Widescreen

Why has everything gone widescreen?. My global market sense tells me its related to entertainment product. perhaps theres a whole trend to getting wide rather than tall or square format images. in printers theres still the ubiquitous A4 but the PC screen is now trendily wide.

identity on the web

Shouldnt i remove my identity from the internet?
Got a phone call from someone who found my CV on Google. Rang to see if i was interested in Contract. The CV is my market stall, so the caller is welcome. Some sites i use however do keep my identity and contact number well out of sight.
I've no real worries about my real name being found. I will use a alias like sievpeople because it gives some branding away from the corporate me. Im still not a twitterer or facebook tag, so no need to pass round a list of friends of sievpeople or other social network links. if they do get set up they are there for occasional use.
came across this article about the different types of blogs today -
http://blogs/telegraph.co.uk and look up Dan Monsieurle

and about Tumblr which i might try next

new things im listening to today

got an eemail today about London Jazz concerts - wondered whats on next week. my eye caught by the serious website andy shepherd playing with a norwegian guitarist called eivind aarset. from there to the wikipedia norwegian guitarists page with terje rypdal. So from there to the extraordinary Esjborn Svennson trio and the album leucocyte. got it on the ipod so...headphones on..
Includes
One track of just over a minutes silence - very strange on the i-pod - reminding me to make more time for silence.. and dont random play this stuff.

later exploring a new postrock band was called i think 1099 found from prog archives

And anotherr thing

Iconoclast from Tarkus -

in London today - as usual faced with endless free newspapers and their obsession with celebrity. Can i really criticise their view of the world?

managed to connect to internet at work - first stop was Chelsea Flowere show from there to the daily telegraph site, from there to technology page and from the to new download tool called dropbox - free internet storage in the cloud

from there it went even more sideways - into the wikipedia site which gave me a random link to a book by arthur c clarke called Firstborn and from there to new physics page called Big Rip.
just a cheery thought that mathematicaly the universe will end in 50 billion years
plenty of time for a few more blog posts then
