This year, Hype Machine published the Top 50 Artists of 2011 as an illustrated map created by Nicholas Gurewitch! Also I’ve been meaning to mention how amazing this year’s Top Songs Remixes are. Little Dragon, The White Panda, Jensen Sportag, The Go! Team, OFWGKTA and RAC all contributed brand new, freely downloadable mixes!

Nap Eyes - Every Game Is A Game Of Stalemate

And Dan’s beautiful blog entry to accompany…

Edmund wore 41 like a bicycle helmet on grey hair, like a backpack on a suit jacket, he wore it like sneakers at the bank. He had thick brown hair, in a coif atop his head, he wore the cheap version of men’s magazine clothing. He looked like Bobby Fischer, but less….read more

I can’t get enough of this song!!

And actually, I think that’s pretty much what’s happened to everyone who’s ever tried it. It feels noble at first, but pretty quickly you realize radical honesty is just greedy.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve made this mistake of trying this and hurt people. The people who have (recently) tried this on me have hurt me incredibly.

Don’t know if you’ve seen my kid yet (ha) but he is pretty awesome. To translate, he is saying polar bears eat snowmen, and that he is a fairy in the jungle. :) 

Note to everyone with a kid: your photos suck, please look at littlebabyblog.tumblr.com for inspiration on how you should be documenting your kid growing up.

Things Organized Nicely. <meta>It’s interesting how, for me, Tumblr was originally appealing because it made it so simple to post things. Now I feel like the bar has been dropped lower somehow and I use Instagram to publish daily photos and Tumblr for more significant posts and my best/favorite photos. I still love Tumblr just the same, I just have more respect for my Tumblr feed contents than I do with Instagram. Still trying to decide what’s best.</meta>

Apps I’m obsessed with

kaitlynreed:

So there are only a handful of apps I’m completely obsessed with. 

The first is Daytum. You can track anything and everything your little heart desires. I’m tracking things like new meals I’ve cooked & books I’ve read this year. The app syncs to the website allows you to make beautiful graphs like these. 

Second is The Eatery. Another tracking app that allows you to take pictures of your meals and a collective community rates how healthy your meal is. Each week you get a review of your food. I believe it’s changed the way I eat. A need for a healthy score has increased my vegetable intake. 

Third app is an obvious one: Instagram. Add me @kaitlynreed

I still think about seeing these guys perform back in 2006 Athens Pop Fest.

The Only Way To Get An Alphabetical List Of Your Facebook Friends

Facebook Settings -> “Download a copy of your Facebook data.” -> Wait 5 minutes for a link to be emailed to you.

Why isn’t this possible in Facebook.com? Somebody should build a web service for this so I don’t have to download everything just to see a 100k text list.
