I love that each track for the download version of the new Autechre album has it's own art. Something you can't do with a CD. #
Was unsure about a mix until I added a layer of seaside field recordings. Waves crashing on volcanic rock. Now it's perfect! #
Just had the world premier of Letterlens in the living room with Maria's parents. Went well. Good questions during the Q&A! #
Letterlens is now on it's way to Prix ARS in Austria. Good luck little DVD, hope you get accepted! #
Yay! New southland episode. I heart this show. #
I've seen at least three movies this week with Donald Pleasence in them. Two were MST3K episodes. That guy would act in anything. #
Watching 2012 now. The only disaster scenario missing from this movie is a giant monster attack. #
Had to watch old censored Tom and Jerry cartoons at work. Weird to see what was once considered acceptable and how we sterilize the past. #
Wish I could actually play this violin, instead I endlessly bow one string. Sounds nice still. #
Bought a 15ft FireWire cable today so I can drag my apogee duet and wireless keyboard away from the screen. Liberating! #

Putting Letterlens to Kid Eyes on DVD for video festival entry. Learned a LOT about mpeg2 compression today. #
Talked to my dad about soundscape conservation in national parks today (he works at Rocky Mtn). I love that they want to preserve silence. #
My dad told me he's experienced ambient sound rising in pitch at dawn in the wilderness as the sun warms the air. Awesome! #
Just now found there is a word for the quality of photographic blur. Bokeh. Another important thing I didn't learn in film school! #
http://j.mp/dB5rCH #
Hacking wordpress plugins so I can tweet photos directly to my site and have them look sorta centered. CSS kills my brain! #
The soundtrack to Con Air is 90% guitar solos. Why am I watching this? #
I had no idea there were Mason/Illuminati conspiracy theories about the Denver Intl Airport. Hilarious. #
Now working on two records at the same time, plus starting sound on another video. Busy! #
That digital zombie John Lennon commercial for One Laptop Per Child is creepy. Can we not put words in dead mouths please? #
Neato, a whole list of new media festivals separated by entry deadline! Perfect! http://www.filmfestivalworld.com/experimental_new_media/ #
GirlScoutCookieComa… #
Coming up with ideas for my 3 toy video projectors. Dim and blurry x 3 = pretty. #
Either this Belgian beer is really strong or my tolerance for alcohol is way down. Dizzy! #

Rendering video and trying to get over a cold. Big plans for a productive weekend dashed by sudden sickness.  #
I just can't get this compression right. Rendering again. Grrr! #
Still can't get the compression right on this video. Any advice on compressing something with LOTS of movement for Vimeo? #
I think I just broke the Internet. Sorry everyone. #
I  Nietzsche quotes. RT @NietzscheSays Mankind surely does not represent an evolution toward a better or stronger or higher level.. #
Is it just me or has Twitter stopped playing nice with Facebook? #
An excerpt from my new video is up now! http://vimeo.com/9477769 #

Working on titles for my new video. I think it's going to be finished this weekend! I'll post an excerpt once I'm sure it's done. #
I've been working on this video for almost a year now, so I'm excited to see it finished. #
Watching the PBS Frontline documentary about the death of Neda during the protests in Iran. So tragic! #
Watching Seven Samurai at work cause there's nothing to
do = my job is kinda nice. #
I really need to catch up on my Kurosawa and Hitchcock. I skipped the classics and jumped straight into experimental film in high school. #

Watching Paris, Texas. The scene where Harry Dean Stanton talks to his son under a freeway is exactly where I crashed my scooter. Neato! #
These movies are what LA really looks/feels like to me – Paris Texas (the LA parts of course), Zabriske Point, Pulp Fiction. #

Courtesy of tylenol PM I dreamt about winning an oscar for playing lisa simpson last night. Most insane dream I've had in a while. #
This saturday at 5:30 I'll be performing as part of CLOSER 104.7, a radio collaboration between LACE and Jeff Cain at the ArtLA fair. #
Goodbye JD Salinger. Sad. #
Had an amazing afternoon at Closer 104.7 with Yann Novak and Justin Varis and the excellent people from LACE. The set sounded great! #
A short video of my live set from the show yesterday! http://vimeo.com/9100647 #

Saw Avatar. Amazing looking, but the whole Noble Savage thing is so 19th century. #
Spent this weekend editing 30+ min of piano strings bowed with fishing line into something useable. #
Also got an adapter to connect my camera and my telescope. It was cloudy though so I just recorded raindrops on distant branches. #
This I09 article about Avatar and race is A+. The ultimate white male fantasy of quenching guilt by going native. http://j.mp/8Rtlvc #
This NPR article on Avatar discusses the Noble Savage myth. Good point that science isn't the bad guy, a welcome change. http://j.mp/7fGwbT #
Taking advantage of a rainy sick day to catch up on some video and sound work for upcoming projects. #
Getting ready for a show at the Pacific Design Center next Saturday. Going to be using samples I recorded in Big Sur last year. #
I like this. RT @dornobdesign Self-Auctioning Art Object Perpetually Sells Itself on eBay http://bit.ly/4Pk0VB #

I love when a handful of tracks you've been working on start converging into a larger structure, and you realize you have an album forming. #

Two new Sublamp tracks are coming soon on compilation cds from Duckbay and Untitled & After. New record + new video project soon! Busy!! #
I don't care if there was no year zero. 2010 = new decade. Totally arbitrary either way. #
Wish we counted from the earliest records of civilization. Having the switch from -1 to 1 in the middle of the reign of Augustus is lame. #
This is scary. The ultra-conservative Texas School Board and how it influences what gets into textbooks. Via @pzmyers http://j.mp/6rcn5t #
Just watched Che Part 1. Awesome so far. Need to take a break before continuing on with Part 2 though. Over 4 hours long. #
♬ 'Sombre Reptiles' – Brian Eno ♪ http://b1t.me/yi #
Neato, I like that I can post what's playing in the iPhone to Twitter. Not so sure I like that the album art gets posted on my site though. #

While the rest of the country freezes to death, I just had to take off my sweater cause it was a bit to warm. Southern California is nice. #
I want cannibals from The Road to eat Denzel Washington and his stupid sunglasses in The Book of Eli. #
Seriously, The Book of Eli is about people killing each other for a bible in apocalypseland. Gross. #
Gonna read Death From the Skies! by skeptic of the year @BadAstronomer next. Super excited to be very worried about astronomical disaster. #
Suddenly my iMac has no Bluetooth. WTF? #

I just uploaded a video looper/mixer device I made to maxforlive.com! Check it out: http://j.mp/6HoAPo #
Gonna be in sanfran for the rest of the week! Anything we need to see while up there that a southern californian wouldn't know about? #
Just saw La Bamba from the Tonight Show Band at the mall. Hehehehehehehehehehe cool. He wears that hat in public too. #
Happy new years! Goodbye terrible 00's! #
The highlight of the SF trip was watching a girl feed grapes to fruit bats at the California Academy of Science. Adorable. #
Traffic! That means we're back in LA! #
Hi 405 freeway I missed you. #
