Excited about 2008... busy with many design projects both for clientele, satisfaction and for the people. Finishing up a new Cassettes album and many more electronic music creations with Triobelisk. Visit musical lands of mine on myspace: myspace.com/triobelisk myspace.com/thecassettes myspace.com/manandwasp It's weird to use the blogger engine - I think I like tumblr much more these days.

Contact for Nintendo DS is a great video game in it's execution of gameplay, art, and commentary such as in-game nods to net/nerd culture phenomenon. Read the wiki. I'm addicted.

I found some interesting mac apps in a Swedish mac magazine today. One that removes the shadows in your interface to speed up your general computing called Shadowkiller. The other a Safari speeder-upper. We'll see if it truly is speedier... I admit, windows does do the web much more efficient than a mac. And a little tale: while doing the Decahedron artwork I had to reboot into OS9 as my g3 iBook

If you haven't noticed via the opening page to this site, Passkontroll, the design collective that I am a part of has relaunched its website and now displaying many more designs than before. "MySpace is the death (and current life) of music." - Jake Brown

"I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity." - Brian Eno A thoughtful quote that reflects my recent musical leanings and challenges compositionally and sonically. I must also add that the Oblique Strategies widget I posted about a few posts ago has truly changed the way I do things

My buddy recently said: Robert Fripp has a saying I like, it goes something like "the job of the musician is to make music. The job of the professional musician is to make money. Avoid becoming the latter at all costs." I like this place. Make your reservations.

I have decided to incorporate Brian Eno's Oblique Strategy cards in my creative process via a widget. I don't know why and how it took me so long to discover this!
