ATR are an explicitly anarchist band; the digital faces and office riot are directly inspired by the Situationists. Guy Debord’s “Society of Spectacle” and Raoul Veneigem’s “Revolution of Everyday Life” say capitalist work dehumanizes the individual - this vid is a direct representation of that process.

Jerk - Stucked In

Live!

Posted on May 26th, 2008 in life | No Comments »

Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.“

Aphex Twin

If there’s any producer in electronic music that you must listen to at least once in your life, it is Aphex Twin. His releases aren’t really trying to accomplish anything - like entrance or uplift - rather, it’s simply good music to listen to and enjoy. His music is skilfully produced, with no filler, just pure rhythmic and melodic flow throughout. His appeal is to listeners of all types of music, because anyone can enjoy it. In many regards it is like classical because its designed elaborately and neutrally, and everyone can appreciate it.

AutoCopy

AutoCopy instructs Firefox to copy text when it’s highlighted. Very helpful when copying content from a customer’s old site into their new one.

ColorZilla

ColorZilla lets me place my cursor over anything on the page and it gives me the hex color of the pixel. It’s a huge time saver as it allows me the ability to avoid doing a print-screen, opening Photoshop, and using the Photoshop color dropper to get the color.

Firebug

Firebug is an absolute must for my Ajax / Javascript debugging. I couldn’t get by without it.

HTML Validator

HTML Validator just validates how great my code is.

Link Alert

Link Alert changes my cursor when I hover over a link. The cursor changes to a visual representation of what I’m about to click on. It’s great for me because it tells me if the link is to a javascript file, text file, or mp3 file. I love it. It also tells me if clicking on a link triggers a javascript event.

MeasureIt

MeasureIt gives me a ruler to mention object dimensions. This tool gives me a broad idea over how much space an object is taking up or how much space I have left to work with on my page.

Server Spy

Server Spy is dominant because I can instantly tell what type of server the current website is on. A must when trying to quote a new project.

Web Developer Toolbar

The WDT is as important to me as Firebug. WDT gives me a ton of control and information about the page I’m developing. Again, this is a must.

Isn’t it ironic?
