A Ghost Story Shaped by Your Phone's Data There’s a moment in the mobile book Breathe where your phone ceases to work. The screen freezes, the camera wigs out, and it’s impossible to swipe to the next page. If it feels like a ghost slipped its way into your phone and took hold of the software, that’s because it has. Breathe is a ghost story. Breathe is the newest book from Editions at Play, a series of mobile-first stories created by the experimental publishing house Visual Editions and Google Creative Lab that are designed to explore how technology can reshape our expectations of what a book should look like. Mobile books are designed with some inherent tradeoffs—in the place of paper, there’s glass; instead of ink, there are pixels. In Breathe, for instance, the story changes depending on who is reading it and where they’re reading it. Sound creepy? Much of Breathe is told through a simple serif typeface on a cream background.
Ma routine capillaire après 2 ans sans shampooing | Échos verts Voilà maintenant plus de 2 ans que j’ai arrêté de me laver les cheveux avec du shampooing et que j’ai petit à petit réussi à réduire ma fréquence de lavage grâce aux conseils d’Antigone XXI et à l’usage de produits bio et naturels. Comme vous avez pu le constater au fil de mes bilans (3 mois, 8 mois, 1 an), j’ai découvert un tas d’astuces naturelles puis testé, abandonné ou adopté plusieurs d’entre elles. Plus récemment, j’ai également répondu aux questions de Clémentine La Mandarine et partagé mon expérience et quelques conseils pour se diriger vers le no-poo. À l’heure actuelle, je me lave les cheveux 2 à 3 fois par mois. J’ai aussi plus récemment réalisé l’importance d’utiliser des soins pour remédier aux petits désagréments qui peuvent apparaître à différents moments : pellicules, cheveux secs… Moi qui n’appliquais qu’un ou deux soins (industriels et inadaptés) par an avant de passer au no-poo, je suis dorénavant plus attentive aux besoins de mon cuir chevelu et de mes cheveux.

Scott Walker, influential rock enigma, dies aged 76 Image copyright Getty Images Scott Walker, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history, has died at the age of 76. The US star found fame as a teen idol in The Walker Brothers, scoring hits with The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore and Make It Easy On Yourself. But his dark baritone hinted at something deeper - and his darker, experimental solo albums tackled the complexities of love, sex and death. Walker's death was confirmed by his current record label, 4AD. In a statement, they called the singer "one of the most revered innovators at the sharp end of creative music". Radiohead's Thom Yorke was among those paying tribute, describing Walker as "a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words". Born Noel Scott Engel in Ohio, 1943, Walker initially pursued a career as an actor, before hooking up with John Maus and Gary Leeds to form the misleadingly-named Walker Brothers. "Touring in those days was very primitive. Orchestral pop
Il Pickwick - Quelle vite aggrovigliate davanti al bancone del bar Confesso di non avere letto Open, l’autobiografia di Agassi, ma in molti me ne hanno parlato come di un bel libro. E confesso di avere mantenuto un atteggiamento snob di fronte al consiglio di cimentarmi con esso. Credo per una sorta di rifiuto nei confronti di chi racconta la sua vicenda di atleta sportivo. Allora ho come cercato di ovviare dopo la scoperta che a Open ha contribuito J. studio, nell’amore, nel lavoro, poi è come se la scarsa attitudine a primeggiare nelle sfide si prendesse la naturale rivincita.

Scott Walker: 'I was an intense young guy. I think I did temporarily go crazy' | Music Whatever happened to the great 20th-century crooner Scott Walker? Simple really. He disappeared, had any number of breakdowns, or one long one, and returned as a great 21st-century, avant garde composer. Today David Bowie, Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Brian Eno, Julian Cope, the great innovators in contemporary music, line up to proclaim the genius of Scott Walker. There was always more to the Walker Brothers than appeared at first sight – they weren't called Walker, weren't brothers, and however much they appealed as eye candy, their music contained a surprising depth and frame of reference. Walker was born Noel Scott Engel, in Ohio in 1943. But Walker, a handsome young man who looked as if he should have been surfing the waves of California, was locked in his own agonies. He rarely talks to the media. He arrives at his manager's house in west London exactly on time, and walks into the room wearing the cap. Did he find fame hard to deal with? It's amazing how sane Walker sounds.
RIP Ursula K Le Guin: The wizard of Earthsea Ursula K. Le Guin reading in 2008. Pic by Gorthian, CC 3.0 Obit Beloved dragon-tale spinning author Ursula K Le Guin has died. She was a multiple Hugo award-winner ("speculative fiction", anyone?) The Dispossessed won Le Guin the holy sci-fi trinity – a Locus, Nebula and a Hugo – and Reg readers voted for it back in 2011 as one of our "best sci-fi films never made". It was this quality that made her such a fine writer. A lot of her work – like that of all the literary greats – had to do with thought experiments: What if the relationship between power and gender were different; what if you didn't – for good or for bad – have to think about whether you wanted to have sex with someone when you interacted with them? There is a yellowed, slightly dog-eared copy of 1974's The Dispossessed, complete with art nouveau-style illustration, on the shelf of the William Morris Gallery in London. Facts aren't all that easy to come by. She was a good read.

Il ritorno degli xx e le altre canzoni per il weekend - Giovanni Ansaldo The xx, Say something loving Lo confesso, non sono un grande fan degli xx, pur avendoli apprezzati ai loro esordi nel 2009. Dopo il mezzo passo falso di Coexist, pensavo che fossero un gruppo con poca consistenza. Gli ottimi progetti solisti di Jamie xx non erano bastati a farmi cambiare idea. Insomma, non vedevo l’ora di stroncare il loro nuovo disco I see you, uscito oggi. E invece niente, l’album funziona. Jamie xx ha capito come deve vestire le canzoni indie pop del trio, trasportandole verso un suono più maturo e stratificato.

Anna Calvi A not-so-funny thing happened to Anna Calvi on the way to making her live US debut a month ago. The British goth-cabaret-indie-rock artist reagitated an old arm injury, and doctors instructed her to lay off her beloved guitar (she’s been playing since the tender age of 9) for up to a month, which meant having to postpone her first New York shows as well as gigs at South By Southwest in Austin. But disappointing as the news was, that bit of drama was nothing compared to the swirling sturm und drang of Calvi’s songs, ten of which are featured on her justly lauded self-titled debut album, released in March. Cave himself is one of Calvi’s A-list endorsers, having taken her on the road with his band Grinderman and given her at least one bit of emerging-artist advice. That’s some heady praise, and quite a support staff for an artist who only began singing five years ago. JOHN NORRIS: Anna, I was sorry to hear about these postponed shows and your arm injury. CALVI: Yeah, definitely.
