Information Technology, Innovation and Consumerism

Doing lots of catching up today! So back in February, we got an email from Ronnie Exley:In the spirit of all the very cool fan related stuff going on in the world on NIN right now, I thought this would be a great time to submit something of my personal craft. In August I finished up an Undergraduate Research Fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley. Under the Interdisciplinary Studie [cont...]

Jerome Dillon likes to score

If you've been wondering what Jerome Dillon has been up to since nearly went quiet, we got word that has composed the score for the upcoming horror/thriller film, The Collector. Not "I pick things up," but "He always takes one." If it's anything like what I've heard from the score he did for Vacancy 2, look for a mix of percussion, drone work, and electronics. The film is set for release on Ju [cont...]

Lucky Pierre music store launches

caspar from luckyPRICK sent word (over a week ago, whoops) that Kevin McMahon has launched a new website of his own - LuckyPierreMusic, along with a massive online store where you can pretty much buy his entire back catalog (as mp3s, FLACS and physical CDs) along with a bunch of new merch. Yeah, it's not really Nine Inch Nails news, but it's tangentially related and we post about tangentially rel [cont...]

Cleaned up the merch page

Being a three-day weekend, I've managed to get enough done that I was idle to the point of making some long-needed (albeit minor) adjustments to our merch page. I've refined the eBay auction filters to better exclude unofficial junk, and changed the menu from an ugly text menu to a series of selections with associated graphics. I've also removed the Google Adsense banners at the top and bottom of [cont...]
