Day three of my town adventure
Posted by Ben Nolan Thu, 08 May 2008 04:12:00 GMT
Phew-err. Not sure how much longer I can handle the excitement of the big smoke. I'm feeling the call of the low key beach town again. Plus I'm running out of clean clothes. Hahaha ;)
I'll be in welly until saturday probably - have to meet up with a friend tomorrow avo.

That was awesome. Went to the gig last night. Was fucking rad. Was a bit loud and the bodega sound system sucked - but the band were awesome and the crowd fucking ruled. Maybe 200 people? About 50 in the moshpit. Crowdsurfing and yeah it was rad.
I got surfed onto the bassist and knocked over some stuff - then dived back into the crowd - it was all awesome. :)
Best live band.

Goal in your websites

Is to have no UI - to people not notice that they're using the site - they're just finding information and talking to people.

Information wants...

I didn't know that the full quote was this...
"Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. ... That tension will not go away."
My muxtape
Posted by Ben Nolan Sun, 04 May 2008 09:16:00 GMT
I've been spending the evenings writing songs (or chords - if you want to be specific). I've started uploading them to muxtape.
Nothing is an old song I wrote in san francisco. Mary is a song that I wrote yesterday.
I might re-record these over time to get better cleaner versions - but I thought I'd share with my friends what I love after the sun has set.

Spent 2 days on the road with dad. Went to taupo - had a hot swim (40' awesome). Went to napier - went for a walk on the beach - had dinner (john dori) and drinks (drambuie?) and had a great talk with my old man. Off to palmerston north to see my sister and mum and chill out drinking Tee.
Now back home - playing guitar - drinking pfefferminz tee und thinking about cooking another curry (or roast garlic). Mmmm domesticity in homeland new zealand. :)
