This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 79

March 28th, 2008

Amazing, a published weekly links on a Friday afternoon. This has got to be a first. I should be publishing a couple cool projects I have been working on in the next few weeks, so make sure to sporadically check in. Also, the days are dwindling for this month’s Comment Love - so if you want to add some more money to the total, drop a comment (or three) in this post.

Enjoy the links.

Nine Inch Nails’ Ghosts Album is About MUCH More Than Music.

March 3rd, 2008
Nine Inch Nails Ghosts

If you have been reading this blog for even a moderate length of time, you are most likely aware of the unusually high amount of Nine Inch Nails articles on this site (seen here and here to name a few). Considering the general theme of this blog, I could see how this could be seen as strange to many. Still, I tend to write a lot about how digital media (which design-technology intersects with) is changing not only mainstream media, but the society which consumes it - which in turn impacts how we do our work. For the past two years, Nine Inch Nails has really been on the frontlines of pushing media away from the consolidated, copyright-heavy, corporate-run model to a distributed, grassroots, artist-run model.

Last night, Nine Inch Nails released Ghosts I-IV, an independently-produced album that is available for download for the price of $5. There are 36 songs in this album, so that $5 looks even more reasonable than ever. For those of you into the tangible, CDs can be purchased as well. Additionally, 9 songs are available completely for free - no questions asked. While this is distribution model is new, it is not new - we have seen it with In Rainbows and Niggy Tardust, each with their own little tweaks on it. However, make no mistake, Ghosts is unlike any other album distribution we have seen.

This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 31

December 15th, 2006

There are a ton of article-based links for you this week. Honestly, this has to be the most unbalanced collection of any week that I can remember. Still, nothing be good clicks for you readers. I have to say, the twisted humor I possess loves the The Nietzsche Family Circus site - truly genius! My good friends Sergio and Kimmy had two very good articles as well - well worth the read.

Enjoy the links.

This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 26

November 10th, 2006

Wow, week 26 - a half of a year on the weekly links of the week. I still cannot believe that this feature has made it every week. This feature has slowly become one of my favorites and I feel that it is slowly starting to catch on in other places. I apologize for the plethora of election 2006 links, I got a little carried away…

I am looking forward to celebrating the big 52, that will definitely be pretty cool. I hope these links make your entry into the weekend that much nicer.

Enjoy the links.

This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 23

October 18th, 2006

Another unbalanced dose of links comes your way. I once again really neglected about half of the categories - this seems to be a constant problem… Nonetheless, there are some really good links in here again; I especially enjoyed the SomethingAwful Physics video. I know a certain friend of mine will enjoy it as well.

As always, please feel free to put any links (including ones to your own site) that you consider interesting. No porn, no gambling, no hate, but pretty much anything else is cool. Enjoy.
