Combine this girl…

Combine her with a dash of Zooey and Scarlett and you may have something so powerful that your heart turns into a black hole.

Buckminster was the future.

Buckminster was ahead of his time in too many ways to mention. I feel like he never was given the credit he deserved. He’s changed who I am and how I do everything in every way.

Recently, I lent a friend an old out of print Buckminster book. His reaction was, “it messed me up for like three days, but then I saw the world completely differently – that guy was amazing.”

“Noël Jackson Gets Dangerous”

noel — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:28:44 +0000

If you weren’t aware of it, I spend a large part of my free time playing with music – it’s an addiction that runs deep. One of those things is “mastering,” otherwise known as the “magic,” that happens between creating the music and putting it on a CD. I use a lot of really great equipment, but especially love Dangerous Music’s equipment – because it really is untouchable, sonically superior, and just plain amazing equipment.

MIX thought I had a pretty interesting setup, so they did a little piece on me and my infatuation with Dangerous:

Noël Jackson began getting into music and recording and then moved into mastering when he realized just how good music could sound. Jackson recalls when he was a teenager growing up, “Instead of watching TV, I listened to records.” And listening on a great system inspired Jackson. “That’s how I got into mastering and what I love about it.” Jackson’s studio is filled with handpicked gear from many of the top names, including Dangerous Music.

Why you should be distributed…

Toni, the CEO of Automattic (and the company I love to call home), lays out a few reasons why you should run a distributed company. I really couldn’t agree more. But here’s the best part:

… I know that the distributed model feels very strange to business people who are used to the traditional, centralized way of running a company. But I’m here to tell you that it works. It might even work a lot better than the traditional model for certain types of businesses…

I miss the old net.

I miss the Internet. The one where it was cool to have a “guestbook,” and animated gifs. Also, I miss it when people would say, “double U double U double U dot…”
