censure, said the tenser

A) "At the next stage in the process, the tea leaves ARE blended". B) "At the next stage in the process, the tea leaves WERE blended". Is A correct from a formal grammar standpoint? If so, which tense is it using, and how is it using the past tense of "blend"? If not, why not?

Crystals

It was 1999, I'd just graduated from trackers to fruityloops, and I was listening to a LOT of Warp and Boards Of Canada, and I made this. It's still my favourite, despite being the first tune I ever completed. Tsk.

East Van Meetup?

Off the back of this AskMe, I propose an East Van meetup sometime in the next couple of weeks. Weekends are out for me (for the next couple of weeks, anyway), but I work more or less in the area, so after work at 8ish somewhere on Main would be good...who's in?

Vancouver Meetup?

I have claimed, on many,many,many occasions that I will be at a meetup, but, as yet, have not showed. I'm not so flaky as to not turn up for one I've organised myself, surely? (I'm not.) Anyone interested?

SnowSphere Snowsphere is a combination snowsports and travel 'zine, catering to those who have winterlust and wanderlust in equal amounts. Ever wanted to go skiing in Kazakhstan? Chile? The Himalayas? If your only interests are getting wasted in Whistler, or chundering in Chamonix, this may not be the mag you're looking for. If you're a more adventurous sort, and you're looking for inspiration to try boarding off the beaten path, give our articles a read.

SkyTrain

A sketch of a sunny, bouncy ambient-ish track I Fruitylooped a month or so ago. I may actually completely rewrite it, or something similar, now I have access to a Jupiter 8, and can take my Boards Of Canada / Kraftwerk thieveries to more convincing levels....

Music to end a film by

I'm looking for folksy, elegiac, repetitive songs that have a sort of nostalgic "holding onto a moment" sort of feel. Ok, that's sort of vague, so here's some examples:

I know this hurts.

Why is a blank stare and a quizzical, staccato head-tilt to the left or right Hollywood shorthand for "I am inhumanly evil/possessed by a demon/a liquid metal killing machine/a humanoid but emotionless android", amongst others?
