Dtek Industries

Dtekker's knowing Ian Ingram will be excited to know that he's got a big time show coming up at the Barry Friedman, Ltd gallery in Chelsea, with an opening on the evening of March 4.

hells yes, Ian! damn, it's an impressive testament to his talent, skills, and hard work over the years... if you live in NY, join me at the gallery on the 4th!

you can find Ian at Painting -> Contemporary if you can stomach the Flash site, or here are a few direct links:

i was psyched to hear today that corporations can now spend as much as they'd like on political campaigns.

the boy and i saw an incredible street musician on thursday at the 34th st station. the boy caught his name, thankfully: William Ruiz.

we had a bus to catch, otherwise we'd have stayed a long time and done a jig.

the video and tinny audio don't do him justice -- this guy wails.

if you live in NYC, look out for him.

happy birthday to the guy below. be sure to look closely at all of the various hair areas, and note the slightly open left eye.

no, i'm not hosting one, but the ads are great.

it's hilarious to see corporate behemoths stumble awkwardly into new marketing strategies, like the informal, conversational, social-networked un-ads of the youtube generation. (and here i am, passing on the viral video!)

holy hella congratulations to Just A Guy and his partner the Suze, on the birth of their not one, not two, but three new babies yesterday.

i know there aren't words to convey the emotion and sheer awesomeness of it all, so i'll just say love to all five of you from arh1 and the entire Dtek network.

it's coming up (almost exactly) on one year since i moved from Seattle to Brooklyn. much has changed for me, and i've got all sorts of new music coming in. but i'm just starting to rediscover one of the things about Seattle that will always stick with me...

i must emphasize again how spectacular Seattle-based KEXP is, and the awesomeness of DJ Riz in particular (though there are many other gems on show at the station...).

so i'm just getting my updates via email, but i gather that the murder of Dr. George Tiller is huge news.

more sickness from Those Who Know God.

fwiw, one of the emails i received had a good idea for taking action on this issue: donate to Medical Students for Choice. i just did, and i urge others to do the same.

i used to skateboard, but this is the stuff of my wildest dreams. actually, i do have dreams like this from time to time...

anyway, i think even the laymen out there can appreciate this.

i've been firing away on flickr lately.

i love these two shots that i got at one of my favorite spots yesterday, the Duane Reade on Flatbush ave -- brilliant ads, beautiful products, well-reflected:
