Hey everybody, here’s a track I recently put together called “Trapped in 1984.” I think it would be really cool to have some dystopian animation to go along with it, so consider this my official request for animations/videos/mashups. It’s short and sweet which makes animating easier. Download the track, see what you can do. Email… Continue reading Video Request: Trapped in 1984

My other favorite pastime.
Workaholic or just stupid?
I just finished calculating the hours I worked for the past 2 weeks (my pay period at Pantano), and my Pantano total is up to 70 hours, which doesn’t include whatever I’ll be working today. In case you didn’t know, I’m an hourly employee only contracted for 60 hours in a pay period. Now here’s… Continue reading Workaholic or just stupid?

It’s called “Please Tell Me Who You Are.” UPDATE: Here’s a link to our MySpace Band page, since the direct link stopped working. UPDATE 2: Someone… Continue reading New Song (well, new recording)
California dreaming, racks, WikiTeam
I’m going to be in San Diego for the next few days. I hope my guitars (I’m taking 3) survive the Yuma desert on the way out there. The Priority band (website’s down, so no link) is playing for a camp at Point Loma. I should be excited, but I’ve done this before, and last… Continue reading California dreaming, racks, WikiTeam
Wired
I just found a very promising digital audio workstation for Linux. Wired is beta quality, but the screenshots look great. It is a KDE app, much like Rosegarden, so that makes me happy. I think that with the right hardware, Linux+Wired+Rosegarden could make a very happy studio. Now, if only they had Reason for Linux.… Continue reading Wired
