I think we are nearing the completely mobile times. Portability and availability combine with convenience and give us me in the park on a sunny Sunday afternoon still managing to hit the net with some postpost.
I don't get paid for postpost so I'm not in those times just yet. But my screenshare is strong and about to get stronger, my apps get upgraded,
my G increments higher and my cloud grows larger. If I could afford an ipad right now my interface would grow and then yes, I'm working from anywhere in the world (that I can G on).
That is a mobile future, that is the office-less life we could lead, supporting local businesses and the community while maintaining our required productivity. Work from the park an it's not UCB.
Ezrazmus Elemento Jones (aka DJ Raz) performs live tonight, smashing genres and resetting standards all over. Funk, rock, soul, and dub all get in the mix, fondling for fun and profit. In your face chaos. Add cheap drinks and beautiful mutants and you have a double hockey stick kind of night.It's all at the Duck Island Club tonight (under new management) in beautiful Cleveland Ohio. It's summer so hold your excuses.

(by Fuckface Bookman, Associated Pruss) NORTHSIDE, RUSTOPIA - Can your numerous profiles, sensors, logins, switches, accounts, and buttons combine into a single entity? How long would you last if everything you did in a day went into this single profile, nothing more than a record in the relational database that is 21st century life?
Not long says Ezrazmus Jones, which is why he fears such constant connectivity. The connectivity can only rationally remain constant if we are allowed multiple personalities.
"I have many" says Ezrazmus 'Elemento' Jones (not his real name), "and it's a good thing. I can lurk, I can pull rank, I can drop my credentials, and I can hide them just as easily. Just like offline, you have no idea who you are dealing with unless you know me face to face in a real way. Asinine Intelligence will lead us astray."
Hmm, pseudo-interesting point. So add to the discussion here on World Have Yer Say by commenting on if/how you manage to live online as a single entity or if you go the iSchizo route to protect the innocents.
Note that this blog is eaten alive by google, yahoo and bing spiders so you are being recorded (technorati won't even take a nibble though!).
Hey internuts:
Another week means another remix. Tonight I'm doing a live 2MERICA remix project along with some excellent additions from more robots than people on my table tonight. To combat these gadget ghouls I have armed myself with some fresh audio live from TV and some fresh tricks from my digits.
If you have any idea what any of this means, I'll see you at the Duck Island Club tonight. For those of you not enjoying life in Cleveland someday soon I'll be recording my set and perhaps sharing online somehow.

Now that I'm out in the mix DJ'ing again, I've been peeping some of the technology used to spin music in 2010. I started out as a vinyl DJ in the 90's, then got my laptop-based Traktor setup going around 2002. I remember being one of the few laptop DJ's around back then, and used to catch crap and generally cause controversy amongst that crowd.
I even showed up to spin a slot for a breakdance event once and they didn't want me to setup the laptop where the dancefloor could see it, because these people were not down with dancing to a laptop back then. I can handle a heckler (I was used to it, I had no 1200 in my vinyl rig!) and usually a few 1/4 beat stutter-loops during a flanger sweep and toggling EQ cutoffs with finger-rolls got them to humph and back off. You just gotta let the other DJ wannabees know that they can't do what you just did and things work out.
Time has marched on and these days even the hippest bands have macbooks sitting on stage, and yes, the iPhone and the iPad can do all sorts of sick audio trickery. Check it:
That's some serious audio software, capable of crazy noise in both a live and studio setting. Given the average D-A converters in Apple's consumer stuff it's not high-end, but it will work on a gig fer sure.
So if you are cool enough to see me perform in the next few months you might see me give some of these 21st century toys a workout. I know my Kaos pad and my old trusty Electribe already get a nice beat down.

The first ever "Northside Nights" went off successfully Thursday night, complete with some hitches. 'What did I miss' you might wonder? A random night of Cleveland music and culture, just pressing my ear to the track and spinning nothing but locals on the PA and the TV all night.The challenge was successfully met and the music was killer all night long. Much fun was had and the police only rolled by twice.
Here's a look through my bin:
Check your boy getting some local pub for the Northside Nights:
Thanks Scene for the mention, it should be a good time Thursday night. If you are in town please do make an appearance.
