Our storyboarding for the CommLab 2-minute movie assignment went well today — as it turns out, we’re all twisted bastards, so the movie seems to be coming along accordingly.

New job ambition — Songbird

So I am fully in love with Songbird. Open source music player, fully functional in Windows, OSX, Ubuntu, etc — fully compatible with your iTunes music library, follows your iTunes updates, on and on — it’s amazing! It’s still got some bugs, and a few things I’d like to see carried over from [...]

Text 100’s Machinima

So my old firm is at it again, busy taking over the internet step by step. In this case, it’s something I’d actually had the pleasure of working on when I was still in their employment, in this case working with the CEO on the audio and then doing all the music. Still [...]

And the midterm season dries up

It’s 2:15 in the morning on a Thursday night (or Friday morning, depending on your point of view). I’m sitting on my longboard in the PATH station, typing furiously on my laptop as I await Ye Olde PATHe train. I am covered in sweat and sawdust, my hands are burned from soldering and [...]

Progressions…

I’m taking a break from soldering to blog.
(Revisiting the previous statement. Holy crap I’m a nerd.)

It’s on the way! After a billion hours of soldering LED’s, our lil’ dude is on his way, McFinally!
Many, many thanks to Adam Simon for joining our soldering party and keeping [...]

Redesign in progress…

So the Greening theme is gone.  It had to go.  I loved it, I cared for it, I was ready to move in with it and start a real future with a five-year plan… but it just wasn’t meant to be.  The layout was awkward, and it never remembered to put the toilet seat down.
I’m [...]

The chair progresses still — now with our supply of 120 BRAND NEW SUPERBRIGHT LEDs!!!
We’re seeing some happy improvements — the chair works fully as a switch, and still can trigger a light.  [...]
