Lands­mót hesta­manna verður haldið vik­una 27. júní til 4. júlí að Vind­heima­melum í Skaga­firði. Lands­mótið hefur verið haldið í 60 ár og er þetta það 19. í röð­inni.  Lands­mót hafa verið haldin áður fimm sinnum á keppn­is­svæð­inu á Vindheimamelum.

Frá upp­hafi eða frá því að Lands­mót var fyrst haldið á Þing­völlum, hefur mótið verið einn stærsti íþrótta­við­burður lands­ins. Grapewire hefur hannað og byggt sér­sniðið að þörfum Lands­sam­bands hesta­manna nýtt sveigj­an­legt miða­sölu­kerfi sem fram­vegis er notað til sölu miða, varn­ings, hjól­hýsa­stæða og stúkusæta.

"The music bus­iness is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

--Hun­ter S. Thompson

At the IMX website the spotlight is tur­ned on our own Mr E, he who never speaks. This time around he masters sentenced like "The small mar­ket is ideal to make mista­kes and learn." And also: "Grapewire is a global affair, music is made and enjoyed all over the world." He cont­inues: "A clear vision of where things are hea­ding and an und­er­st­and­ing of how today’s creative processes are best compli­mented with technology, common sense and a bit of punk ideology. Our strong focus on mar­ket ana­lysis and belief in app­lying data to catch trends and help with career chang­ing decisions."

We are very proud of him for his great sentence struct­ure. But please, read it and enjoy!

We have partn­ered up with Icelandairwaves music festi­val in Reykja­vik as their digital solution partner. Not only do we sell tickets to the ever pop­ular festi­val but also the tools to sell merchandise and music.

The festi­val itself is now in its 11^th year and takes place over  a 5 day per­iod in October. Around 200 bands and art­ists both local and internati­onal play at the festi­val this year.

Yay, iTu­nes is really boost­ing the digital album as a product with their new iTu­nes LP format.

While we were hop­ing to see Apple push the quality of the audio files even fur­t­her the albums relea­sed so far are in a 256kbps AAC format. The int­erest­ing part is that Apple is using emerg­ing CSS tricks such as ani­mation to enhance the experience. Somehow the whole thing seems to be very DVD menu like and one wond­ers if it is slated for the TV/computer mer­ger that seems imminent.

There is a brilli­ant article on the internals on the format at Jay Robinson's website we engourage you to take a look at.
