Sync any (almost) phone with your music, videos, photos, podcasts. Finally.

doubleTwist is a good-looking software package that can manage your media (music, photos, video, podcasts) so that it can be accessed by your mobile device (Android, Palm, BlackBerry, etc). If someone wants the media skills of an iPod with the flexibility of an open platform, this might be the killer app.

As I look to transition from my BlackBerry to likely an Android-based phone, this might be just what I need.

William Kentridge at the Museum of Modern Art - worth seeing

via moma.org

I just went to the Museum of Modern Art on a 10th grade studio art show. We were there to see the work of William Kentridge, a South African Artist. I won't do justice with an explanation, so I encourage you to check out their web version of the exhibition and of course, the real thing at the museum.

It is some of the most incredible drawing I have ever seen, and combined into a film medium with stop-motion animation that will blow your mind. The technical complexity was beyond comprehension, and the splicing of imagery, sound, film techniques, drawing, and more are simply sublime.

Because one of our teachers is a "Modern Educator," we were able to go on a day where the museum is normally closed to the public, and I even got a free pass to go anytime through September 2010. Sweet! Now, to wait on line when the museum is open to the public, argh.

House season finale filmed entirely with Canon 5D Mark II

via petapixel.com

This is incredible. The season finale to the popular show "House" on Fox was filmed entirely on an SLR camera - this camera was designed mainly to be a professional still camera, but the addition of HD video has clearly allowed much else to happen. For a broadcast quality television show to use it just blows my mind. I can't wait to see if I notice the different look and feel.

Really incredible developments in camera technology...
