This one's for the kids in the crowd who don't inhale the internet with every breath. They exist, I guess?
This may not appear to be much at first glance, but check out the tech video to get an idea of what's happening behind the scenes. When that video first made the rounds, the tech seemed too good to be true, but hey, here it is in a flash wrapper for all to play with! Not tremendously useful in practice, the deformation is pretty noticeable for large resizings, but still very neat. Hope these guys end up with a lot of money.
Out of nowhere, Radiohead's guitarist pops up and tells the world they'll be releasing an album next week. That'd be pretty nuts by itself, but it seems the madness goes even further. They'll initially be releasing the mp3 version of the album from their own servers for whatever price you feel like paying. Guh?! Looks like one of the biggest bands around finally put their "music needs to be free" rhetoric to practice. Those are some mighty big balls. Awesome to see them try something this neat immediately after finishing their contract with Parlophone, assumedly what they're trying is about as indie as it can get.
IRO's doing a group buy, which means you can get a brand new singlespeed frame + fork for about 50% off the already pretty cheap price, and from what I hear, the bikes are verified as "worth a damn". I'm planning on picking one up to finally fufill my urge to build a bike from the ground up. If this sounds like something you'd like as well, jump quick, he'll stop taking reservations on October 5th.
