Atomisk Goth Dept.
The Goth department is taking things VERY SERIOUSLY.
Additionally, Microsoft is employing Goths!!!

The bird is dead now. They might bury it, or they might not. In much lighter news… EVERYONE needs this for their life: Take this Nintendo!!! Holy Retro!!
Post comment ///Day at the Castle
When we returned to the castle, we first went to the Troll’s house, although our base was really the chip house. I was stretched real bad. Not my fault this time. She gave me an Aloe plant to rub on. The teapot boiled over…..
…..when we finally got back to the chip house, we found a little girls shirt, a mangled bird, and feathers everywhere. The mystery remains unsolved. The decision we were forced to make, was whether to kill the bird or let it die miserably on it’s own. We chose the former out of cold blooded sheepishness.

done in the Devin Smith style (with an old laptop and no pesky midi controllers or things of that nature) while traveling recently.

You’ve all seen the new batman, I’m sure? With its lovely score by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer (and one guy who did “additional music,” one “scoring coordinator,” one “score production coordinator,” two “technical scoring engineers,” and a whopping eight [!] orchestrators)?
Anyway. So you know how there’s all those times where a handful of violins sit on a single note for a while? You know, for tension and what not? (for the uninitiated, a bad example **HERE**.) Well, the entire movie whenever this happened I couldn’t help but think of the very beginning of an album I recorded in 2006 – the track-in-question of which you can find **HERE**.
Funny, the similarities! And before you go thinking I’m making ridiculous accusations, I’m actually just pointing out massively blatant copyright infringement. I’ll expect my check in the mail.
Post comment ///miami public transit
Yesterday while I was waiting for the metrorail train to come, these two guys next to me started arguing, and eventually got into a pretty rowdy fistfight. The train came, and conveniently there were three metrorail security guards on the car by us… I mentioned to them that these guys were sort of in a fight, to which I got the reply – “Not my problem.” (They peek over at the two fighting guys-) “Knock him out, buddy!” proceeded by more heckling and encouragement.
Also recently on the metro, I saw probably the fattest man I have ever seen, and I overheard two pretty un-hip middle aged men discussing the prospects of meeting “wild women” at an upcoming Good Charlotte concert. It was decided that said “wild women” would be in attendance.
I love public transit.

A Robotic Love Affair
If only I could communicate directly with computer technology in binary code. Then I could navigate my way home. And into the hearts of millions.
