Today I am feeling a little better but I am still pretty dang sick. Yesterday was horrible. Last night I decided to do something fairly simple so that I could make sure I was in bed early enough. I followed along another Greyscale Gorilla Tutorial. This one was like an intro to dynamics within […]
In an urge to get my creative thing done early enough to get to bed on time yesterday I last minute decided to make this giant bubble blower based on this Instructable. Unfortunately, I decided to do it around dusk and I couldn’t get any bubbles out of it. I was using this big bottle […]
Posting two at once tonight. I’m sorry for posting these ones so late. I believe I mentioned earlier about June picking up my sickness. Well, this weekend has been all about taking care of Junie. I had been meaning for some time now to help my buddy Jeff get set-up with the Bliptronome I […]
I spent the night in June’s room last night because the poor girl could only breath through her mouth and she was making all kinds of strange noises. Enough to make me worry. She was feeling better this morning though and went to bed quite well tonight. Todays creative thing involved beginning actual […]
Slowly but surely the construction of the Harmonograph continues. Sunday was a busy day watching after june. I didn’t get started on my creative thing until around 10pm at night. I did the work in my parents garage because my dad has all the good tools and I’m able to work later into the […]
Last nights creative thing was thoroughly satisfying. This Omnichord arrived at work for me yesterday. I purchased it off Ebay a little while ago. It was being sold as ‘not working’ because the previous owner had left the batteries in it and they got corroded and leaked. They were asking $99 […]
Wasn’t sure what to do last night for my creative thing. I was missing some important stuff from the hardware store to work on my Harmonograph so I went through things in my head to figure something out. I recently got a new catalogue in the mail from my friends at Grand Illusions and […]
I feel pretty good with my progress on the Harmonograph. Last night I attached both sides of the table together with a 3ft. hinge and I’m happy to say that it seems pretty stable. I think it’s going to work with all the weight I will soon be putting on this guy. I also […]
Last nights creative thing was both fun as well as frustrating. This little music box had been sitting on top of my refrigerator since Day 171 when I broke open a snowglobe to do some macro filming of the fluid inside. The moment I pulled it out from the bottom of that snowglobe I […]
Man, I hate to be posting so late but it always seems to happen this way on the weekends. This creative thing was friday night. It has been busy and a small monkey-wrench was thrown into my weekend plans. Directly after work I drove home to drop off my stuff and give June a […]
Yesterday was very busy. Jenny got up at 7am and left to help our friends Jeff and Wendy with their 2nd Operation Art Gardens Cactus and Succulent sale. It’s a sale and fundraiser that Jeff put together to help the arts at the public schools he teaches at. He puts a lot of work into […]
A while back on Day 113 my pal Dantes called me up because he had built this rig for shooting stereoscopic images with two SLR cameras. And since we both had the same camera with the same lens we decided to go out that night to shoot some 3D pictures. It was pretty cool to […]
Yeeesh! Posting a day late on this one. This creative endeavor took place on Monday night. I always seem to forget that when I do a film shoot for my creative thing that I then have an editing project for the next day. This particular piece I had trouble some trouble cutting. Most of my […]
If you read yesterdays post you’d know that I didn’t have much time to come up with something to do for my creative project last night. As the clock ticks by many options go out the door because of their complexity and amount of effort involved. This evenings creative thing was virtually effortless, thankfully. I received […]
It’s been busy at work this week. Last night I stayed there until around 11:30pm. I was going a little crazy having a lot of trouble with an edit that I said I’d have done a day ago. I needed to get it done for the next day only every time I sat down to […]
As I drove home the usual thought of “what am I going to do for my creative thing?” ran through my head. The initial idea was to work on my Harmonograph table which I started a whole two weeks ago. The main thing that changed my mind was the amount of work I’d […]
I wanted to get my creative thing done early today because my friend Steve Elkins was having the unofficial premiere and screening of his documentary “The Reach Of Resonance” tonight. I had to make it and I knew it was going to be a late night. I decided to do another sunprint. You can […]
This saturday Jenny and I met up with our friends Jeff and Wendy for a little weekend getaway in Palm Springs. Most of the day was spent perusing the retro furniture stores on the main drag in downtown Palm Springs. Pretty much just looking because most of them are exorbitantly over-priced. I actually picked […]
A new Monome Community Remix Project is underway. I’m hosting this one and when I sent out the sample pack I instructed everyone to try an app that they’ve never used before. So on this evening (Sunday evening) I decided to follow my own advice. The monome app that I chose is called “xor“. It’s […]
I got a phone call at 5:50 that resulted in me having to stay late at work until about 8-8:30 at night. As I have said in many of my recent posts my initial plans were to work on the unfinished harmonograph collecting dust in my parent’s garage. Due to the time, I opted to […]
Last night was the first night in awhile that I’ve been able to put some effort into my harmonograph. If you’re just arriving or haven’t seen my previous posts regarding this thing, here is a short recap: On Day 192 I took apart an old magnavox record console that I found in an alleyway. […]
What a day! It has been very busy lately. I had to wait until the end of the work day to post. I almost missed this one as well. Last night Jenny came home from her pottery class and went straight to bed. I went in to tuck her in and fell asleep until around […]
Todays post is still sort of just a preliminary post because my computer is still rendering. UPDATE: It’s finally done and ready for viewing below. Read the description beside the * to understand what you’re seeing. Last night, like most nights lately, I was unsure and a little uninspired. I was going to work […]
This evening I had a simple jam night with Jeff. I also tested out a Monome App in progress called Loopy. The developer, a man named Bongo, has been making adjustments to the apps live looping functionality and I was lucky enough to test it out. Unfortunately, I ran into a couple obstacles in the […]
The weekend weather has been overcast and gloomy. Saturday consisted of watching June until the early afternoon. Jenny took over around two so that I could go and work on my Harmonograph table before dinner. It was going to be my creative thing for the day except it turned out to be more like multiple […]
