News at Seven

7:33 am

News at Seven automatically generates a virtual newscast – complete with images and videos – pulled from RSS feeds, presented by a video game character. The speech is awkward, but I imagine this could be the future of newscasts – tailored to your interests. Imagine a newscast compiled of the RSS feeds to which you subscribe, presented as if it were the 6:00 (sorry, 7:00) news. Brilliant concept.

Say Anything

November 7, 2006 at 3:38 pm

I downloaded Say Anything’s album two weeks ago and I haven’t stopped listening since. This is some of the most original, aggressive, poetic music I’ve heard in years. The album “… is a real boy” is full of youthful angst and frustration. The emotions range from hysterical violence to complete self-concious analysis. Do yourself a favor and listen to the album in full. I’ve become an instant fan.
