s a chilling turn of events for a product that’s always put its community first.

The first in-depth look at the new flickr I’ve seen yet. My first impression was that it looked better, but it was terribly difficult to navigate, which is why I haven’t checked out the new pricing scheme. Seems a bit ridiculous.

There’s no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [with so many people taking photographs] there’s really no such thing as professional photographers anymore.

Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo! [SOURCE]

However, she does admit that there are photographers with “different skill levels”. Okay, I was trying to give Flickr some credit and the beneift of the doubt with this new redesign. But this comment by the Yahoo CEO just shatters any confidence I had. It’s sad, I guess there’s no more professional CEO’s anymore, just different skill levels. Unbelievable ignorance.

This isn’t ignorace, its called “spin” and it is being used to make us feel better so we don’t mind the ads so much.

It’s with great pride that I debut “Go Loko,” the insanely fun new music video I directed for Nicky Da B. Prepare yourself for machine-gun New Orleans Bounce, twerking latex-clad bunnies, intergalactic booty constellations that would make Carl Sagan cry tears of joy, an asstronaut, a possibly demonic hairless cat, and perhaps my greatest invention yet: The Asscam™.

On OK Computer, Radiohead take the ideas they had begun toying with on The Bends into the stratosphere. At a time when they could have played it safe, selling their psychedelic souls for more radio-friendly rock & roll, Radiohead have released a concept album whose theme — based on rock’s age-old fear of the imminence of a world run by computers — unfolds gradually during the course of the album’s 12 songs.
OK Computer was released 16 years ago today.

In Joplin, Mr. Chappel said, police and emergency personnel sifted through piles of rubble for weeks, looking for remains across miles. Individual remains were put in separate body bags, though some bags later were consolidated when identities were matched up, Mr. Chappel said.

Grisly explanation of the difficulties in determining a precise death toll, one of my least favorite measures of disaster.

Stargazing At The Elqui Domos Hotel In Chile | Designed by RDM Arquitectura | Photos by James Florio

In the heart of the mythical Elqui Valley in Pisco, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, 500km north of Santiago in central Chile, lies a magical place that allows for star-spangled dreams beneath the clear pure sky. Combining stargazing and specialized astronomic tours with night-time horseback riding, meditation and even tarot readings, Elqui Domos is a hotel quite like no other.

It was completed in 2005 to fulfil its owners’ desire to observe and enjoy the grandeur of the one of the world’s most star-filled skies. It is one of only seven astronomic hotels around the world and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere, offering breathtaking views of the magic skies draped over the Elqui Valley (the valley is renowned for its sharp, clear skies, as it happens to sit under one of the clearest atmospheres in the world). The lack of rain and pleasant weather all year round set the perfect conditions for astronomic tourism, where guests can gather to enjoy a unique chance to liaise with the stars.
