Hyper-envelope (or: putting too many links into one posting)

There’s not very much going on here on the precious weblog these days. That’s great, there are so many other cool things to read and buy out there. Consider it like that: by not posting much, we’re providing you a fraction of focus for free!

Although this weblog has many more authors, I can only reliably update you on Johannes, Phil and me. We’re still working on the record artwork as well as online and offline marketing activities for Kapitulation, the new record of Hamburg based band Tocotronic – go and check out the teaser website or listen to the first single on myspace. Additionally, we’re developing a new band website for Tocotronic and there are some new and exciting projects in the making for Native Instruments. Lust but not least, I’m currently doing a workshop called Electronic Music Interface at the Berliner Technische Kunsthochschule.

To sweeten the waiting time for our copies of Adobe CS3, I just found out that Transmit, one of my favorite Mac OS X applications, got a sibling called Coda (tag line: “grow beautiful web code”). I have not checked it out in detail yet, but the concept sounds promising and the user interface has many nice details. For example the automatically generated thumbnails for saved sites (see image on the left). I also think the product promotion website feels very appetizing. If you’re now thinking “oh shit, another tiny app among too many other ones”, I can only recommend to get a copy of Yojimbo, another tiny app among too many other ones; it helps you to keep track of all your serial numbers and passwords. At least.

Oh wait, one more thing! we’re going to speak at the Typo 2007 design conference in Berlin on Friday, May 18th, 8.00 pm (20:00 Uhr) at the so called “TYPOshow” venue. Come and join us, if you’re over there. We’re going to talk a bit about precious, show some projects and possibly let you know what the Nintendo Wii Remote has to do with making music. It’s also a good chance for meeting people you like – we’re especially looking forward to meet Mario Lombardo and the Human Empire guys again. And you.
