The Guardian Music blog (Free subscription) | yesterday

Observer Music Monthly starts the countdown to the 10 best albums of the decade with this melancholic masterclass from dubstep's dark knight In an era when musicians revealed their private lives to the public via MySpace and Twitter, when even the biggest stars were stripped of enigma by the paparazzi or in the pages of Heat, the idea of anonymity suddenly seemed powerful, if you knew how to use it....

"Watch out for a communication snarl-up tomorrow. Venus, your normally well-meaning ruler, squares up to Jupiter. The result - mercifully brief - is ruffled feathers and misunderstandings all round." No - sorry Caroline, passed me by. For G: "A partnership gets a much-needed boost of energy. It's all thanks to Mercury, your ruler, receiving positive strokes from dynamic Mars. Suddenly...

Chemtrails - Barium - Poisoning or mop up?

Mike Philbin's Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday

BARIUM it's everywhere (tests at a nearby Air Particulate station in Wytham Woods, Oxford prove it) and my suggestion for the major cause of such poisoning was the static dissipator in commercial and military jet fuel. So what's so wrong with Barium? Barium's not just an inert heavy metal like mercury or aluminium - which is bad enough - Barium has far more SINISTER roots. Radioactive Barium's a massive...

Click-Ability

Blog Town, PDX (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago

It's called This Blog Taken . Give it a try! Mark uploads new pictures daily (to insure it never gets boring). You've got to admit the site's got "Click-Ability" (that's my made-up word—but you can use it too.)...

ComingSoon.net (Free subscription) | 4 hours ago

Director Richard Linklater has done a lot of different types of movies over the years from the pioneering indies of his early career through big studio comedies like School of Rock , and he's always been as prolific as he has been diverse. With that in mind, it's strange to think we haven't seen a new movie from him in quite some time, and to see his new movie Me and Orson Welles , one would think...

SlashGear (Free subscription) | yesterday

The Hack-a-Sketch takes a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop and adds the usual two Etch-a-Sketch rotary knobs; this time, though, they’re hooked up to two potentiometers...

Laptop Etch-a-Sketch via Arduino & Processing

MAKE: Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday

Michael created the Hack-a-Sketch - An Arduino board reads the inputs from two potentiometers (the knobs), and sends the information via USB to a Processing sketch which displays the path of the stylus on the screen. This was extremely easy to build because the Arduino is just running the StandardFirmata firmware. No custom code on the board. The Processing sketch was surprisingly easy to write. Using...
