I’m in LA now. I found a cafe in Pasadena that has free wifi called Second Cup on Fair Oaks near Colorado. I’m staying at Kevin’s place. Kevin, Randall, and I went to an art show last night for a faculty from UCSD, Ernie’s show.

Shawn from KLDP and his wife had their baby! Congrats!

On the flip side, found out a friend from high school, John Rackers, passed away this week. Total bummer…

After much delay, Cabbage, my server at UCSD is back on-line at CRCA. Now SCALE Journal can now exist once more.

Man, I upgraded to using D-bus when I did:

emerge world

Now, I can’t get my feedreader to work…On a side note, I’m getting much more work done now :) Maybe I will leave it d-busted.

I did get d-bus to work, but there are still bugs in the installation on gentoo. Time to get out the iron.

I found a good home for my hamsters. I hate to give them away…but I figured to give them to a kid is the best attention they could get :)

Heavier Version of Myself

Dan found picture of a guy that looks like me but heavier. Cool.

Hey, while I drove 8+ hours today I thought about how basically all vocalists sing over themselves these days heavily. Also, I started to deconstruct how all the bars of hip hop loops are put together and how singers basically sing a few good takes and then the producer just loops the parts, cuts and pastes, and so on. When you listen to music now, these processes are completely transparent, yet are so ambiently modern. Honestly, try thinking about how a popular song is constructed while listening the next time…its quite amazing…think aural user interface!
