Tidbit: Inside Out Project

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:52:42 -0500

Pace yourself for this project: INSIDE OUT.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. Exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually. It’s quite simple: Upload. Receive. Paste.

Top 5 Thursday: 2012 Top Spots

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:30:17 -0500

I’ve been getting this question a lot lately, so lets set the record straight. This year, it’s all about the new — the new places I hope to get to, the new spaces I hope to roam, and the new faces I hope to face. I went to Spain, and went back twice; I went to Coachella, and booked for three more years. Let’s au courant 2012…

Iceland.
So I can roam around with crampons and ride out on ice mobiles…
Iceland may be infamous for its overzealous volcanoes, but as an adventure playground and place to witness some of nature’s most impressive wonders, it’s unrivaled. Let’s Northern Lights it.

Vieques.
Because it’s an island on the brink… and there’s nothing better than pre-brink boys, I mean beaches, I mean boys. And I Patricia Urquiola’s interiors for the recently opened W Hotels Retreat & Spa on Vieques Island, located off the southeast coast of Puerto Rico, don’t lie.

Calvi.
Been to Ibiza, done Mykonos…
Corsica’s duality is peaking my interest. Dance on the rocks by night at Calvi’s unknown(let’s keep it that way) electro-fest, and climb on the rocks by day at Roccapina beach.

Vietnam.
Because Ho Chi Minh city just doesn’t cut it…
Explore Con Dao’s signature limestone cliffs and private salt water pools in one of Vietnams most sexy, serene and secret spots.

Tomorrowland.
Because at some point, I might be getting too old for this ish. Ok, that’s a lie.
Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Alesso and a fairy-tale like festival in the heart of Europe.

Q&A: Why Vote for Me for Shorty Award...

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:04:00 -0500

It’s no secret that I don’t take my tweets too seriously, but it is something I am proud of. As a self-inflicted social-media-ite, it’s a honor to be nominated for a Shorty Award in Travel. Here are some reasons why you should vote, or not vote for me, after all, it’s all about democracy. Go…

What’s your best tweet?
A nude photo of me… just kidding (or am I?)

What are six things you could never do without?
Planes. Trains. Automobiles. Bicycles. Boats. Hovercraft.

Why’d you start tweeting?
I couldn’t keep all these travels to myself.

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes… Because I have over five thousand, awesome, smart, witty, brilliant, welcoming, supportive, hilarious, terse new friends.

What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Be themselves. You’re weird, and that’s cool. Go with it.

How will the world change in the next year?
Offline is the new online.

What feature should Twitter add?
I’d like them to hire me before I answer this question…

Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn’t?
My grandma. She rocks an iPad though.

What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
Because. Oh and also, circumbilivagination.

Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn’t already? If so, who?
Tyler Brûlé. Hey you.

What inspires you to tweet?
Sharing the world with the world.

140 characters of advice for a new user?
Just tweet it.

Why should people follow you?
I make fun of myself all of the time… oh, and the nude pictures, duh. Also, I love what I do, and I hope that passion is contagious.

Why should we vote for you?
I chill in tents in Pakistan, dance on tables in Ibiza, hike badass Volcanoes, sleep in the Amazon, pray in India. Then I tell you about it.

Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#Brilldotcom

Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#Brilldotcom… stemming from the latin word, Brilliant.

How do you make your tweets unique?

It will become a business. Let’s hope.

Deepak Chopra… or Xeni Jardin

Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
Dos Equis Man. I love you.

What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?

@Austyntatiouss - irreverent photographer (also my sister); @ArthurWeiner - modern day Socrates (also, my father); @AmandaWeiner - Fashion Editor and modern day Hepburn (also, my sister).

The Cosmic Opera Low-Down.

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:20:00 -0500

Sometimes the stars align…
For some mystic-hungry Manhattanites, the sky is bright with the light of the much anticipated, uber-mysterious Cosmic Opera slated to steal the show at Hammerstein Ballroom this winter. Here’s what we know...

Cosmic Opera is an intimate, extrasensory dance event series combining the cast and high-value production of a renaissance or opera spectacle with an over-the-top dance music concert… If Cirque du Soleil and The Box had a baby at Sensation White…

The Cosmic Opera series will open in New York City this winter, once a month, for three months in a row but the plan is to take this bad boy on tour.

It’s no mystery that the man behind the mask is Axwell himself, but what’s unique about Cosmic Opera, is the loaded talent roster that goes far beyond the booth. The production is packed with power players like Peter Witting, pro-surfer/skiier, producer extraordinaire. Guy Smith, Ageha Tokyo and the Box designer, John Finen, oh and a former aerospace engineer.

Today’s presale sold out in record time. For those who think they got 8 tickets, think again… the producers play fair and put a cap on it.

While some hundred tickets were available today, tomorrow’s Ticketmaster sale will be in the thousands (you didn’t hear it from me)

This rave-generation, rules the nation…

Top 5 Thursday: CES, More Like SEX.

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:57:00 -0500

This week, in things I could get d.o.w.n with… The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas had no shortage of go-get-em gadgets, despite a slow down in sales over the past year. One thing is for sure, techies have been a dreamin! Top 5 new tech toys…

Fujifilm X-Pro 1.
Fujifilm’s X-Pro1 mirrorless ILC (interchangeable lens camera). A unique sensor with colour filters over the pixels and the three interchangeable lenses: an 18mm f2, a 35mm f1.4 and a 60mm f2.4 (28mm, 50mm and 90mm). Click it.

OLED TV by LG.
4mm thick, virtually bezel-less. Organic light-emitting diode television. Light as a feather, stiff as a screen.

Chaotic Moon Labs’ Board of Awesomeness.
Motorized longboard controlled by a combination of Kinect and a Samsung Windows 8 tablet. It uses video, voice, gestures, accelerometers, and localization data to anticipate the rider’s intentions and accelerate or slow down. 32 mph. Ride Out.

The EXODesk by EXOPC.
40-inch touchscreen display that rests flat on the surface of your desk, and hooks up to your Windows or Mac computer. Interact with your computer or let it standalone. Like a keyboard, or chess board or well… it’s up to you, two.

MakerBot.
MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer. 2 colors. 3D printing. Legit.

Travel Tuesday: Los Angeles Villa
You may not be a real-life star, but while you’re staying at L.A. Villa, you’ll definitely feel like an A-lister. It’s not uncommon to get stuck behind a “Star Tours” van as you wind your way up to this 4,000-square-foot manse in the heart of Beverly Hills; after all, this is prime celebrity real estate (Sylvester Stallone and David and Victoria Beckham live nearby).
