See the Sights! The Sounds! Run from the Empire's troops!

I came across this set of art posters by Justin Van Genderen, graphic designer out of Chicago. Very cool. Here's my fav from the bunch:

More iPad musings

So I read this article by Rob Foster, On iPads, Grandmas and Game-changing, and it really resonated. I’ve heard the same sort of things from the people in my life, and the folks who’ve asked me about the iPad I’ve given a similar answer: “This would be perfect for [relative/friend].”

My favorite quote from his article, in reference to his technophobic friend, talking about his iPhone:“I had never once seen him exhibit any excitement over technology but the next time I saw him, he could barely contain his enthusiasm for his new phone.”

Awesome.

Is that a gig?

It is! I’m playing a show tomorrow night with a band called Matrajah, at the Woodbine Club, located at 57 Blue Hill Ave, Boston MA.
