The Super Viral Brothers are a Producer + Vocalist Duo from Sweden, and their first single "Hot Chocolate + Polar Bear Rug" is an absolute banger.... even if it makes no sense at all. The video is even more absurd, as the "brothers" are birthed, along with a bunch of groupies, all from this poor trashy blonde girl. Not really work safe due to ridiculous amounts of gorey birth goo, and some language in the lyrics. The single belongs to their first release “Wires In Love”, coming soon. Remixes of "Hot Chocolate" from Dada Life, Maskinen, and Stay Gold, are available and the Dada Life mix will tear up any club. (via Discobelle) Follow the Super Viral Brothers on Twitter!

I've been playing around with Android 1.5 in the last months, using hacked roms and lately the Android Developer candidate release.. Now that the Cupcake update has pushed to all users, I've reverted back to the T-Mobile release of Android 1.5. The big thing with 1.5, besides stereo bluetooth, is widgets on the home screen. I'm not a huge fan of widgets, they take up icon space and can slow down the home screen, but I do use a couple to increase my productivity. My most recent and exciting find in the Market has been Twidgit lite. It impressed me so much, it kickstarted me into blogging about Android again.

I use Twidroid for my main twitter browsing and functionality, but Twidgit offers an at-a-glance view of the latest update from your friends' feed. Tap on the widget to see the tweet in full, with options to reply, or create a new tweet. Twidgit gives you the option to set the update frequency to as little as once every five minutes, to once every hour, or even manually (there is a little refresh button on the widget for that).

Twidgit isn't perfect; every so often it crashes, but it is very hard to make anything work with Twitter and keep running 100%. However, you can track the development and talk to its creator (Matt Woodfield) via twitter.

PS - Twidgit Lite is free.

The folks over at Blink are always pushing the bar with their video productions. They've done work for Peter, Björn & John, and this time they (well, Tomas Mankovsky) have created this awesome little stop motion short created with a camera pointed at a floor. The effect isn't new (called pixilation) but the video is pretty awesome. Check it out below and visit the official page to see how they made it.

Day two of the Google I/O developer conference unveiled a potential game changer for how we use the web to communicate and socialize. It's called Google Wave, and it's an open-source collaboration tool meant to replace our normal methods of sending emails, replying to threads and forums, and sharing information like photos, documents, videos and other media. Day 2 of Google I/O was all about Wave, and right now its a very much unfinished developer preview, but should be ready to launch to the public by the end of the year. Wave was created by the same team who brought you Google Maps, and they hope that the same amount of developer involvement and community that built up around Maps will follow into Wave. I dare say that the API for Wave is nearly double that of Maps, and the extensibility is tenfold. Wave is your homepage, your main portal. Email has become too multipurpose and its use has become cluttered. Communicating with all your friends via Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc, is hard. Sharing photos and videos, collaborating on documents, all of that is fragmented across the web and across dozens of unique userbases. Wave collides all of that into one place, while instantly (and I do mean instantly) routing and pushing all of your socialness to where you want it to go and to whoever you want to see it. Its really an intense new way of thinking, and I urge you to watch the Keynote for Wave that I've embedded below. The video is 90 minutes long but absolutely worth every minute. Right now Google Wave is in a developers sandbox (launch to the public by the end of 2009), and I/O attendees were given early access to test and develop gadgets and extensions for the system. If the launch is timed and publicized correctly, I can see this becoming a major part of life on the web. I'm already sold, and I can see it integrating and replacing at least 40% of my daily social life on the web. And it works with Twitter. Enough said. wave.google.com googlewavedev.blogspot.com

Oh my god, look at him... he's all cute and little and furry and scruffy and tan! I think he works in landscaping... his pants show some worked in grass stains. Or maybe he just likes to wrestle... *drool. #snap

Today is a hot and muggy day, but at least I get to wear shorts. I'm taking my respite group to the park for a trail walk down at Lossen Park. I like my legs, and can't wait to get them ready for the serious hiking Jay and I have planned for the Summer. I'm also in love with my new hiking boots from Vasque... support and comfortability with vented uppers so my poor flat feet can breathe. They feel great and look sweet. I'd do me, from the waist down at least. #snap.

The month of May has been a time of change for me, and I suppose its time to let you in on some of the things that have been going on. First of all, I'm sure its apparent by now that I'm no longer dating John, AKA Scranto. The choice was hard to make, but it was the right thing to do. I uncovered and embraced a part of my life that till recently didn't make any sense. I'm polyamorous, and that pretty much means that you don't limit your emotional connections to one partner. For some, being poly means you can have multiple relationships, maybe a triad or a few separate lovers. The difference that makes it not so slutty is that there is openness and communication across the board. For me, being poly means that I don't have to be afraid to express my care and love for my closest friends, mentors, "daddies," and I don't have to hide it from my partner. I don't wanna date 3 guys, I can't handle it, I just don't want to have to hide how I feel for someone and ensure my partner knows I love him just the same. For a month, I've been discovering this about myself, figuring out what to do, how to make this work in the current situation, but I couldn't. The choice I made was to break up with John, start fresh, and start growing up in 2009. It was tough, it hurt, but I feel 100% about the path that I'm on today. Fast forward to now. When I refer to "the boyfriend," I'm referring to Jay (see above in 8bit). He's sorta the catalyst for it all. Its hard to explain, but for a time I thought I could date John and Jay, and keep it all perfect. That wasn't going to work, but I took my time with Jay and he is the best partner for me as I walk down this path. I  love this guy, he keeps bringing out the best in me, and anyone that can put up with me deserves a fucking medal. How did I meet Jay? Eh, its complicated (involves twitter, being thrown up against a wall, grumpybear, Forest Lawn, Westboro Church, a trip to Darien Lake, and a month long case of blue balls)... but it wouldn't be my life if it wasn't. I'm happy, real happy. P.S. - It's now totally cool to date someone you meet on twitter.

I'm an absolute sucker for rough looking, tattooed, pierced, furry mother fuckers... but since I like a boy I can take to meet the Family, my lovers are a tad bit more conservative. However, I can drool can't I? #snap

After a weighted tabulation from blog comments and friendly opinions, cleanshaven Nate will stick around for a while. Personally, I don't find myself attractive anymore. Popular opinion assures me my face is still my "meal ticket," but I'm gonna have to spend some serious time staring into the mirror to fall in love with my face again. Oh, the woes of a narcissist. In the mean time, help me find a decent 'lectric razor to keep the scruff at bay. I don't trust a straight blade in my hands anywhere near my face. PS - The real reason I shaved was that Jay wanted to see it. It doesn't matter what others think, or even what I think... you wanna look hot for the man you love right? Right. #snap

I never quite got Ze Frank... all I know is that he's an internet man that gets it. his humor is blatant, thought provoking, and most of the time completely absurd. This video is no exception.... Check out the rest of Ze Franks HardTimes videos on Vimeo in glorious HD.
