late for spring cleaning

October 07th, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve cleaned up subscriptions in sharpreader. 20 or so feeds appeared to be dead so those went out the window, a few more needed some attention because URIs changed etc. and I’ve added some new ones.
Among them is one I’ve also added to the blogroll in the upper right corner of this blog- The Late Greats, self described as “the home of greatest songs never heard”. I tend to agree most of the time. The posting frequency is far too big for me to keep up but I’ve found some great songs through it already. Awesome, goes down well with The Hype Machine…

I’ll also point out APhotoEditor. An anonimous insider with some interesting things to say on the business of photography. A slightly more philosophic and academic twist to photography comes from Conscientious. One could say the familiar words of Mike Johnston et al of The Online Photographer fall somewhere between these two so you’re nicely covered from all angles. That is if your interest in photography extends beyond gear talk and pixel peeping.

That’s it for now. No, you don’t get to find out how many feeds I subscribe to ;)

Gospodarji časa, Masters of Time

I never imagined myself getting involved in a balet production but somehow it happened. Prior to working on Gospodarji časa (masters of time) as subtitlist (is there a better word for it?) for Demitrius King, I’ve probably seen about 1min worth of balet dancing in my entire life.

Yes there was a hint (or slightly more) ;) of prejudice on my part and, to tell you the truth, it all still looks a bit silly to me. But that said, I have nothing but respect and admiration for everyone involved.

It ain’t easy.

as Dimi used to say ;)

I accepted this project simply because I thougth it might be fun to try something completely different. The kind of unique experience that no matter how bad or unbearable it turns out to be, I’d still learn something useful. A challenge. And I love challenges.

It turned out suprisingly good though. I won’t judge dancing performances as I have no real refference to judge them against. Plus I was looking at a tiny monitor during a large part of the show anyway ;) What really left an impression was the behind the scenes action. Glimpses, moments… hopefuly I caught some of them. That’s something the audience will never see but it can be much more enjoyable that the actual show. ;)

It’s been fun. Thanks.
