[ Hands-free cell phone ]
Since my company is too cheap to get unimportant code monkeys like me headsets, but we are required to attend pointless meetings anyway, I also frequently construct a hands-free from a rubberband.

Ah, this is exactly the sort of thing I come to spacebar.org for.
Incidentally, if I'm reading your space time display properly, you appear to have switched onto Daylight Savings (Space) Time prematurely. But without observing the blink pattern, it's hard to be sure. |

J8: Sorry, saturday I was X-C skiing! But a good guess. You can verify your hypotheses and track my every move by visiting tom7.motionbased.com. |

I was coming home from the giant Eagle Saturday, and I saw this person fly by on Ellsworth -- I thought, "wow, that guy looks fast!" When I turned on to Ellsworth and eventually caught up to the guy, I think it was you! I wasn't sure b/c I could only see him/you from behind. But if you are now able to warp space, it totally makes sense how you were so fast! |
| |
In the physical universe, the segments are also weirdly blinking and incrementing, as is proper for space time. |
| |
I would go down to the basement forthwith to convert my watch using the washer/dryer space time transmogrifier, but, alas, my watch ran out of batteries. And then my other watch ran out of batteries. It's been months, actually, and I still haven't gotten around to addressing the situation. For now, I remain timeless. And space timeless. |
| |
That picture causes me pain. I can't see the "image" in the watch properly, so I keep trying to fix it by getting a view from a different angle (like I would with any lcd in the physical universe).
It never works. |

[ Underground Onions ]
dig those drums, man |
| |
Man, that is one classy keyboard. |
| |
T: Well, give me a short list and I'll look for 'em... maybe the guitar wav tracks on their own would be good enough for remixing, but there's usually effects involved and sometimes multiple synchronized tracks, even without singing. So it's probably best if I can open them and export a mixed karaoke version.
G: Nope, I've just been slacking! But I'll try to get to it this weekend... |
| |
My english is not good enough to exactly get into the semantic undertones of the last alinea, but it sounds impressive! :-) |

You should upload all your albums in FLAC to the Internet Archive, where possible. That would be awesome. I like that idea.
I finally submitted the AAD I did -- also I resubmitted my friend's AAD, "10:03pm" by Mr Truffle, which apparently I forgot to include a link for before? (Based on an HTML comment in the listing.) If you were waiting for my submission before updating the site, that's really nice of you, and thank you, and you may update it now. If it was just a coincidence, well then, it worked out nicely!

I could probably find a way of opening sound files, assuming they're labeled sufficiently for you to figure out which album/track they're from. I'll try to figure out what other songs I'd be interested in first, so that you won't have to dig through the files for one song at a time. |
| |
Tadbot: Yeah, I usually record them separately, so I could probably hook you up with karaoke versions. The main problem is just finding those files and then opening them, since the older it gets, the less likely it is that I have the application still...
The pokemon jars one is "Permission." |
| |
after listening to the album some more, some of the songs are growing on me, but i'm at work now so detailed comments on it will wait for another time
do you generally record guitar + vocals at the same time, or separately and combine them in postprocessing? i've got alternate lyrics of some of your songs in my head, and was wondering whether it would be possible to get just the guitar parts for some (since i can't play guitar etc.) to record my own remix/parody/whatever versions of them
right now, i'm thinking of "Waiting Game" and that song that has lyrics of "colored to do list and pokemon jars" that I can't remember the name of at the moment |

And since when can you not sample in an AAD? I sampled lots in my second solo one (though mostly samples of myself, and mostly samples that I created that day), and Tom and I also sampled drumming for Phyzical Romance on our second AAD. I defy any such rule, utter bullwonk! |
| |
Yeah, EPP was pretty funny...
Feel free to vote for mine if you think it's the best, but I don't want my friends stuffing the ballot!
What did I sample? Or do you mean ripped off some tunes without realizing it at the time? (Because I can think of at least one or two...) |
| |
Its a good thing you didn't do song fight last week, because you definitely would have gotten whomped by that Emergency Pizza Party. (totally juevenille and sweete song, btw). The field is looking pretty weak this round -- so far you've still got the crucial Neal vote, but its tenuous.
Also, you sampled in this ADD: -1000 points. |

[ Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
We have the pasta-noodle variety growing out of the carpet in a basement room that shares a wall with a bathroom. I first thought the cats had dragged a lasagna noodle downstairs and were chewing on it, so threw it in the trash in disgust. A couple of days ago I was talking to my brother on the cell phone in the same room, looked down and there were three more lasagna noodles. It was like deja vu. I had the sudden sick realization that it was mushrooms. I told my brother and we discussed my putting little gnome figurines with them and taking pictures. Still have not done so, and in the meantime my grossed-out husband put a shoebox over them to keep cats and kids away. I know that will just make them grow faster. Sigh...I think we are looking at an expensive ordeal of having the basement floor torn out to see just what's going on under there. It rains a lot here, but the basement is otherwise dry so I suspect plumbing problems. Just what I was hoping to spend money on...Meanwhile I will try salt and Lysol as we already have those handy. |

awesome.! thanks.
i will shoot you a note for sure.
:)
your songs RULE! |
| |
Sure! Maybe you could send a CD my way? e-mail me: tom7 at cs cmu edu and I'll let you know my address. |
| |
would you be willing to allow a regular band use one to intro or outro one of their songs on cd in tribute to sweet 8-bit music. we would be willing ot give you credit in the credits. ? |
