I’m no expert here. I’m simply and honestly telling you the songs that I loved this past year - polls, charts, blogs, magazines aside. I avoided adding/removing songs just to reach some practical number, so there are only 24.

Here we go with the very subjective and biased Top 24 Songs of 2009!

In preparation for New Years, I figured that the site could use a little bit of love. Therefore, I’ve decided to do a bit of housekeeping here on Jetcomx, which includes a much needed face-lift. So, over the next few days, expect the site to be a little buggy and/or generally strange looking. If you find a bug and you’re feeling nice (you better have some generosity left in you, it’s 2 days after Christmas) let me know using the contact form. Thanks guys!

PS - Expect much more fresh content coming soon! December has been a crazy-busy month for all of us, and as a result, the site’s been a little neglected.

This was exactly how I wanted to start my day this morning.

Not the most fitting visual? I mean, I can only hope this is sort of what it’s like when we discover the fourth dimension… when I cross, I don’t think this would be my first pick to rock in my space crystal.

Subjective appropriateness aside, it’s a video to enjoy, so enjoy!

British illustrator David Brownings has used nothing more than colored construction paper, glue, and an X-Acto knife to create beautiful paper replicas of Nike sneakers. The amount of detail that went into making these shoes is really quite amazing. From far away, these definitely look like the real deal. I love ‘em.

The world was a totally different place 100 years ago - there was no commercial radio, no TV, and the internet hadn’t even been conceived. World Wars I & II had yet to be fought, the Titanic had yet to be built, and Arizona & New Mexico weren’t even part of the United States. And yet, without all of these seemingly monumental things, life carried on just fine.

In this video for Air’s “La Femme D’Argent,” we are given a glimpse of what the world was like in 1905 on a trolley in San Francisco. The trolley is traveling down Market Street towards the Ferry building, for those of you familiar with the city. Keep in mind that most of what you see in the video was destroyed in the gigantic earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906. The song and video are still pretty trippy nevertheless. I’ve watched it probably 10 times, or so, and it gets cooler every time.
