Well, I was trying to do a little pre-work work but lost my way. I kept thinking about how lonely you loyal readers must be ever since we announced shutting down the shop and seemingly sailed off the edge of the earth.
One thing I’ll say upfront is that these posts will likely get more personal since they’re coming at ya way less formally than previous updates (or not, guess that’s subjective…). If it is lame or uneventful, I’d say I’m sorry but it’s mostly your fault.
So, Rich has his last week here in Santa Cruz before he moves back to San Diego to work at House of Blues and move in with his girl, Ali. I can’t wait to sleep our your couch.
And, me… well, if you’re curious (and I’ll assume you are since you’re still reading,) I’ve been keeping my brain occupied. Few things of interest:
- I met Flying Lotus. (ok, at a show)
- I’m playing with Processing. It’s a programming language geared toward audio/visual generation/manipulation. The picture above is a screenshot of some live action – a little doctored for ambience.
- Odysseus and I are getting settled in our new diggs.
- I’m playing with Reason. Actually, I’ve been playing with reason for well over a year now but usually alone at night, and hardly as good as one should be after using anything for over a year. Hope to share some beats I come up with if I can get my shit dialed.
- I stopped shaving again.
- In nerd news: I’ve refactored a ton of my first open-source project for anything. This one happens to be an Authorize.net plugin in the most excellent CakePHP framework and the plugin can be found and forked at github.
- I’m in the market for a good chef’s knife.
Well, I gotta finish up this cup of coffee and get my ass to the office. I’ve been riding my bike to work for over a month now so I’ve got a bit of a trek ahead of me.
In the meantime, listen…
