Sometimes it seems like nothing at all has changed in the 25+ years since I was 6 years old...

One day, My six year old son, Lucas heard me playing one of their (Adult.'s) songs. "What is that?!" he asked excitedly "It sounds like robots!!!" A few seconds later, three year old son, Nolan came in to hear what his big brother was all beside himself about. "Robots?" he charges in the room asking. Again at the at the top of his lungs he belts "ROBOTS?!"

I could hang out with this kid all day long. Read 6 year old Lucas' brilliant interview with Adult. here.

More than just nostalgia, Atarti's Adventure was a darn fine game. Now you can play it online.

Word on the street is that Ladytron is close to releasing their new album 'Light& Magic'. If you're in the UK, you can hear them play on the Boutique Stages at the upcoming Reading Festival on Friday, August 23rd at 4.50 p.m., or at Leeds Festival on Saturday, August 24th at 4.20 p.m.

So I’ve taken the plunge and purchased the new Apple PowerMac. It arrived last Friday and despite rumors and conspiracy theories that the new PowerMacs are nothing more than a fancied-up, redressed Quicksilver boxes (since when did the Quicksilver models become the pariahs of the Mac world?) , I’m satisfied with it’s overall performance, especially considering I only have 256MB of RAM at the moment. It doesn’t seem overwhelmingly faster than my dual 450 MHz box I use at work, but then again, I’ve always been impressed with the sheer muscle and performance of that machine (especially considering it’s nearly 2 years old). Right now I’m knee deep in digitizing my entire music collection using iTunes 3 (1861 songs, and 10.67GB so far) so I can really take advantage of the Slim Devices controller I purchased a few months back. I’ve been testing it and the Slim Server running under OS X and I have to tell you, it’s beyond sweeeet. I’m gleefully looking forward to having every song I’ve ever loved at my fingertips.

Dasboot.org is an interesting collection of art, architecture and design with a rather annoying penchant for irritating sound effects.
