I just got out of the dentist’s clinic. This is the third day in a row i have been here. This is because of some less than desirable dental work that needed correction. Not my idea of fun!

(more…)

Every now and then I like to team up with the kind folks from Resonant Vibes and put together a special mix to do some cross promotion. Last year I did one which had a huge number of downloads – it will be appearing in the mix archive here shortly, along with the new one. In the mean time, if you’d like to hear the mix, check out the Shakedown Podcast on iTunes or by going to the Shakedown website and downloading it.
Little poll here.. how many of you use services like Digg and Delicious? Would you find it useful if I included links for each one of my posts for this kind of thing?

I am full of food and it FEELS GOOD. Gotta love the pop overs.

Hey i am posting from my cell phone. If this works then i can see a few more updates to the site during my commute to work. I have always enjoyed long text messages so this will be great.

The name “Atholhu” is the original Dhivehi word for atoll. Pictured above is Zorg, one of three sharks that lives in the living room here.
This mix was originally done for Fractal’s “Tide Pool is Love” show on Proton Radio. Since that particular show airs at midnight on a Thursday night, I thought it might be fair to post the set here so that people who may have missed it could have a listen. Let me know what you think.

I keep a list of recommended links around for other people as much as I do for myself. So, if it starts becoming useless when people are not updating their sites, it becomes an interest to pare down the list to those websites which are continually maintained by the authors themselves.
My list as of earlier today:
Krishen – Consistently updated.
Neil – Hasn’t been updated in a really long time. Toast
Anand – Last updated in March. Toast.
Dad – Hasn’t been updated in a year. Jam.
Extrametrical – Consistently updated.

Neat concept. I like how it groups people together in clusters. Inadvertently you can see the electronica scene in Victoria as a cluster at the bottom in the green.
Speaking of “electronica”, I have a mix airing on Pacific Front Sessions on Proton Radio this Wednesday at noon PST with Joel Armstrong, and another mix later this week on Tide Pool is Love on Proton Radio with Fractal. That one is on at midnight on Thursday night for you nocturnal types.
As you may have heard, “ariz0na” is done and as such there is one last DJ ariz0na mix which I will be posting shortly. I will continue mixing (as I have lately) under the AFK name, which I also produce under. The event to end ariz0na was a smashing success, and was a great chance for people to soak up the Pacific Front sound, what with Formulate, c79, Dustin H and Fractal also performing that night. Definitely a night to remember!

storm warning: ariz0na’s last stand – 07/07/07.
