The Musicollage

I'd been tinkering with remixing songs with Cool Edit for a while, and this is a piece that I had left hanging for a long time. So I just added a drum roll and a crash over the weekend to put an end to it. It sounds (to me atleast) less like a remix and more like a medley of songs that forms "a different whole", and so I'm calling this a musicollage (not to be confused with Jorge Sylvester's 1996 album). I might actually try and make more, so if you particularly dont like it, do let me know :). For arbitrary reasons, this piece is called "Domapo".

And now, I present to you ("இந்திய வலைக்காட்சிகளில் முதல் முறையாக...") - Lewis Carrol's Jabberwocky (can your browser handle that link?) translated to Tamil (he he, mostly தமிழாக்கம் rather than மொழிபெயர்ப்பு).

மாயங் காலம் வழுவழு நெளிகள்
மேய்வெளி யெங்கும் கூர்வளை தோண்ட
நாக்காய் யாவும் பொலபொலத் திருக்க
ஷோக்காய் குருளை சீட்டியும் அடித்தே

What's my point of view?

I stumbled on to this nice piece by Duncan, and a follow up by bbum, about taking a different point of view while photographing something. Made me dig up my photos to see how many of them employ a somewhat unusual line of sight. And I have to say there weren't many.

(Of course, it's somewhat of a thoughtlift from xkcd - it has that written all over it.)

What do I call these? Eggheads? Humpty Dumpty?

The good and bad thing about blogs is that I can blog irrespective of the crappiness quotient of what I blog. So here goes I, taking a bit of inspiration from the awesome xkcd and the sometimes funny Gearheads.

Tidy Tie Tying

Well, we had this concept of a Formal Friday sometime last May at TI. It was fun seeing well-pressed blazers on people who'd been seldom seen on anything better than only slightly tattered jeans. But as a light side-effect, this video tutorial on how-to-tie-a-tie happened. Meant for dummies. Turned out to be by a dummy too (due apologies to Varun).
