I'm Rob Blatt. For the most part I wrote about my dogs, music and technology. I swear quite a bit, so this blog isn't for people who can't handle that. I encourage you to subscribe to the RSS feed. All the random images to the right are courtesy of my amazing wife.
Wow. Last night was one heck on a night in Manhattan with the stars aligning at the Lunasa Bar. There were lots of awesome people there, some faces I knew from the internet, some faces I knew from previous encounters and some new faces. I’ve gotta acknowledge Walt Ribeiro in general for being an awesome guy and one of those new friends I made at PodCamp a few weeks ago. At some point in the night Walt and I decided to walk around together to avoid the “one new guy in a conversation” and it worked pretty well.
Anyway, afterwards Amber joined us for some drinks and we headed to S’Mac with Kevin from TikiBarTV, Alana Taylor (who will have her own video show soon but she wouldn’t tell me with what site), Bryan Thatcher of FuseBox and one guy I can’t recall his name or where he was from.
It was a great night and, the organizer, Mike Lewis seriously out did himself with the bar selection ($3 well drinks and $3 beers). I managed to shoot a tiny bit of video thanks to Kevin’s camera:
Go visit www.nin.com. Why? Because Trent Reznor and gang have already released their follow up to the well received “Ghosts” with “The Slip”. And it’s absolutely free.
(thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years - this one’s on me) -nin.com
If you read my post about Kevin Kelly’s 1,000 fans appropriately titled 1,000 fans, you’d have an idea that I think the world of Trent Reznor since he broke up with his record label.
With a tour coming up, now Nine Inch Nails have captured our attention with “Ghosts” and have peaked interest right before the tour with “The Slip”.
I suggest the mp3 version for most, but for those of you who have a fancy stereo, there’s a torrent file for a 24 bit 96kHz .WAV version too.
For a moment, I want to acknowledge Upstart Blogger, who created the theme for Wordpress that I bastardized for the site design. I’m not pointing out the site because they are giving away iPhones and a MacBook Air, I’m pointing out the site because I love my theme and they’ve put together some bang up code.
Anyway, Upstart Blogger is the place for what I’ve been discussing.
If you’ve ever checked the archives for the site, they weren’t properly formatted. As of today, they fit the formatting of the main page of the site. I’ve almost changed every original page of this theme, perhaps enough to release a fork of the original. If anyone’s interested, please let me know.
