Bar Code Art is a cool site that twists that dehumanizeing collection of lines into something more creative. On Scott Blake's site there are lots of things to see and do. Bar code yourself, look at portraits made of barcodes, download a barcode clock, and even have a real snail-mail postcard of one of the portraits sent to you.

Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town is a fantastic new book from Cory Doctorow. I absolutely loved it. Even better, it has been released under a Creative Commons license. You can download a free electronic version here. Read it at your computer, on your PDA, or even on your cellphone or iPod.

A review:

It's only natural that Alan, the broadminded hero of Doctorow's fresh, unconventional SF novel, is willing to help everybody he meets. After all, he's the product of a mixed marriage (his father is a mountain and his mother is a washing machine), so he knows how much being an outcast can hurt. Alan tries desperately to behave like a human being?or at least like his idealized version of one. He joins a cyber-anarchist's plot to spread a free wireless Internet through Toronto at the same time he agrees to protect his youngest brothers (members of a set of Russian nesting dolls) from their dead brother who's now resurrected and bent on revenge. In this inventive parable about tolerance and acceptance, he demonstrates how memorably the outrageous and the everyday can coexist. - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

You can download the rest of his books in various electronic formats here.

The Eames Era is a great band from Louisiana that I heard about through Dailysonic. Here is a review:

"The clean and angular melodies, the workman rhythms, and luminous vocals reference the aesthetics of the design duo Charles and Ray Eames from which the band takes their name. Like the high design of the '50s, The Eames Era blend availability with an informed sense of the history of their craft. Their second EP, simply titled The Second EP, features four tightly crafted, charming pop songs as well as a video for "Could Be Anything."... Choppy, Strokes-like guitar lines, charming female vocals, flawless harmonies and hand claps a-plenty make this EP irresistible" -Punk Planet

Download an mp3 of their song "Could Be Anything" here

Dailysonic is one of my favorite podcasts.  A funny and hip look at news, music, science, and culture.  Featuring the amazing one-minute radio drama "F**k You, Robot".
