Computer Science meets Motion Design
Something Cool is going on in the brotherhood of technology and graphic design: collecting 3D information from single plane images by mapping the dimension for movement. Other projects from the same team have come up with a multi-screen sync for iphones that align next to each other to create a single larger viewing area. And...
New Pop Music is Radiohead
Radiohead seems to fit well as a poster child of the current Pop Music. They have taken the sentiments typical of Pop Art and electromagnify it. The attitude of ambivalence and conflicted duality seem to be expressed in the sonic compositions. They blend electronic transformation with traditional instrumentation of rock or alternative music. They utilize...
My Cigar Box Slide Guitar
A few months ago I was working on making my own instrument from a cigar box. There are many guitars made out of odds and ends, and cigar boxes have been popular for do-it-yourself blues players since pre-war legends. Being an amateur craftsman with wood, I made the best out of my skills and the...

The latter may be true, but the former is problematic....
My Portfolio is Ready
I have held out long enough in designing a “showcase” section for my website. I decided to gather some goodies for everyone to check out. Portfolio sounds too businesslike, but regular old folks can see what things I created without being a prospective customer, employer, or venture capitalist. You’ll enjoy it if you like art,...
347 Exercises You Can Do Without Equipment
There aren’t quite 347 exercises listed here yet, but there could be if you considered all the variations to each exercise, and if you added to the list yourself. Plenty of weight lifters try to swoon the ladies with their sexy bod, but in my opinion that is one of the least important benefits of...
Pink!?
I recently added a new color to my web scheme via CSS coding. I needed another color for secondary headings that complimented the others and pink is what I liked. For those who don’t know: I’m a guy, a dude, a man. I’m not homosexual, I just like all colors. And maybe it will increase...
Visual Inspiration
Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. It’s partly because the hinge on my Gateway laptop broke for the second time and had it repaired, and I’ve been busy with college.
