Recently posted on Facebook: Thank you all for the recent birthday wishes – it’s appreciated. It’s a little tough because 2 days after my birthday – the 18th – was the 1st anniversary of my mother’s death, and that’s going to be kind of a thing for the rest of my life now… as some…

We recently had a tremendous rain overnight and all three pumps in the basement failed…so we got a ‘nice’ flood downstairs. What is insane is that the back pumps – there are two – one was on a marine backup on a car battery (in case the power went out) — the battery, though hooked…
RIP Log Lady.
Honestly it’s been years since I’ve watched any real late night ‘talk show’ but I feel now, as a man closer to my 50’s than my 20’s that tonight there’s going to be some sort of mechanism — some sort of rollover — some large metal lever will be turned and the late night human…

At the Unity Roadshow today in Boston going over all of the latest goodness in Unity 5 — like light bouncing and audio mixer. The audio mixer is cool but it’s a pretty basic DAW – snapshots and blending between them. What I’d love is a great audio sequencer / musical synthesis library. I…
Ah, just found out via Facebook that Toys R Us won’t be renewing it’s lease at the Times Square location when their lease is up next February. It’s been about 15 years since a young grimmy (eh, not that young) helped with the programming and installation of all the fun in that place. I wonder…
Really loved the BBC production of Good Omens. Reminded me of my I’ve of old radio serials and what we were trying to do with the Secret Adventures of Captain America. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04knt4h
Something to play around with in the coming weeks…. Oh if only Thomas Dolby’s Beatnik plugin still existed. LOVED that thing in Director. > http://www.thefuntastic.com/2014/04/the-misadventures-of-unity-and-puredata-libpd/

Something else I’ve got to make time for… I mean *when* I have time to make. > http://hackaday.com/2014/12/13/midi-keyboard-with-frickin-laser-keys/
I’ve been thinking of starting a Unity or Rails / Rubymotion group near Hartford CT. Good tips to be found here. http://blogs.unity3d.com/2014/12/11/building-a-user-group-in-your-area/
Something else I’ve got to play around with – I’ve been looking at Meteor for some time – it’s funny how things repeat themselves; reminds me of Ape in PHP, or just regular socket messaging — but this is a nice gem that works similarly to Meteor. The same code runs on the client and…
Came across this great article about creating ActionAlly, the author’s first RubyMotion application. > http://actionally.com/dev/how-i-built-my-first-native-osx-app-in-just-6-weeks-using-rubymotion/
Very cool – a nice list to look over; there’s a few I need to check out — had looked at radiant and refinery before as part of an app engine. http://getprismatic.com/story/1418195261238?share=MjAwOTY4.MTQxODE5NTI2MTIzOA.cRL-Dot5WcnS5n1-sdhDWxowDV4
Found another track — this one definitely influenced from a lot of listening to Barkmarket (hence the goofy demo title). Once again the fabulous Phil Puleo on drums (Cop Shoot Cop, Swans), me on everything else. This being the house in Rutherford I rented on my own, I remember running the snake from the living…
