The Wilderness Downtown
The latest HTML5 fueled Chrome Experiment from Google created by Chris Milk and featuring Arcade Fire’s “We Used to Wait.” Definitely the coolest thing you’ll see all day.

About a month ago a photo editor from Japanese magazine “Brain” contacted me on Flickr asking permission to use my photos from iPad launch day.
Yesterday I received a copy of the magazine in the mail and there’s my name, credited alongside a bunch of Japanese text! Can anyone translate for me?
Absolutely fantastic read on a paradigm shift in maturity, responsibility and the overall mindset of my generation. Sociologically speaking, us 20 somethings grew up far wealthier than our parents ever did with fewer responsibilities. There is a drive to succeed, and it can be argued that our unrestricted access to knowledge has made us even greater intellectuals than past generations, but the motivation isn’t quite there, and that could easily be an effect of the current job market.
Would love to hear others’ thoughts.
I am slowly striving to achieve a more minimalist lifestyle. I pre-ordered the new Kindle, not entirely because I believe that ebooks will soon replace hardcovers and paperbacks entirely, but simply because I do not have room for the library I’ve amassed.
Less is more these days.
