ALXfoo | 15 years ago | on: Everything popular is wrong: Making it in electronic music

I'd like to point out that the initial comment said something along the lines of hi I'm part of the computer science community and I make unconventional sounds you might like. I only changed it after it was ostracized to reflect the reality of our disconnection.

Proof that good electronic music with artful classical influences gets zero attention is that this comment would be at the bottom of the page with a sub-zero rating. http://soundcloud.com/alxander/cravings

Look at all these passionate discussions. Positively and negatively charged, both sides full of fiery opinion.

I thought this was supposed to be a terrible publicity stunt. I say it worked.

ALXfoo | 15 years ago | on: Why the Quick Bar (“dickbar”) is still so offensive

Not just that, with the new update every time you launch the iPhone app it asks you "Twitter would like to use your current location, allow, don't allow"

No means no

ALXfoo | 15 years ago | on: The end of the poll internet

Generalizations... For example is iTunes truly changing the face of the music industry? No, true music collectors, you know the ones that will remember a song for more than a week, seek high quality, both content and file format music elsewhere.

The same will happen to the non-braindead of the internet, sure garbage pushed information will become popular (like a G6) but truly good content will not disappear. It will however become harder to find, but that's a revolution for a later date.

ALXfoo | 15 years ago | on: Show/Tell HN: My (New Year's) Resolution Is

In 2010 I decided to fully focus only on what truly matters to me and became a music producer (http://soundcloud.com/alxander) I wake up happy every morning and go to sleep excited about the next day, every single day.

In 2011 I'm going to keep cutting my path while plowing through pressures to commercialize my ideas.

Some context on the feedback expected would add value to the points given and received.

As an artist I can't say I'm moved by color selection, shape relation and overall story of the logo.

ALXfoo | 16 years ago | on: Before I die I want to...

In response to d_r words: "Will I get downvoted if I squeak out that this isn't Reddit or Digg -- that posts like these ruin HN? I found HackerNews just a few months ago with excitement that I can read about entrepreneurs, startups, VC drama, latest frameworks, math problems, and all other goodness. I devoured each link with the thrill of learning something new, in short breaks from coding. I didn't feel like I was wasting productive time. Now I feel guilty looking at the front page. (By the way, this is not meant in any way to put down the amazing project depicted here.)"

"and all other goodness" is what this is. It is an art to exist as a whole and actually live. Hacker news is more than "vc drama," and "startups," it is about taking control of your universe because it is all you have and all you make it.

Take my advice when the inevitable awakening hits you and take longer breaks and look, really look. The world is way more fun than "feeling like you are wasting productive time."

What do you want to _____ before you die?

I am doing it.
