adrian is rad

A friend of mine (Leo) set up a site a called runthere.com. It’s a pretty neat thing he’s set up. You can plug in a route that you run (or walk, or bike, or whatever) and it’ll tell you how long it is.

It’s based on the Google map API which they apparently released, which is pretty cool.

My walk to work this morning was 1.82 miles.

I confirmed today that John Vanderslice will be playing on my radio show in the 8am hour on August 25th, 2005. I’m really excited.

In the meantime check out this track from his new album, Pixel Revolt, coming out August 23rd.

Trance Manual – John Vanderslice

There is this part about 2/3 the way through where there’s this awesome plucked string part that adds to the hand bell part and then another string part on top of it.

Here’s a list:

• Start my Pentax K1000/ Canon A40 self-made all-manual digital SLR
• get a haircut
• Sell 2-4 Wurlitzer electric pianos
• order shirts for, make silk-screen for, silk-screen “Adrian is rad”* shirts**
• have a blast with jon werberg while he’s out here
• ask landlady about painting my room, pick colors, buy paint
• try to find a firmer bed, a smaller desk, a dresser
• learn php, get a start on internal online ticket giveaway system for KZSU

*The shirt came first, the blog with the same name second. I made it with iron on red letters a white shirt with blue ringers; the ones I’m going to make are basically the same except they’ll be silk-screened.

**Let me know if you want one (and your size). I don’t think I’m going to be able to swallow the cost on them so they’d be $8-$10 or whatever they cost me. I’ll see if I can get a picture of the original up soon.
