coming up next: big sur!

that show was great, thanks to r2 for getting there when he did, I literally died the day before the show, and so needless to say I was pretty worn out and glad to see r2. (I wasn't a rockstar until I woke up in the ambulance, now I'm a real rockstar!)

I'm nearly done with my methpsa, have to do some audio to it, if anyone gives a shit, I put up the test footy at youtube (http://www.youtube.com/stemcellfilms) its lame but worth living for, lol...

to millz: I just soundtrack pro working on my mac, and the zoom xlr audio recorder figured out. sometime after the bigsur show billie and dash are going to help me redub the audio and get this cemetary short online, it was worth waiting just a few extra weeks for clean audio in my opinion, because it'le look that much better.

millz, I never cashed the check, sorry about that, life got way to crazy and I figured you probably needed the money. hopefully we can get all that shit figured out about arkaos and the camcorder when you get back, for now just good luck (we all need it)

R2: ask for bigsur, we need to get that figured out, I'm still pretty worn out, I haven't driven in over a week but hopefully I'll be out and about again soon. It looks as though it's pretty much on me to get r2 and I up to big sur.

to r2: I'm kind of hoping you can be more in charge of getting this set up. I'll do what I can but I won't have much time until friday itself... I'll have my computer and harddrive ready, if you can come up with some sort of transportation case for the projector and wires, we'll probably be golden... I'm sorry I haven't been able to help more. If you need any help let me know and I'l try to do what i can. I don't want you to feel like its all on you or that you're the only one who cares, let it be written: I'm way down, we're going to make this happen.

good luck to everyone everywhere. I'm glad to not just be involved in creating video but in the actual evolution of it's presentation. It means more and more to me every hour of every day. -using two projectors blew my mind. it completley changed how I thought about "the zen of vj" or whatever we do.

not sure what else to say, just checking in. you know...

everyone take care!

boo-ya!

Thank you thank you thank you for everyone helping to throw that shit together last night. Needless to say it was successful, good turnout, no hyphy kids breaking shit, successful multi-walled projections (with lots of planet earth, Jem, and fractals). I do believe that a lot of people went through mad hellish nightmare style life shit just before the party happened, I personally was threatening to quit the studio and was a big emotional wreck earlier this week. But alas, the vibeiness prevailed and a good time was had by all. The music kept going well until the sun came up, at which point many people wandered up on the hill and chilled outside. Great job everyone

I wish I had the whole play-by-play story of what went down but I got at the party close to 1am when it was well underway with Byron Space Circus rocking it. Wubakia had a camera set up on a tri-pod back behind the gaybar/VJ area, I talked to them today and said that they will get me the footage ASAP. I will post that here as soon as I am able.

JEM! is outrageous ... truly TRULY outrageous (woa-oh-oh!)

scary drugs, ambulance, etc...

...I just got out of the ER, I don't have my car so my dad is going to drop me off at the paul sweet in an hour, 3pm, and I'll try to get what I can together.

I already put up the L-brackets, we need a better shelf though, I haven't found one.

things are close, I'll get some sets made for tonight, but I'm pretty wrecked...

regardless, tonight is going to happen, and be rad it will.

yo bloods,

I just did some work on the pbwiki. I posted my skillset because i'm an intrepid trailblazer. Then I made a page for all the skillsets (just make your name a link to your skillset when you post it) and put a link to that in the sidebar. There's also placeholders in the sidebar for Contacts, Equipment and Documentation. I figure we can create those pages when we have something to put there.

PBwiki is really fuckin dope and easy to use, especially for quickly whipping up a bunch of interlinked pages. I'm intrigued by the plugins - like the one at the top of my skillset that autogenerates a table of contents based on the header titles. Also the portfolio function looks cool but I havent dove into it yet. But it says you can use it to have pdfs, files, slideshows, etc on a wiki page.

Next step - get the massiveexchange igoogle going on, with different tabs for an RSS feed of this blog, feeds from our flickr accounts, pbwiki, calendar, etc.

h264. haha

ha. hahaha. hahahahaha. its 534 in the morning. and I just finally tried to use some of the files we've been importing in h264. you guessed it. there not supported. so I'm sitting here just thinking about everything i've been importing for the last few days, and how now all we have are a few clips of planet earth... I'm definitely going to convert the files. don't get me wrong, its just why? is there a plug in or something that can make arkaos play h264? I emailed them and hoped to find out...

Wednesday Confrence Call

sorry that it's a little bit of short notice. Me and Mikey were talking tonight and we would definitly like to get as many together as we can for another confrence call Wednesday. I got somet things I'd like to talk about and I will once again take notes.

Confrence call stats are as follows:
Dial in #: (712) 432-2600 (same # as last time)
Pass code: 44964

Think of some things that you'd like to talk about and hopefully we can keep propelling this massive shit onward into the future.
lox of love

idle important questions

12:55:pst

does anyone know how to use automator? I'd like to make a program that automatically clicks the (remind me later) button, on imtoo dvd ripper.

as it stands without a code [cocky me about serial seeker, couldn't find one :( \] you can get the 5 minutes, but you can easily batch import using the chapter selector, most of hte chapters are less than 5 minutes on the dvds so far... so I just have to sit here and wait for each chapter which takes hours, and then press remind me later...

how do I make automator do that for me?

if you dont tell me, I'll try to figure something out, sounds like a weird mission...
