I heard about this phenomenon - Logophobia - during an interview with Rodney Ascher, director of Room 237. I guess his previous work before Room 237 was The S from Hell, a documentary short about Logophobia. Searching Google for related info led me to this video. Very interesting. Someone said, "the medium is the message." Interesting.
Super proud of these shots. Happy to share them. More coming soon. Stoked!

This week, I began working with black metal band Inquisition (Season of Mist) on promo materials for their new record, "Obscure Verses for the Multiverse", out later this month. Really good work by all and everyone is treating me really well thus far. Can't wait for fans and followers to see the results! Looking good! Stay tuned!

Stoked. Link was on the front page today and there is a good review of the record. There is also a SoundCloud stream of the track, Milk from Treason. Go check it out! Article permalink.
You can now pre-order worldwide! Do it!
Completed in late 2012, the new Great Falls record, "Accidents Grotesque" , will become available at our vinyl release show in Seattle on Fri, Oct 4. Very excited about this. Records (with download codes) will be available starting then. Please visit Hell Comes Home, our label and distro in Ireland for purchases worldwide. Thanks for waiting, everyone. The record looks and sounds amazing. Super proud of our work. I played drums and did post-production.
... but to a lot of people, it certainly is not. Please don't text and drive. Whatever you have to say can certainly wait, and it should. You should. Please watch and please do really really consider. Thanks.
For about the past year, I've been learning to cook. I'm kinda good at it, it seems. I've been reading lots of things and watching lots of things and I have been putting what I'm learning into practice very simply and easily in the kitchen. Simplicity and first principles are key!
Last night, I saw this episode of PBS's, The Mind of a Chef. The whole series' perspective is on the gastronomy side of cooking and food. Very science-ey and pretty amazing; like artists and scientists who are very into the minutiae of what they do - how it's all connected, the technical details - not for the sake of, but with purpose and depth. At a certain point, this low-level technical work and understanding is necessary, IMO, no matter the discipline. I can totally appreciate the approach; I try to practice such things, myself. There is always more to explore on any topic, more chances to go deeper and to notice more things and more subtle inner workings.
Anyway, this episode is mostly about Eggs. That's it. Eggs. If you have only a casual notion of what cooking eggs is or what it could be, you are in for a treat. Eggs benedict lovers, this means you.
Do check it out, regardless of whether you cook, as I believe there are lessons to be learned and applied to any pursuit you enjoy. Leave a comment below with your thoughts. Oh, and please support PBS.
Very excited. Always updating. Please check back often for new stuff. I am especially going to keep this blog up to date with interesting things and I am going to keep the Events section up to date with shows, appearances, and other interesting dates!
Here is an interesting article I read today. Software design and environments and playability and infinite outcomes. Most of all, compelling. If you don't already read BldgBlg regularly, let me humbly suggest that you do.
I visited Death Valley for the first time in January 2013. I had a car and my camera and nothing but time. I was interested in visiting Zabriskie Point, the spot featured in the Antonioni film of the same name. Here are two shots I took. More to follow.
