I'm a firm-believer in mixing with vinyl, but this is so sweet, it almost makes me want to cry.

"Audiopad is a composition and performance instrument for electronic music which tracks the positions of objects on a tabletop surface and converts their motion into music. One can pull sounds from a giant set of samples, juxtapose archived recordings against warm synthetic melodies, cut between drum loops to create new beats, and apply digital processing all at the same time on the same table. Audiopad not only allows for spontaneous reinterpretation of musical compositions, but also creates a visual and tactile dialogue between itself, the performer, and the audience."

Casting Call

Sooner or later, someone will come along and make a new "Grizzly Adams" movie. Who should star in it? Should Willie Nelson reprise every Denver Pyle role?

Let's get it on

I've never played Ultimate before, but I'm not letting that stop me from taking part in the big pick-up game on Sunday at Chester Bowl. You should play, too. It's an open invitation.

If you don't know the rules, this should explain things good enough.

The plan is to play every summer Sunday at 10 a.m., rain or shine. This week is the first week. Everyone is going to be out of shape and uncoordinated, so don't be embarrassed.

Morning routines.

What are your morning routines?

Me.

Get up.

Make coffee.

Change the DVD's

Watch my favorite vlogs while drinking coffee

go to work.

Michael Jackson found innocent of all charges.
In other news, Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson will be teaming up to form a crime-fighting duo! They will search for their adversaries, "The Real Killer" and "The Real Molester".

Sleepwalking

So, what's the weirdest thing you've done while asleep? I wrote this story today about sleepwalking.

I also had a dream this morning that I was making faces at a dog. According to my girlfriend, I was making those faces in my sleep. She just laid there and watched the show.

Fun! And creepy too! Creepy fun!

Yo KittyKats!

Can you believe it? PDD will be 2 years old this month. That means it is time to pay up for Hosting Services and Domain Name registration. This all comes to about $140 bucks a year and gives us unlimited bandwidth.

I personally don't mind footing the bill because I love having this community space. However if any of you all are feeling a bit generous I have set up a Fund Drive where you can donate any amount of moola via PayPal. Just click on the logo below!



Thanks in advance for your support. If you are not comfortable using PayPal but would like to contribute, send me an email (starfire at gmail dot com) and stay tuned for some exciting changes to PDD coming up this month!

Tick Tally

How many ticks have you pulled off yourself so far this spring? Right now I'm tied at one with my girlfriend and her dog. The dog gets extra credit though, because he got a good chunk of his neck chewed off.

With all the rain, we haven't really spent a lot of time in the woods, but we still keep finding these nasty little bloodsuckers around the house.

Anyway, let's keep a running tally and see who ends up being the 2005 tick champion of Duluth. I would rather it not be me, but if it is I want credit.
