"The Bridge gives you the ultimate mixtape creation tool. Perform your mix in Scratch Live or ITCH and save it as an automated Ableton Live Set. Play your mix rather than cut and paste in a DAW. Forget about having to start a mixtape from scratch because of a mistake at minute fifty-nine. Each song is recorded and laid out on a track in Live separately, and any moves you’ve made with your hardware are recorded along with the track."

THE BRIDGE Part one of the Serato / Ableton Partnership.

Man Soo psyched about this. Def what I have been waiting for. Should not only speed up the mixtape creation process, but also make it much more fun and creative.

"My personal 35-year long software odyssey has made abundantly clear to me that the task of satisfying the user can only be achieved by fully integrating both the development and the interaction design practitioners into a single, self-organizing, self-directed team."

Great concept video on the future of digital magazines by BERG London. I loved the “rub the content to heat it up” interaction. Radial menus seem to be popping up quite a bit. The other video by BERG about visualizing RFID is also well worth checking out. (via Kicker)

"News publishers have to stop seeking simply the most controversial opinions. They’re abundant: every talking head can churn one out, and faux “news” of every kind is already chock full of ‘em shrieking at one another. Instead, successful opinion arbitrageurs must seek the most informed opinions, gooey with expertise, thick with real value for readers."

Nice Nudie hat

I love how snarky and abusive the selectism staff can get about trends. Funny shit…

“We’re growing increasingly infatuated with hats around here. Ever since the hat look has died down for every wannabe indie boy, we’ve been willing to give hats a second look (stonewash denim jackets and tight black jeans are the new porkpie, in case you’re wondering). Now we have the slightly indie-ish Nudie releasing this rather fetching hat for SS10. Now you’ve seen the new look, wear it right: none of this hanging it off your head business.”

Just wait for the 1960s…
