So, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m not posting more frequently, I haven’t finished any long books, and my kitchen is too small to cook in.
Sorry? Grab a link to the blog feed and you’ll be the first to know when a post comes out. I’ve been doing a lot more programming and less writing about it lately. Hopefully I’ll be able to post the fruits of my labor soon.

In the process you get to play around with different displacements and get new weird self-remixes. It’s kinda fun, but still a penalty because you have to stop what you’re doing.

The Oregon Symphony, based in Portland, represents the upper range of community orchestras in this survey.
