Classic video...

This one still manages to put a big smile on my face...



How I spent my birthday...

So, on April 7th, 2010, I turned 35... I've never been one to follow tradition, therefore I didn't end up at a bar. I chose to have my family take me to The Farnsworth House in Plano, IL... The one designed by Mies Van Der Rohe in 1945-1951... In one trip, I was able to get back in touch with my family, with nature, AND with modern architecture!

I need this to be real...

I need to believe that this is not some clever marketing ploy
carefully designed to tug at our heart-strings with
the most spectacular animated short. EVER!
Written by a 5 year-old... Animated by a 29 year-old...
It's more amazing than you can even imagine!

Have you seen my website?

I'm guessing you haven't, since I just made it today.
I'll add more stuff soon...

Too Underground for MTV...

As a result of my A.D.D., or the fact that I'm an Aries, or my love of sugar as a child, my attention jumps from one project to another, often straddling various medium. One week I may be building a lamp and the next week I might be reupholstering a chair (even though there are countless other things I should be doing)...
This week, audio seems to have a good grip on my attention. Exploring my new Bleep-it has reminded me of the important role that music plays and the calming/healing effect it can have on my own life... especially when that music stems from within myself.
Today I downloaded Windows Movie Maker and attempted to use some of the random LED footage I've been filming and stockpiling. This video was a method of exploring Movie Maker, but I also consciously decided to use my new audio track in the hopes of having a somewhat-acceptable "music video" to unleash upon the world when I was done...
It's no OK-Go-Rube-Goldberg-video, but, whatever... Enjoy!

This came out of me last night...

LOL... dirty, dirty minds... anyway...
I am pleased with myself when I make things that are calm and relatively less chaotic...
but usually chaos reigns. I was tinkering last night and must have been relatively relaxed, because in less than an hour I had completed this track... I find it rather soothing...
