A very solid track that moves with house and trance influences alike. This guy is someone to watch as he continues to get into producing his original materials. Check out his Soundcloud page for an impressive batch of pop remixes (electro-pop style).
Summer is here, and this is proof. Weather be damned in Seattle!
Post Alley awesomeness.
I *need* this. ;)
A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a…

I forgot I had taken this picture with my phone in May. We were sitting outside of a coffee shop and had Zephyr hold a treat on his nose. He drools like crazy sometimes, and here’s the proof!
I had to give my mom a ride tonight. Since I had no gas I went to the station to fill my tank.
There’s a dude there, a very thin and hungry looking fellow. He tries and help you with either filling the tank or cleaning your windshield. Just so you give him some spare change.
I never have cash…

I felt compelled to find and post a photo. I went browsing through the D90 group I joined on Flickr and found this on the second page. I love the color, the light, the composition, and the character of the photo.
I’m satisfied for now. I can’t wait to use my D90 (and learn more about using it).
What an incredible week (last week) and an even more incredible weekend. I have a lot to write about and need time to collect my thoughts, reflect on everything I experienced, and then work myself back into some grooves.
Writing, photos, music, work (day job), and getting back to some much needed time spent with folks.
Oh, and getting my new website posted.. but I guess that’s really part of the ‘music’ stuff anyway.
I can’t rest yet, there’s always so much to do! Maybe a little nap wouldn’t hurt.
I just got done with a fairly epic BBQ extravaganza to kick off the grilling season, and share food with some good friends and family. It also marks the last of such get-togethers as an unmarried man, since on Sunday the culmination of several months of planning peaks as Amy and I partake in our wedding ceremony and reception.
Whoa.. I get married in two days!
There is undeniable joy and satisfaction taking place in my life right now, such that words won’t do justice to what I am experiencing. I am, however, looking forward to having the time again to attempt to chronicle and capture all of this positivity in writing and music.
Until that time, I must keep things short and sweet.

A song allowing me to burn just a little more midnight oil.
I’m sitting here working on some wedding stuff (well, now posting to my blog, but w/e) while Will Foster is chillin’ doing some graphic design on the couch 6 feet away from my desk.
Whoa.. I’m getting married in 3 days… !!!
Life is cool. =D
This song is pretty damn intense! Excellent breaks meets film score production… this has elements that remind me of Hybrid. A rare gem.
Staining our back deck, that is. A little house work in full sun, requiring sun screen and an iced drink. It never felt so good. Damn, I have really missed the sun and this year has really shown me how much I love it. I think part of the desert soul in me is coming out as I experience more in life.
…since I was woken up ass-early for an on-call IT responsibility for my job, after having been up late the night before working my IT mojo supporting changes to our infrastructure. Damn, I’m tired, and I certainly don’t miss this!
Excellent! I’m continuing to customize my Tumblr as I have a renewed interest in it. I wanted a decent tag list or tag cloud and this is very useful. You can check out my implementation at the page “Tag Cloud!” link to the right.
Tycho posted about something I had talked about a few times with friends and my significant other. The proliferation and saturation of gadgetry into our lives.
I work for a wireless telco, and not too long before the flood gates were opened for touch-screen phones in the market, I had thought at great length about how my ‘standard kit’ of electronic gadgets included a cell phone, a laptop, a digital camera, headphones, mp3 player, and a usb pen-drive. That doesn’t include the non-electronics I will always try to keep with me (notebook and pen, for instance).
Now? I have an Android phone, my laptop, camera, headphones, pen-drive, added a hand-held sound recorder… wait.. nothing has changed! If anything I tend to carry MORE electronics for standard use.
I disagree with Tycho’s opinion in that I can’t just carry around one device that does it all *well* (camera for video and still photography, mp3 player, organizer, note taker, sound recorder, rich internet browsing and time wasting), but I’ve always been saying that Apple is nailing it on the head as they continue to knock on the door of developing the ‘almost-perfect’ all-in-one device.
Think about it.. with the new phones you see now (iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S), you have amazing on-the-go capabilities for organizing your life, email, contacts, phone, music playing, video watching, HD video recording, decent camera, and over-sharing via social media. What more could you ask for??
That’s why Apple has done so well. They were the first to get closest to well-functioning all-in-one mobile devices that were user friendly and fairly reliable.
That’s not to say you can just OWN one of these all-in-one devices and be set. You still have a need for a real keyboard-based computer (large creative tasks like full music production, photo work, writing, etc), real full-size point and shoot or SLR cameras for quality, etc.
Yet for on-the-go recording of life and sharing with others… where the bulk of the use of consumer level gadgets comes into play… That’s where I sit back and become amazed even with my less-than-awesome Motorola Cliq running an “old” version of Android.
This is a beautiful mix by one of my favorite DJs and producers. Jody Wisternoff delivers the INTENSIFIED series of DJ mixes monthly, so I was ecstatic to see and hear this mix for June. Somehow, it relates to a lot of positive feelings and things I have going on in my life right now (getting married, opening my eyes to the beauty of life, reconnecting with friends and family…).
Download this one, or stream it online while you are working, playing, chilling, cooking, eating, napping, day dreaming… ^_-
I’m about to head to bed, and I don’t really have much to say. I’m just putting out a test post here to see how Tumblr displays the RSS feed for this category. I’m having my own creative warfare in…
Tumblr might end up being the hyper-active portion of my computer-based musings, while my “journal” on sliptide.com is somewhat of a… music/art-based post repository.. hmmm..
Time for bed. Sleep breeds creativity, and let’s tomorrow treat me well.
..I shouldn’t be so disappointed with Tumblr. I’m sure it has its uses outside of the realm of my ‘journal’ on my sliptide.com site.
The new design for sliptide.com came together and works very well to represent my music. It will work better to represent my music + art projects as time marches on.
The “journal” section of the new design (which can’t be seen yet since the new design isn’t online) will suffice for a music journal, but I’m wondering about more personal items or travel entries and how to handle those. I think I still would rather use Wordpress on sliptide.com to manage that material, I just need to make sure I’m making appropriate categories and using tags to the best of my organizational ability.
