2.25.2008 Indeed!

Hey there.

Let's cut through the riff-raff. You want to know what's going on with us? We want to tell you. Let's make this happen. First, you should know that we received perhaps our final snow of the season this weekend. It wise nice to see a little bit of the old powder before it starts warming up.

I've been old-schooling the new school, taking the little snippets of code out on the blacktop and destroying them in a rowdy game of 3-on-3. This semester is amazing, and all of my classes are pretty darn fantastic. If you want, check 'em out. Design & Education / Max/Msp 2 / Compuation Major Studio / Physical Computing / and the oft-mentioned Magic++. I've also updated the links page to include some of my CDT buddies. Enjoy!

The cocktail-making business is A-plus. Nathan "The Gentleman" Dumas has taken me under his wing, ferrying me on quests and bestowing on me the classic literatures of years past. We've filmed a new Cocktail Kitchen, and I hope to have it up by the end of the week.

We went to the opening of the Michel Gondry "Be Kind Rewind" exhibit at Deitch a few weekends ago. Very playful and light-hearted stuff here, almost like being allowed entry into one of his music videos. If you're in New York, you should swing by and give it glimpse. Make a movie there if you have time.

And, towards the future: this weekend we and the Lami graws will take Philly by storm. There will be amazing times, and there will be pictures posted. We promise (fingers crossed).

Well, we're out of time. Thanks for chatting with us for a bit. We hope everything in your neck of the woods is top notch, and let's talk more soon.

Cheers!

2.12.2008 Experiment

1965 dodgers
Ah, the magic of C++.

This is what it would look like if you took every Topps card from the 1965 World Championship Dodgers and composited them into one card.

It may be snowing in New York city, but Spring is waking up in our hearts.

Enough with the baseball? You want more nerd-talk, you say? Well, my friend you are in luck. Visit our Magic++ page to see more code in action. It'll keep you up at night!

I threw this together for my Coldfusion class. I call it my "Random Friend Generator." I thought some of you might like it. Make sure to refresh the page a few times to see all the awesome possibilities.

9.12.2007 Art Video

I just finished a piece for one of my classes. It is a social criticism of the upper middle class and their cathartic relationship with main-stream media, especially focusing on the destructive culture of fear. I think it is pretty successful, though a but cloying at times.

What are your critiques?

Too obvious?
