Moby must be sick with envy over this one. Tonight the "unconventional young network," Emmy Award-winning Current TV, will air a taped, private, hour-long Radiohead concert on New Year's Eve (and on New Year's day on broadcast Current TV.) Thom Yorke and his merry band of croonies will perform each track off of their top-listed 2007 effort, In Rainbows. With words that could spark the battle for the title of Christ 2.0, David Neuman,......

The Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium of Berkeley's Center for New Media presents The Re-Dematerialization of the Art Object with guest speakers Matmos, the SF musical collab of M C Schmidt and Drew Daniel. Back in the 1970s, art writer and curator, Lucy Lippard wrote about the rise of conceptual art in an anthology entitled The Dematerialization of the Art Object, charting art's movement from producing things to disseminating ideas. Matmos talks about this in......

For 10 years and counting Microcinema International has been distributing, presenting, and touring independent film and video. Originally based in Seattle, Microcinema is quickly becoming an SF institution. Tonight, as part of its Independent Exposure series, Microcinema presents its annual Halloweird program at 111 Minna (111 Minna St. at 2nd). This year's features 12 weird, creepy, gross, odd and strange shorts made by moving image artists from around the world. From popping out eyeballs......

Niall Kennedy has been a netizen since there was such a thing. He's also maybe the first NCAA Champion we've ever met -- winning a national soccer title in 1997 with the UCLA Bruins. If you're on the national geek conference or local nerd meetup circuit, you're more than likely to run into him. Chances are, he'll be the one with the Technorati t-shirt on -- see if you can spot him in this......

Okay, it's time for us to come clean. This whole blogging thing? It's been fun, but it's all just been an excuse to get in KRON-4's pants. And it worked! This past Saturday, KRON invited a couple hundred of us bloggers to a meetup in its secret headquarters, located at the bottom of two firepoles concealed in the library of stately Wayne Manor. It seems that the station's got a new media consultant who's......

We've gotten shout-outs from some local media types who we really respect since we've been around -- Annalee Newitz, P.J. Corkery, Bill Picture (hey, we love gossip) and the staff at the SF Weekly. Really, we're honored (with vanity and embarrassment tied for second strongest emotions). But to find out from H. Brown himself that we were chosen "Best Food Critics" is, to us, a high point -- especially since we're lucky to have......

The Odeon was supposed to shut down last week. We haven't been there to bite its toe and make sure it is really dead, but we do believe the Pulitzer worthy investigative work of SF most respected new media organization. We have to admit being sad to see the Odeon disappear. While the bar did not leave up to the bourgeois sophistication of its French name, we will miss it. We still have some......
