Phillips Backyard Weekender: Tips From The Pros! Vol.1: Alex Kerr

It’s another year and another weekend spent dancing out butts off and enjoying time with friends at Phillips Brewery! We asked Alex Kerr, Marketing Manager of Atomique Productions his advice on how to party professionally this coming weekend.

1. What are your top 5 must see artists this weekend? 

I’m going to avoid the obvious must-sees because if you don’t plan on seeing Reggie Watts or The Revolution you’re nuts.

1. Hollie Cook – Hey Victoria, remember how you fell head over heels for Allen Stone last year? Yeah, it’s going to happen again. I dare you not to crush on Hollie’s tropical pop sound and sweet demeanour.
58-og
2. I M U R – Be sure to duck into the Picnic-er Stage for I M U R on Saturday night for some dreamy bass-heavy RnB.

3. Moontricks – Make this your late-day, out-of-office “meeting”  on Friday afternoon, because Moontricks > work.

4. Miami Nights 1984 – These two play the sounds you want to hear on a Sunday afternoon after one or two or twelve beers the night before. Do yourself a favour and get some musical therapy in early on Sunday afternoon.

5. The Funkee Wadd (Sunday set) – Playing soon after Miami Nights 1984, The Funkee Wadd will get you levelled up for the rest of Sunday with his funky breaks and classic throwbacks. Few stages fit his vibes better than the west coast intimacy of The Picnic-er Stage.

2. Being a Phillips Weekender Pro, what are 3 Pro tips you can share that everyone should know on how to be the best weekender they can be?

1. Wear proper footwear. This ain’t no summertime festival in a grassy field. Lace up your dancing sneakers and leave the flips flops at home to maximize your dancability at #PBW2018.

2. Explore the drink menu. Yeah, The Weekender is known for its (delicious) Phillips beer, but there’s some hidden gems on tap this weekend. Merridale’s Mo’Moro Blood Orange Cider tastes like summer in a glass and rumour has it their Cowichan Vodka will be mixed with a lavender lemonade (I’ll take five plz).

3. Hit up the afterparties. There’s some serious talent lined up for this year’s afterparties, so pace yourself and prepare to go late into the night up at the Capital Ballroom.

3. Summarize what Phillips Backyard Weekender means to you in a Haiku 

Ten drink tickets please

Hey these are going down nice

The fuck is my shirt?

Google’s new Tour Creator lets students make their own VR tours – TechCrunch

Image
Google today launched a new tool for teachers and their students called Tour Creator, which allows anyone to create their own VR tour using imagery from Google’s Street View or their own 360-degree photos. The new app is designed to work with Google Cardboard and Google’s existing VR “field trips” app Expeditions . The goal with Expeditions is to let people virtually travel the world to see far off places they may never have the chance to visit in person – like Antarctica or Machu Picchu, for example. Google says that since Expeditions’ arrival in 2015, over three million students have virtually visited places around the globe. Now, the idea is to let students and teachers themselves build their own VR experiences and stories without needing technical knowledge. Instead, using Tour Creator, anyone can build an immersive 360-degree tour from their computer. To use the service, you click to get started, give the tour a name and upload a cover photo. You can then search through Go

New malware highjacks your Windows clipboard to change crypto addresses – TechCrunch

Image
In what amounts to be an amazingly nefarious bit of malware, hackers have created an exploit that watches 2.3 million high-value crypto wallets and replaces the addresses in the Windows clipboard with an address associated with the hackers. In other words, you could paste your own wallet address – 3BYpmdzASG7S6WrpmrnzJCX3y8kduF6Kmc, for example – and the malware would subtly (or unsubtly) change it to its own private wallet. Because it happens in the clipboard most people wouldn’t notice the change between copying and pasting. Security researchers at BleepingComputer have found similar hijackers in the wild but this latest version is actively watching valuable wallets and trying grab bitcoin as they enter the accounts. Below is an example of the malware at work. The malware runs a massive, 83MB DLL file that masquerades as a Direct X service. Inside the DLL is a 2.5 million line text file full of bitcoin addresses. In the above test when cutting and pasting from an HTML page into W

Bitcoin is quickly moving back toward early June norms around $7,500 though may meet resistance at $7,750 . In March, Bitcoin dipped below the $10,000 mark and it’s been unable to mount a rally back above that level in the months since. screenshot via CoinMarketCap They may not last, but mid-July’s gains aren’t just a Bitcoin story. Out of the top 100 coins, 24 coins made double digit gains in the l
