> If you were a Google Reader user, then this article will help clarify why Google ditched it, but it and an article that the author links to also made me feel a little sad for where the interweb is headed under Google & Facebooks direction. My impression is these uber virtual entities aspire to be a one stop shop, and they are aiming to achieve that goal by slowly eliminating the most attractive attribute of the inter web: “We get a generation of entrepreneurs encouraged to make more narrow-minded, web-hostile products like these because it continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy, instead of letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves on top of the web itself.”
FCUK THEM!

Have to confess I often think about how a landscape would sound, if its outline was a waveform. Is that a form of synaesthesia or just too much time spent messing with waveforms? eg Lake Heron
> Interesting philosophical read, which applies as much to field recording as it does to photography and film: if you extrapolate google glass, what would the ramifications be if you could be in record 100% of the time? Streaming everything you hear to some cloud storage, for later use? On the Constant Moment

Duke Ellington is attributed with the line “I don’t need time, I need a deadline” and it leads me to think that losing the decisive moment could be a nightmare.
Many times I give up editing (text/sound/pics) and start from scratch because it’s easier than trying to get an okay result from preliminary ideas.
I like the idea of how a landscape would sound. That pic reminds of Kate Bush’s Aerial artwork.
