Habitual music / sound survey
1) Approximately how many of your waking hours each day are you listening to music? Of that number of hours, how much of the time is music you’ve chosen to listen to, and how much time is it music from speakers in a store, cafe, friend’s room, etc.? I’ll have to measure, but I’m usually […]

fully committed to the cloud…
what a long strange trip it’s been? i wrote “sold out” on the face of my first mobile (erm, cell) phone. i’ve always been interested in technology, but the pervasiveness of cell phones turned me off…and like EZ Pass i wanted to have nothing do with them. now as an avid iPhone owner (and before […]

here it comes…
all registered for the semester now. as mentioned on twitter, in at 11:00:03, done by 11:00:45. classes filled up very quickly. i’m really glad that i went to gordie’s registration session…he had some great tips which i think were crucial (although i won’t mention here – i may need them next semester :) ) after […]

finally here…
today was orientation for ITP…all of us first year students got together to be welcomed by Red Burns and to introduce ourselves to everyone. there are so many really smart, really interesting people in this class, from all backgrounds and from all over the world. it’s quite inspiring to be a part of this community.

openGL in a browser
i enjoyed reading about lissajous curves in brendan dawes’ “analog in, digital out”. specifically he was speaking about iteration and how altering one of the parameters of the algorithm can create vastly different output. inspired by that here’s a sketch expanding the algorithm into 3d. not groundbreaking but it certainly looks pretty. following other’s example […]

iteration
playing with the 3d game of life sketch. i’m still looking to get the rules right, but in the meantime i’ve added a mutation. occasionally the upper rule changes which causes the cells to birth/die in sometimes drastically different ways. also, the colors reflect the age of each cell; they progress from red to blue […]

infectious…
I am coming to believe that the atmosphere at ITP is infectious. Every time I pass through there I come away with this bug to work on another project. I stopped by yesterday while I was in New York, ran into someone I had met at the spring show and had a good chat about […]

home again
Back home now, and realize just how much stuff we have. Now that we have an idea of the space we’re moving into we (I) have to dispose of many of my things. Some of it will be relatively easy – the junk that I collect because it MIGHT be useful one day. Harder will […]

finally, some progress…
we found a new place in brooklyn. it was quite exhausting to keep searching daily, away from home…but we’re happy with the new apartment. now it’s time to get packed up to move…just a few more days before i have to think about that. i have my NYU id and have gotten notice that my […]

deep thoughts…
i’m far too distracted to maintain a respectable blog….i never aim to sit down and write a proper article….but i can bust out the one-liners like nobody’s business (well, that’s probably not even true, either). thank goodness for something like twitter….perfect for someone like me that needs to have an audience for every inane witticism…even […]
