Testing "BlogWriter Lite"

Fallout75 @ Live Spaces

2009-01-13T20:09:00.002-06:00

I'm starting to test out Microsoft's Live Spaces and utilize the Live Writer program.
I have to say that it's very easy to use and uploading images, etc. is really nice.

I might move my personal blog over that direction, we'll see...

Behold: Sansa C240

2008-10-03T20:22:00.003-05:00

So, The story continues. The iAudio U3 is now gone but what took it's place is the Sansa c240.
Why would I pick this player you ask? Well it was $19.99 at Buy.com. Although it's refurbished, It works and looks perfect. I installed Rockbox 3.0 on it and now it's capable of so much more.
I can play Doom, Tetris, Bejeweled etc on this thing now.
I like that it has a voice recorder like the iAudio U3 and that it's small. The nice thing about this 1Gb player is that is has a Micro SD slot to expand memory. The iAudio U3 1Gb was close to $200 when it first came out and wasn't expanable. The screen on the C240 isn't as good but that doesn't matter, I don't watch movies or look at photos on it.
Best part while running the Rockbox software, I can customize the theme to my liking.

R.I.P - iAudio U3

2008-08-21T21:23:00.003-05:00

My Cowon iAudio U3 finally kicked the bucket today. Many fond memories of listening to music, recording voice clips, moving data and watching super small movies on this device.

First of all I would like to point out that the joystick went out first, I could no longer advance tracks forward (which was a pain). Second, spilling CocaCola on it didn't help, but it still worked. Lastly taking the thing apart to try and fix the issues made out nicely for a cracked case.

With every ending, there is a new beginning. This now justifies why I should get and iPod Touch this September. ;)

Audible Environments

2008-05-22T22:57:00.002-05:00

I can't believe it's been a year since I last posted...wow... anyhow...

I've been re-discovering FSOL lately due to the fact that they are re-releasing old material and new stuff under different names. Their recent effort as "Amorphous Androgynous - The Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness" has been in rotation lately among all the "From The Archive" series. I have to say these guys are way out there, and through their music, you can go with them if you'd like. Through this re-discovery, I hold Garry Cobain and Brian Dougans right up there with Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto.

I'd love to own a home like this with a super small "green" car to drive around in down near the river. :)

Wired Magazine had an article on this "Condominimum"

End Result

It's interesting that there is techniques and software out there to make your images look old as if you used good ol' film to produce the image. It seems to me that people still like things that have character or a uniqueness about them while digital photos tends to be to somewhat sterile.

Photography is an art, but also what makes a good photograph is how it's delivered. This is why I'm not a photographic purist, I believe in the end result. I tend to like images that evoke emotion, good or bad. If looking at a certain photo makes you stop and think, then I believe that image has done it's job.

A Sad Day

2006-12-07T00:39:00.000-06:00

The story and loss of James Kim has affected me.
I never personally knew him but knew of him through the technology community.
James seemed to be a very nice guy and a great family man.

I remember watching him on Tech TV and he was reviewing printers and cameras and printed a photo of his daughter for a test sample, he seemed to be a proud parent and an obvious family man. The thing that strikes me about loss of James is that he died trying to save his family and didn't seem to give up. He died alone, cold and not knowing if his wife and 2 children would be found.

I know myself and many others were praying for him and his safety before and after his wife and children were found. I know he really wasn't alone though, because so many people were with him in spirit. My heart goes out to his family.

I recently took a trip to NASA in Houston, TX. The trip was great and I saw alot of things that sparked my imagination. I'm inspired to create again, paint, draw, make music, blog, etc.

It's amazing what happens once you take yourself away from day-to-day life and go explore something new, it can even change your life.

The DropSystem - Live!

2006-05-04T02:02:00.000-05:00

This is the first show I ever played as The DropSystem. I was the second opening act for Joy Electric. The song is entitled "Deceived" and got erased by accident later on. "Deceived" was later revamped as "Deceived 98' Acid Mix" on the "Through the Times" album.
