The blitz that was..

Just this saturday past, Bondi was again host to the rocking' Blitz concert. At it, about 12 bands from around the greater Sydney area rip their squires and Gibsons out (and various Korg synths if you douchy like that) and play for 25min sets throughout out the day. The concert is targeted at Youth.. and our awareness of certain things.. for example they had this weird facebook stall about privacy and blah blah blah.. Now, you may notice I haven't said a word about Jeff. Well, um.. yeah.. we didn't play. *gasps from the readers erupt* Basically, there was a huge miscommunication.. we wanted a change in set time.. but, we got cut. It was a great shame, I mean cmon.. I was practicing my solo all friggin night, (though apparently it sounds a lot like Reuben's.. There is always the Blymps throughout the year, but they're just not the same.. Blitz is great because its outdoors in the sun.. and a more casual atmosphere, the public just meandering by at will. 

Anyway, so the other day someone asked me on my flickr if I could recommend any good photography website that have teaching resources etc. I was able to tell him a few that he was really pleased with.. but more interestingly, had never seen before. The thing with the internet it.. its such a great resource full of knowledge, information, resources and (other things).. but finding good sites for what you want can be a hard job.. its like a never ending treasure hunt of clicking to page 92728264 of your Google search. So today I thought I'd list some of the sites that I love.. 

Going through all the interests here.. Firstly, http://www.artwhatson.com.au/ is a great site, it tells you exactly that, whats on. It has a list of galleries around NSW that are having certain exhibitions.. inc. where and when.

Of course there is www.flickr.com ... outside of my photostream of course. If you want to see some mindblowing landscapes.. check out Australian/New Zealand photographer Kane Gledhill and his photostream at, http://www.flickr.com/photos/kanegledhill/  . 

http://www.explosm.net/comics/2010/  is hilarious. Just go on it, daily.. as is; http://theoatmeal.com/ check out their comic section as well. 

Finally, there's Reddit. Reddit is an open source "news" site that allows readers and followers to post everything from articles, news stories, experiences of theirs, funny pictures, opinions, music, games, links, websites… it goes on. Now all of that (and this is the great thing about it) is organised into separate catergories or "subreddits". For example, the music sub-reddit is http://www.reddit.com/r/Music/ click on that and you'll just be looking at links, stories, pictures.. basically anything to do with just music. But it doesn't end there.. in the music sub-reddit.. you have links to OTHER music sub-reddits like the guitar one http://www.reddit.com/r/guitar, all your guitar news in one little neat package. Now the thing is.. all the above websites.. I found by reading reddit.. its that good. At first it may look a bit bland.. but give it 5 minutes and I guarantee you'll love it.
