Galileo gone, after 14 years. Operators told it to take a nose dive into the closest planet. ++++

Check out the galleries of photos from the explorer while it was up an running (yeah, in the sidebar there).

Tim Devin likes the way the streets are getting fixed.

“in my peaceful moods, I stop and admire the patches’ beauty. The loops and waves and erratic shapes. The way they fade out, or stop abruptly. Sometimes they remind me of graffiti, or Arabic, or maybe some language from the Horsehead Nebula, transmitted only to road-workers, and only in their sleep”

He brings us the Street-Patch-Job Documentation Project. ++++

my friend just finished a new site for a photographer. flash stuff, very low key. a lot happening in the backend for those who care. nice images of aforementioned off road/cross country action in the portfolio. ####

also, another friend is having a show at Providence College tonight. her recent work is instruments with body parts integrated into them. should be a good time. no photos as of yet.

Ethan has TIVO, but I don’t know if it has come to this for him too yet. It is, however, always there to greet you when you walk in the door. ++++

I love old arcade cabinets – I had seen this page quite a while ago, and then lost its URL, thanks to K10K for posting it again. Marker rendering rule!Atari Industrial Design

Micheal De Siun, aka The Shoe, read through the Luxury project posted over yonder, and came back at me with a link to This. Nice one.

By the way, stop buying CD’s from record companies – go discover an unsigned band and buy from them. Make your own music, what ever, just send a message to the record companies to fuck the hell off. ++++

Along these lines, we are pondering making a Rise Industries music collection CD to distribute through the site. If you would be interested in getting a couple of tracks on it, drop us a line. Ethan, sound good to you?
