Tartan Day - NYC

I was so excited to stumble upon Tartan Day two weekends ago! So much Scottish pride here :)

First Post in a Year!

Ciao interwebs! Can't believe its been so long, and that so many of you have stuck around. Thanks for all the notes! I have a new goal to update Tyranny every other day at the very least. To start it out, please view this AMAZING video on night photography. Enjoy!

The Defibulators

Hi folks!! Haven't updated in months, but I saw this band at Union Hall last night and needed to share.

Beautiful acoustic sessions and even harder, foot-stopping fun in person.

Off to Austin & SxSW

On my last day in NYC before heading to Austin, I was sent the following video, which reminds me of how tiny we all are in this huge city.

The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo.

It's beautiful and amusing, with all of its tilt-shift fun. Reminds me of a Richard Scary Book, where you get to look into a factory of how bread is made :)

I love this city and continually get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside of me whenever I think of Brooklyn and my home, but I'm excited to get away for a few days.

I mean, it's SxSW! Who wouldn't be excited?! :)

The Photography Post : A New Photo Aggregation Site

Hey fellow art-lovers and trollers of the interwebs; Do I have a treat for you! Launched not but 2 days ago, The Photography Post is a pretty amazing little site that brings users all of the latest and most interesting photographic projects from across the internet onto one site! TPP doesn't discriminate between solid new source or causal side blog; all they are looking to do it find the pulse of photography on the world wide wed. It's REALLY cool. So far it's turned me on to a ton of interesting sites I had no idea existed before, like Ads of the World, which showcases some of the weirdest and most visually striking ads that we in America would never get to see.

Thanks, internet!

[video] Love Language - Sparxx @Lauromatinee

I lost all of my bookmarks for about 2 months (poor crashed computer) but have sudden been able to recover them!! Yay!! This lead me to a lot undiscovered, great music content that smaller sites have posted over those 2 months. Hence, this video!

Makes me says, "keeeewl!" Especially since I haven't listened to the Love Language in ages.

Inaugural 13.1 New York Race -- April 3, 2010

I have a new race on the horizon, and this time it's in Queens! I'm thinking I should make it a goal to run a half in every borough, and then run the NYC Marathon afterwards Talk about seeing the sites; and I'll most probably never want to run in NYC again after it, ha.

Part of the national 13.1 race series (which has already established races in Fort Launderdale, LA, Chicago and Boston), this half-marathon is the first of its kind, looping through Flushing Meadows Park and around it's many fountains, stadiums and the always visually stimulating Unisphere.

Here's the course map:

They claim that there is a party associated with this race, though no details have been posted yet. I'm looking forward to it!
