Zombie Updates and Tron Results

-
This bit o' RoadNews is gonna be a bit different, as I wanted to update everyone on how far Miss Tuesday Cain's "Zombie Haiku" has spread, as well as send thanks and updates to everyone who voted in the Daft Punk Remix Contest. Let's talk zombie...

It's been months since Miss Tuesday Cain first got into trouble at school for turning in her "Zombie Haiku" as homework. What's changed? Gaea Qandromeda, who first turned me onto Tuesday's poem, has written her own tribute article explaining how all this happened. It's a fun and insightful diatribe that shouldn't be missed. Check it: Tribute Post: "Zombie Haiku" by Miss Tuesday Cain. Also, Ryan Mecum, the author of the book "Zombie Haiku", has supported Tuesday... going so far as comparing her to Stephen King. Thank you Ryan! You're a rock star... in that lurching "please don't bite me" kinda way. One of the better discussion threads about the haiku was lead by Ziki [Here on deviantART].

Ever so slowly (rather zombie-like), the haiku is still spreading. The name Miss Tuesday Cain has certainly become a fixture on Google. If you'd like to help spread Tuesday's poem and story even farther, then read the original entry. Be sure to leave a link in the comments if you spread her story online. Afterall, we need to track the spread of the virus.

Now, let's talk Punk... Daft Punk. I posted a request back in May asking peeps to help vote on my remix in Disney's "Tron: Legacy" competition. It was easily the most difficult competition I've ever been a part of. Frakking THANK YOU to everyone who voted!!!! And how'd it turn out? Out of 891 remixes, my remix finished at #11 in the world. Thank you! For anyone who missed it, it's up for free download (along with the rest of my music) [Here on SoundCloud].

Have no idea what's going on? Here's some shinies to look at. Ooh, look! Shiny!

Voyage Dallas Magazine - Meet Jaya Prime, on Fractal Art, on VanLife, on Travels

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jaya Prime. Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours? How does a hitchhiker of more than a decade end up as an international fractal designer who now appears on many books covers and music albums? I tell you what: I didn’t start off in this direction. I started as a music orchestrator and producer, making and mixing music between cities as I traveled from state to state, then from country to country. It was until a childhood tumor eventually caught up with me that I started to lose my hearing. Facing a hard wall such as this, I fell back on the illuminated art forms that I had been studying since when I was a pup. The above is merely an excerpt from the full interview.

The Cave Hostels of Cappadocia, Turkey

Photo by Cindy Dam Squats - The Cave Hostels of Cappadocia, Turkey : There was a moment during last week's #TNI that caused me to do a double-take. The question was: "[What is the most] Ground-breaking hotel or hostel? Why?". The answer that caught my eye was from @LindsayTessis : "Loved the hostels in Cappadocia, Turkey - they're all built in caves! I mean, who doesn't want to sleep in a cave at least once?" I'm sorry, did she just say "cave hostel"? Now, I've stayed in caves before. Spain, America, Mexico... you got it. Love 'em. But an actual hostel built into a cave? I immediately checked into these magical little grottoes for travelers in more detail. After all, some places just throw around the word "hostel" without knowing what it actually means. Then I started seeing cave hostels popping up with things like "free internet" and "breakfast included" and I was sold. These. Caves. Are. AWESOME!

Philly Deathgreeter

"Philly Deathgreeter" by Kantiki Packing and getting ready for Burning Man. You'd think I'd be better prepped for my sixth year in the desert... and you'd be wrong. This statue in Philly always reminded me of the playa, so it was fitting to post it. I'll be away for the next two weeks... and... granting I survive it... I'll get back to posting. Oh yeah, clicking the image goes to Flickr. There's plenty of embedding options there for anyone who likes it and wants to post it on their own site. I was going to add in a little review on this place, as it was the best Mexican we had in all the North-East, but then I came across this awesome review that already pinned it over on on Mac & Cheese here . Anyone passing anywhere near Philly really shouldn't miss a chance to hit up Las Bugambilias. Mad love! Burn bright... and stay lit!
