Generative Art Show @ February First Friday

I’ll be displaying and selling prints of various generative pieces like Jellyfish, and I’ll also be projecting video of the pieces being generated, probably with my music as well. I’ll be at the outdoor festival grounds […]
Jellyfish Updated

After a certain threshhold, thin doesn’t matter. My MacBook Pro is plenty thin at, what, 1.5″ wide? The Air has one USB port, no FireWire, […]

Another Random Thought Of The Day
In wake of the Gizmodo thing from CES, I keep seeing comments saying “They just should have secured their IR ports. It’s a security lesson.” Well, know what? When I walk up to you on the street and slap your teeth out of your head, and then kick you in the stomach hard with my […]
