how strange

2012-01-16T03:36:00.003-06:00

this is more notable for the news clips than for the television milestone. you'll see what i mean once you watch this conan video.

holy crap, i haven't posted anything on here in a year.
unsurprising.
anyway, here is a pretty tight song and video from Distant Relatives, a side project of Nas and Damian Marley. Excellent After Effects animation, in my opinion.

Uncle Fun Doll Art Show

I participated in and attended Uncle Fun's Doll Art Show yesterday. Here are some photos of the event and the creation of my piece.

hey! the dill pickle co-op is finally open! great place with reasonable prices on bulk foods, organic spices, loose tea, and whatever's on sale. their selection of food from local farmers and local prepared food companies is excellent.

here's a great article on pierre boulez.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/arts/music/10boulez.html
i recently saw him conduct the CSO performing these:
Pierre Boulez - "Livre pour cordes"
Béla Bartók - Concerto for Two Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra
Igor Stravinsky - "The Firebird"
even better, i was lucky enough to attend this performance for free!

lastly, this is a pretty great idea:

HEY

Here's a video of Mike Una's audio performance at the MCA two days ago. I'm mixing video, projected on the wall above him, using his moire pattern dvd, a video generator he built, a small camera aimed at his hands and his gear, and some feedback.

Also, yesterday i was reminded of the genius that is Aaron Spectre, aka Drumcorps. Looking into his music further, i discovered that he's done an awesome breakcore remix of one of my favorite 90s punk songs, "Disconnected" by Face to Face.

bees

2009-08-05T14:26:00.002-05:00

it seems as if the bees are making a comeback. i've been noticing a lot more flying around this year, compared to last year, though the ones i've seen looked a bit more weak and slow than usual. at any rate, i'm pretty sure i stepped on one earlier today. i've done it before, but this time, the experience was much more easy to deal with. the fact that it was much less painful and swelled less may have had something to do with the bee being small and weak. i think, though, that it had more to do with my being better prepared and knowing how to handle the situation.
-checked for stinger
-cleaned with peroxide solution
-applied some ice for a few minutes
-meditated, focusing on my foot and the reduction of pain and inflammation
-listened to bert kaempfert (especially "a swingin' safari")

2009-04-16T14:17:00.002-05:00

as one may have already realized, i'm pretty late in the game, out of the loop, etc. when it comes to many things. so it's no surprise that i'm a week late with this. better than 2 years late, as i was with the last video post. my friend kelly sent me these esepecially hilarious video clips.

BABY!!! we can work it out. let's put it back together.

2009-04-01T13:03:00.002-05:00

i don't know anything. inlcuding the fact that devo had a new song 2 years ago. here's the video for it:

lazer gunz in the attic

2009-02-13T17:58:00.006-06:00

found this in the attic at my dad's house. apparently, it only costs $3.97 to "destroy evil forces." i think my brother and i were supposed to receive these as gifts when we were little. looks like a knockoff star wars gun. interestingly, this toy is made by the same company that makes the super soaker squirt gun.

out of the box

also, this article (http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/ap_050418_einstein.html)is pretty common-sense information, but the following quote seems relevant, if'n you know what i mean...

"Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical -- and rewarding -- efforts."

everything

2008-08-06T14:27:00.000-05:00

Millions of people out there have blogs. now i'm one of them.
I read a lot of internet articles, Wikipedia entries, and some blogs, and i find a lot of interesting music through mp3 blogs. I often don't have time to finish reading the articles or downloading the music, so i thought i might create a blog as a public repository for these things, so i'd be able to go back to them easily, and so i could also share this information with others. I'm sure some of it will be pretty well known by the time i post links, but some of it will be obscure, interesting, and/or useful. Hopefully a lot of it will be.

Here's the first entry, containing links to things from yesterday and today:

NASA/mars http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN3136620220080805

the next few are particularly joyous:

I bought some mint at the farmers' market on sunday and made some delicious mint/blueberry tea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentha

I was researching various blog hosting/creation websites when i found this movie. It looks pretty interesting and fun. Those kids have put together some kickass sound systems. http://www.madeinqueensfilm.com/

Someone I barely know may have a kidney stone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone

I also found out about the band Corntooth today while looking at various blogs. They're a group comprised of members of various Virginia hardcore punk and metal bands, such as Lamb of God and Avail, who play great country and bluegrass tunes together. Here's some links i found related to them, including some of their songs posted on a message board.

This is where i found the link to the bike movie. There's also an excerpt from a 1995 interview in WIRED with Brian Eno. http://wanderlustmind.com/

I've never been to Chick Fil-A, but a name like that seems at least slightly suspect to me. I guess i shouldn't prejudge so easily: http://health.yahoo.com/experts/eatthis/11230/americas-bestand-worstrestaurants/

Have you ever played this game? You aren't the only one. Actually, i used to play Bust-a-Move, but it's basically the same thing.

that's it. maybe i'll add things later.
