Time for a General Update.

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I've been neglecting the blog lately. Posting isn't hard, but getting together coherent ideas that are at least interesting to me -- if not interesting to you folks -- is hard. Everyday, as boredom sets in at work, I come up with all sorts of ideas and projects. I generally ...

1080p (No I Didn’t Buy a TV).

Friday, April 25th, 2008

My co-worker and I were talking about making music. I found out that he's an MC and from what I can tell a pretty good one. I told him about my electronic music production past and he said he was interested in some beats. So I sent him some of ...

In the Beginning.

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Way back in 2002 (before I knew of such things as WordPress, Moveable Type, or Joomla) I had a hand coded blog that I rarely updated. It was ugly and cumbersome; I'm not even sure that it was hosted by a legitimate web-host. The original point of that blog was ...

Steely Dan’s “My Old School”.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Steely Dan is awesome, on this we can all agree. In fact I've discovered that there are two types of Steely Dan songs: songs I love and songs I don't love yet. Lately my favorite song is "My Old School" off the "Count Down to Ecstasy" album. All this aside ...

Monday, November 19th, 2007

This is the ending music from "Portal", one of the "Half-Life" based games on the "Orange Box" disc. I heard them play it on TWiT today and wanted to share. It's written by Jonathan Coulton and it's quite fun. Someone pointed him out to me a while back, no sure ...
