A New Endeavor...
I've recently found a fun lil way to waste time on my couch while still learning/feeling productive. What is this glorious, seemingly impossible find you might ask? Photoshop. There's something so deliciously fun and irritating about attempting to teach myself Photoshop that I just can't get enough of it. I've started with what I thought would be a good place to start- altering photos I've taken. Below I've posted my first 3 pics of the Chicago skyline that I altered.

Another Note...
The box.net files will be updated ASAP... It will be somewhat of a drastic change I will pre-warn. You'll be pleasantly surprised I think.
Get excited!

The 18th Coming...
So I obviously have been slagging for the past almost 6 months, but I've decided to try this whole blogging thing yet again... I've got motivation this time too- 3 words: Ultra Music Festival.
via www.ultramusicfestival.com
I will be in attendance for my first time this year at UMF 11 so I plan to come back to my snowy home after a rockin' week in Miami with a multitude of stories and pictures. We'll see how it all pans out, a girl can hope for the best!
In the meantime, here is a SICK new find from Neon Gold.

Hyper Crush at Lumen: 9/19/2008
The move and beginning of school caused a severe hiatus, but with the attendance of 3 awesome shows and a plethora of more to come I'm coming back!
To start, HYPER CRUSH came to Chicago!!! I could not express my excitement for this event enough and managed to gather a group to come with me to dance around to this LA-based group. In a festive spirit we drank fitting spirits: vodka and Crush. Cheesy? Absolutely! Delicious? Of course !
While I got the feeling that a lot of the crowd had not been blasting Hyper Crush in the several days leading up to their show at Lumen as I had been, the half that decided to step away from the bar and rock their free glow sticks with pride, all the while dancing like maniacs, had a great time! When the show culminated with 'The Arcade' I'm pretty sure I almost fell off of the table I was standing on several times. When dancing on elevated surfaces, one most remember to watch the edge... That aside, the group was super fun live and really friendly.
Here are pics I got with them:
"Preston makes the beat drop" ... with a keytar

Check out their web site for "The Arcade" video and gear. While I'm a little put off that Audrina on The Hills was rocking a Hyper Crush T-shirt in a more recent episode, I shouldn't hate on the fact that they're getting publicity...

"How Google Earth Helped Win A Gold Medal"
Techcrunch.com always has interesting posts, but I felt this one would be interesting for not only tech lovers (such as myself) but others who read my posts as well. Who's possibly tired of hearing about the Olympics and how America rocks? I know I'm not...

Red Bull Flugtag!
That's right! It's that time of year when many hopefuls pour their blood, sweat, and tears into a flying contraption in which to launch themselves off of a ramp into a body of water in the hopes of 'flying' the furthest. The body of water this year: Lake Michigan! I will definitely be hitting up North Ave. beach to watch people smash themselves up and down the lake for my own personal enjoyment.
The details are here.
Hopefully I'll be able to post some good pictures, or just pics of my happy debauchery from that pleasant Saturday afternoon...

The Dark Side of the Zodiac
While this link is old, it has just crossed my path thanks to a friend and is too funny not to share. Look past the harsh words and realize how often everyone hears the good things about their zodiac sign, never the dark side...
And if that doesn't make you feel better this excerpt from my dark side will:
"The scorpio darkside is darker than the rest, almost out of the dark into a whole other dimension, a kind of soul-sucking meta-dark, where suddenly the words "evil" and "mastermind" seem inadequate. There is no sin, depravity, perversion, cruelty, degradation or villainy they wouldn't consider."
It just gets better... Check 'em out! There's apparently a whole book delving into more detail, I definitely might buy it for my coffee table...
+> Cheers!

DJ Barletta and his "wom wom" sound
While I am in the midst of a music rut I decided to sift through blogs/Myspace/anything to find some new tracks and came across DJ Barletta. Blogs and music lovers are buzzing about his rmx of Lil Wayne's Lollipop so I checked it out. Had someone asked me 2 days ago if I thought anyone could revive the overplayed tune I would have said no, but Barletta proved me wrong. I'm taking Lil Wayne's track off the shelf for one more ride... but only if it's Barletta's rmx.
Some Chicagoland DJs better snatch this track up from him and play it in the city... I want to hear it while I'm out!
Check out his Myspace page where he labels his sound as "wom wom" and listen to some of his other mixes. I'm a fan of his Hi Top Fade Remix as well.

Harrah's +1
The Harrah's in Las Vegas now has 6 $10,000 touch screen tables that Microsoft made where users can order their own drink concoctions they make with a program, watch Youtube videos, play video games, and even take pictures and flirt with other tables!
I totally want to check this out... I would have way too much fun! If anyone sees these please report back!

Anti-Piracy Dog Passes On
I was definitely unaware of the fact that anti-piracy dogs existed (they sniff out pirated DVDs I guess...)
That aside, one of them passed away in Malaysia (poor ol' Manny was a gift from the Motion Picture Association of America and hadn't adjusted to his new home).
Even though there are bounties out on dogs like Manny who round up millions of dollars worth of counterfeit DVDs each year, "foul play is not thought to be responsible for Manny's demise." And just in case you thought you were confused, yes- I did say there are people willing to pay 10's of thousands of dollars to kill these poor dogs.

Technology + Luxury= Fabulous
The Gresso White Diamonds luxury mobile phone is an interesting piece of technology.

via Gizmag
While it is hard to see in the picture, each of the keys on the phone dons a diamond rendering the phone somewhere between $14,000 and $52,000! I know I enjoy fabulous things but if I'm getting a diamond encrusted phone I want something that pops a bit more. Maybe it's just another one of those items you have to see in person to really experience...

Dear Pierre Hardy, I love you!
This is why:
A) It sucks to have a real job and have to pay for your own things
and
B) I will use what little pay check I have to pay for shoes
These shoes are so funky and cute I can totally look past the fact that they aren't my normal 4 inch heel and buy these.
The only dilemma: Do I have enough money? I seem to think I do, and I guess that's all that really matters. You can't stand between a girl and a hot pair of shoes... it's just a universal constant we all need to accept.

Flippin' A!
I love the idea of a video recorder that is small and plugs right into my laptop via USB: Enter Flip Video. It's a small video recording device that caught my eye with a cute tag line "What will you see today?" While I do not see that much action in and around my neck of the woods, I am still considering this item for vacationing and capturing general summertime debauchery.
It runs on AA batteries (Up to 6.5 hours with "2 x AA Energizer® e2® batteries"), takes up to 60min of footage (assuming you purchase the 2G one), and can come in a darling white and bright pink combo... although black might be more tasteful... I'm not 12 anymore.
