Trends In Japan: Bacarobo 2008 - Stupid Robot Competition (VIDEO) (Last Saturday was the the long-waited finals of Bacarobo 2008, the “Stupid Robot” championship that made a name for itself last year.)
PSFK: 'Thoughts On TED’s Expansion : Cash In, Ideas Out?' (Interesting TED semi-backlash, considering that the conference has been pretty much unassailable to date. Via Dan Hon.)
Digital Disruption: 'The incumbent’s solution: 90% transformation, 10% innovation' (The Guardian's Simon Waldman on how bricks and mortar companies need to innovate subtly to get anywhere digitally.)

Big Picture: '2008, the year in photographs (part 3 of 3)' (This blog is just amazing - here's the year's photo highlights, in three parts.)
Back Of The Cereal Box: 'Speaking of Postcards' (These Lost promo postcards are cute.)
ASCII: 'Undistilled Amazing' (Recommending 'Live From Daryl's House', which I also heard was v.smart.)

Flickr: Seoul, Korea, December 2008 (Ah yeah, I sneaked to Korea before Xmas for the Global Online Game Awards, and never even blogged about it. It was... interesting!)
Machtdose: 'Favourite netlabel albums 2008' (Looks like some good stuff - man, I'm tragically behind on netlabels.)
Monotonik Forum: 'Cleaning up Archive.org Monotonik archives!' (As part of an wholesale attempt to fix up my net.label Monotonik's slightly neglected website and Archives, I'm fixing up its Archive.org MP3 archives into some better shape. Which means lots of free music, of course.)

YouTube: AddictiveTV's channel (The cunning VJs behind the Transambient series get relatively little love on YouTube, boo.)

MST3K recommendation: 'Time Chasers' (I am obsessed with this MST3K parody involving time-traveling light aircraft and chimneysweeps who took over the future. Please watch the MST version immediately. No, really, now.)

Long Now lecture - 'Lost Landscapes of San Francisco' (Rick Prelinger's ephemeral films are always worth checking out.)

Noerror - netlabel news page gets redesign (Looks swankier now - still v.useful!)
December 01, 2008
Monotonik - new on my net.label, Beak's 'Hard Nights' (Creative Commons-licensed guitar-idm neatness, and I'm looking for redesign help with the Monotonik site, if anyone wants to help out.)
YouTube: The Prodigy's 'Invaders Must Die' (Wow, just as I was discussing them, a new Prodigy video from their promisingly oldskool-sounding new album.)
YouTube: Pendulum Live, Voodoo People Radio One (Aussie drum and bass superstars cover The Prodigy live and shred-metal, with some style. Great tune, of course.)
