Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 -- Ow. Had a garage sale this past weekend, got to sit outside in the sun all day. Wee! Really, it's good for my skin, to get burnt to a crisp every now and again. My face and arms still hurt. Skin cancer, here I come!

In less life threatening news, I've been playing Audiosurf since it was released on Steam, and have only just done something worth showing anyone. Check me out playing "Come On" by Andy Hunter.

This, it seems, is my life. Jealous?


Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 -- Listen up, you miserable bums! I'm on YouTube. Yeah, I spell it with the capital T. Deal with it. Now go check out my stupid movies.


Wednesday, August 8th, 2007 -- So there was a friggin' tornado in Brooklyn today. An EF 2, or some nonsense. Whatever, I just have some stuff to show off. Do your standard right click and save here, the files are pretty big ('specially that last video). Left 'em full quality so's you could get the full effect.

We noticed some heavy rain on the LIE on the way in. Harmless enough, and it looked pretty damned cool rainin' sideways.

Eventually, after reaching a dead stop, and heading back up the on ramp to the service road, we reached the root of the problem. I think the owner might need new upholstery.

Of course, some people had no trouble at all, and just rolled right on through.

You like that? It's like the links are right there, in the middle of the sentence! Obnoxious, I know, I'll stop now. There are more pictures and a bit more video, but nothing really worth uploading. There was also a video of the ride in, with all sorts of rain and oddly silent lightning, but at five and a half minutes and over seventy megabytes, I don't think anyone'd be interested. Let me know if you really want it, I can always stick it up for a while.


Saturday, May 12th, 2007 -- Man, I'm on fire with these updates! Now if only I had something worthwhile to say.

Wanted to throw up a link to some more Half-Life 2 crap of mine, a basic physically simulated train: simtrainstest.zip

Since it's almost six thirty in the morning, and I didn't get any sleep last night, I ain't typin' anything else here. Details are in the readme, anyway, so close your cram hole and deal with it.


Wednesday, May 9th, 2007 -- Always important to put that year in there, or future generations might forget when I spoke my most compelling words. I almost want to say it looks dumb, but I save old versions of this page; the year is there for my benefit.

Just wanted to throw up a little note, ever since I mentioned my map on Something Awful, I've had a few people grab Ninchairs, even though it's not mentioned or linked anywhere on this site anymore. I mean, it wasn't, before I typed that. Don't know how you Internet Detectives found it, but nice work. Those of you who haven't downloaded it can save yourselves the time. Just wanted to explain myself to those initial six people.

The movie is my first, and was clearly never finished. Shot back in 2003, a friend was back home from college for a little while, I wanted to get something done while I had the chance. Inspired by Star Wars Kid, we worked this up in a few minutes, shot it on the fly. Unfortunately, my Beachtek's switch was accidentally set to Line when it should've been Mic; without any useable location audio, I needed to use sound effects, which I never got around to adding. No music, either. It's horrible, but it was fun to shoot.

Sorry you guys waited through the download, even as small as it is, to watch that.


Thursday, May 3rd, 2007 -- It's friggin' May already. What the hell?

So CI Host finally got with the program, upgraded to LiveStats 8 for our hosting statistics from 6.2. Actually lets me see bandwidth usage for individual movies now, instead of just lumping all MOV and WMV files into "Other". Nice to find out how each of my masterpieces is doing. Now if only there were a way for the software to see through PHP files I could figure out which forum threads you guys are all coming from.

As far as the Half-Life 2 section goes, collapsypants has been downloaded forty-one times this week already; what's the deal with that? It's been two and a half years, I didn't think anyone still gave a rat's ass. Or did in the first place. But hey, you want the map, be my guest. Hope you enjoy.

One question, what are all of you singingfish visitors searching for that leads you here? I started seeing the place listed in the "Referring URLs" section a few months ago, and saw that it's AOL's audio/video search engine. Are there any real people being led here from a search, or are you all spiders?


Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 -- Well, it's 2007. Happy New Year.

Okay, that's enough of that. The movie I mentioned below was finished as expected. It turned out quite well, if I may say so myself, and it even tied for second place in the contest. Not too shabby, considering the competition we were up against.

In an effort to save the director, Mike, from some unnecessary bandwidth usage, I've hosted "Two Guys in the Woods by a River" here. The Quicktime version can be found here, but though I think it looks better, it's also around eighty-nine megabytes, so you may want to grab the Windows Media copy here to save yourself some time.

There's also a little behind the scenes footage here, if you're into that kind of thing. A few bloopers, some unused takes, and some making of stuff that shows off the cable rig that let us get those fancy shots in the woods.

Those so inclined would do well to check out the rest of the entries, and see what everyone had to say about ours.


Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 -- All right, a clean slate! Front page looks kind of empty now, but less clutter is always good, right? Right. Did some more trimming, as well; no need for an "About" page on a website nobody visits, you know?

So four months (to the date, I believe) after finishing it, my second short film, also my second entry in The DV Challenge, has been added to the "Movies" page. I'm not doing so well with site updates, my apologies to both of you. I'll do better next time, I promise. Matter of fact, DVC 7 is currently underway, and though I'm not entering a film of my own this time (perhaps...there's still some time left 'til the deadline, I may yet get an idea), I did some work on another entrant's movie this past weekend. Went up to High Falls, a little town near New Paltz, to do a little acting. A little grip work, too, but my main contribution was looking like a doofus on camera. The contest deadline is this Sunday, midnight Pacific time, three AM on my coast. I can't wait to see how it turns out, and I'll throw a little note up here as soon as I'm allowed.
