We’ve been feeling quite Nordic and Northern European lately. So, besides IKEA, meatballs and lots of snow, we’ve imported some design chops from Sweden and Poland this month. Thanks to Goran Billingskog for generally cleaning things up visually and wonderful work on code from Robert Filipczyk .
So tack and dzięki in Swedish and Polish!
A picture essay on the benefits of music whether you are a marketing suit or a creative genius.
For so long we’ve suffered with a less than optimally designed website. Now, thanks to some kind-hearted elves, we’ve awoken to a beautiful new home online. Take a look around, let us know if you find any bugs and please tell us how we can make things better for you.

As a former MTV VJ (one of first 3 VJs for MTV-Asia), it’s astounding to me how MTV has become so irrelevant to the world of music. It’s used to be the thing,(really!) I tell teenagers today as they roll their eyes in that oh so multi-tasking way, twittering their thumbs, heads nodding white earbuds half-engaged.
One of these days I’ll get around to digitizing and uploading some of my old VJ stuff. And before that, I used to actually write the scripts for MTV Headbangers Ball. Okay that was a long, long time ago…
The economists/journalists at Freakonomics have also noticed the irrelevance of MTV and the rise of YouTube.
And here’s a pic William posted of me on my Facebook account and shocked the heck out me.
William Howell, the future head monk Andrew Ingkavet, Carol Donovan (MTV) at Foundations Forum 1988 in LA. You know hair bands were all the rage, right?

I once drove a Smart car up the Simplon pass in Switzerland in a blizzard.
The Alex Proyas-directed, Marco Beltrami-scored film led the pack this past weekend.
