Today is my Xanga’s 250th day. That’s right, it’s the “quarter mille”.
I finally did my laundry today. I’ve been keeping myself busy enough that I have been way behind.
For my student government position I often administer surveys to
various groups of students. The other day I made three different
mockups of a single survey I’m about to give to the entire student
body. I presented these mockups to my Human Factors: Interface
Design class to let the students test them out. I learned quite a
lot from the process, and now I think the survey should be quite easy
to take (once I implement the best suggestions from the class).
This monday, the Data Destruction Tour is coming to Boston. The
Data Destruction Tour is the only tour I know of that specializes in
the tiny little subgenre of music known as lofi or 8bit or chiptunes or
gamemusic or about a million other things. The idea is to use
1980s computer technology or video game systems or similar sounding
synthesis techniques to make music. Hear some at micromusic.net.
I have considered burning a few CDs of a some songs I have written in
this style and giving them around to the people involved to sorta jab
myself into the scene a bit.
