A few summers ago, my family went on vacation to upstate New York. We grabbed our keys at a cozy Lincoln Log-style cabin that was snuggled nicely between a lake and a forest, then headed towards our home for the next week. I remember that I was sitting in the back watching a Sean Connery as James Bond film, and was too engaged to care about where we were going. We eventually arrived at our new digs, and I rushed inside. It turns out that we had rented out a “creepy-ass woman whose house children refuse to go near during halloween because she kills people and makes coats out of their skin” type place. Recognizing a perfect opportunity to be dramatic, I immediately went downstairs and quickly turned on Idioteque - easily one of the most unnerving songs that a person could hear in a terrifying house. My mom walked in the house and lost her shit. It was totally awesome and impressively synaesthetic.

This story is completely irrelevant except for the fact that I saw the Knife’s new Opera Tomorrow, In a Year in Dresden. It’s pretty on par with Idioteque for being terrifying and awesome simultaneously. I wrote about the experience for the LA based web-magazine, CURATED.

It’s a crossword puzzle. What publication do you know that doesn’t put it’s answer key upside down? It’s called realism. Look it up.

Prezi is more interesting than powerpoint. It’s not even a fair to put the two up against each other. It’s like comparing apples and oranges, or better yet, an apple that was picked in 1984, and an Orange that was genetically engineered to make whoever eats it immediately attractive, talented, and good at sports without even trying. It’s the cure all of presentational ills.

However, it was designed by geniuses. The problem with geniuses is that when they’re talking, they’re usually thinking of string theory instead of what they’re actually saying. SO, when they make a video explaining what Prezi is, they look ridiculous.

www.internwhisperer.com thinks that I made a few good points apparently and posted my opinions on their fancy-ass website. You can read it by clicking on this sentence or the picture below - speaking of geniuses. This is a picture of a man name James Curran. James Curran invented the ski-lift. I don’t think that this man is the same person, but according to google images, his name is ALSO James Curran so he gets partial credit.
