This isn’t quite a whole song yet, more of a theme that should find its way into some sort of song. I’ve been experimenting with simple octave melodies with the right hand, which will hopefully help develop a (much needed) more involved left hand technique. Named after this lego set.

Just recorded this piece. It’s titled after this lego set, which is probably the best thing I ever got as a child. Was a bit unsure of the tempo and arrangement I wanted, so I played without a click track (you’ll notice some temporal inconsistencies and a general lack of confidence). Performed on a Roland RD-700SX and rendered with TruePianos.

I instantly shuddered when I checked pc.ign.com today. The background and most of the “content” area (btw, where is the actual content?) is flooded with some ad campaign. Worst part is, the ads are terrible, both in fashion (awful colors) and function (what is it even advertising?). Whatever it is, I’ll make sure to not buy it.

My grandmother has this photograph of her grandfather. He’s my dad’s mom’s mom’s dad. His last name was State, and he immigrated from Germany and settled in Iowa, where he met my dad’s mom’s mom’s mom. This makes me a fourth generation American, at least through this lineage.

Just checking Flock out, and trying its built-in blog posting ability. Seems like a pretty slick little browser, albeit with a lot of unnecessary baggage. Most of its functionality can be accomplished with bookmarks and rss feeds, but not as slickly as it does it.
