051 Classes Begin

This semester here’s what’s on the agenda: Advanced Sound, 581B (finishing Sound Design on Randy Riggs’ “Spaceboy”), Prepping the Documentary CTPR-531, and Script Analysis CTWR-516. Also I will lead SA (Student Assist) 546N Sound again and hopefully for the last time, and Kirk Sullivan will be my wingman as the second 546N Sound SA. In between all of this I shall do other miscellaneous and occasionally fun things of which yet I know little but expect much.

MobileWhack’s Pipe Dream about Apple’s Phantom iPhone

http://www.mobilewhack.com/handset/apple_iphone.html

For the past few days now I’ve been scouring the net for something like this phone. It doesn’t exist. It won’t exist for a long time. Apple and cell phones? Well, it would have to be a GSM phone. What about EDGE? By the time that happens, Cingular will have rolled out its nationwide UMTS network and the phone will need “updating” ($$$). But wait, isn’t that how this technology game is supposed to work?

I don’t know. All I know is I need a new cell phone and Steve may pull a rabbit out of his hat at MWSF 2005, but he might not. Things are good, and they’re only getting better. We must look to the future but relish what we have in the present because there’s always something better on the horizon.

Osophy Dump

The behavior of a government does not necessarily reflect upon the behavior of its people.

An individual unwilling to entertain an alternative viewpoint is unworthy of my time.

One who is unwilling to listen is also afraid: afraid that he may be wrong.

We are all wrong.

11/10/04: “In one’s quest to find all that is there, one is bound to find that which is not.”

12/24/04: “On the road of life, there are no speed limits.” (Much like how Montana used to be.)

System 5F T616 BG

I thought I’d make this Sony Ericsson-suitable background jpeg available to all you cool cats out there who want a close up of the Euphonix System 5F on your mobile. Took it myself. Enjoy.

Chocolatey Chip Goodness

Come on now, who doesn’t like chocolate chip pancakes? What’s not to like? On one hand you have the chocolate chips. Mmmmm. And on the other hand you have pancakes. Mmmmm. Add some butter and maple syrup and you’ve got yourself a carbo-choco-loaded confectionary creation/sensation. Suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and rotting your teeth. 🙂

Happy New Year and Generic Status Update

So I figure I’d better post an update in here lest someone actually read this blog. Went to Indiana (Elkhart) for X-mas, saw family, ate a lot, gained a pound or two. Came back. It’s snowing now in Denver. I’m heading back to L.A. before too long. Probably on Saturday or whenever this storm passes. It’s late now so I’m going to bed. A whole lot of sleepin’ to do.
