Here’s my assigned introductory video for ds106. I gotta admit, I’ve been pretty busy and the week has gotten away from me, so I just hit the record button and let ‘er rip. Just a few representative moments of what life at the house is like…

- DARPA, Hackerspaces, and Schools"Money is a form of influence, even if done indirectly, and I feel a lot of aprehension at the idea of the Department of Defense having an ongoing channel of influence into the science and engineering programs at schools. We have a society with a strong and traditional separation between civilian life (including education) and the military and some very […]

- The Myth of Disruptive Technology | John C. Dvorak"There is no such thing as a disruptive technology. There are inventions and new ideas, many of which fail while others succeed. That's it.

- Meet The New Boss, Worse Than The Old Boss?There is a quasi religious tone to many tech convention speeches and press releases. What other industry constantly professes utopian visions for all humanity? What other industry would dare proclaim they were liberating artists? Students? Workers? What other industry thinks they are mystical shaman “Let’s send our magic objects, our laptops to poor children […]

Now playing on 
Had a damn good laugh when I watched this. Great idea piping the coffee can through the Wah – so happy to see it has found its place in the household soundscape.
I can’t express how much I dig the coffee can, had some very genuinely groovy moments, though I can never seem to replicate them… I see Scott has taken the analog synth work to a cool place. All hail the Prince George Circuitbenders Guild!
(If anyone coming here has not seen Grant’s own intro vid, I urge them to take the one minute… and enjoy with mouth agape: http://web.unbc.ca/~gpotter/?p=596)
Kill, Dexter Kill! Classic. Oh, you guys are going to have so much fun. Harry, you’re a natural.
Oh my, that was beautiful, man. I could only dream to improvise like that.
Let’s hear it for medicine– and all the new audio toys you got! Kudos for Harry and Dexter in their supporting roles.
It is so beautiful.
I can vouch for that. A surprisingly calm moment at Casa del Lamb y McPhee.
It’s so beautiful.
This had me cracking up. Loved it. Also loved that Harry and Dexter co-starred in this production.

It was a fun boys’ night in at the house, Harry played a big role in shaping the narrative… and as usual Dexter steals the picture with his characteristic deadpan performance.

I actually laughed out loud. Good to see dexter looking so well, and Harry is a star. Also glad to see I’m not the only one who has approximately 27 different places where the thing I’m looking for _could_ be.
Loving the chirps. What kinda box is that? I built out a Voice of Saturn kit a couple of years ago to run through my pedalboards.
Grant Potter made it – it’s got basic controls (speed, depth, pitch, volume) built into an old coffee can. I absolutely love it. Though I fins it almost impossible to capture the same sound twice, which I learned earlier this week is by design.
Dang, I wish I was a noise professor…
I think I need to borrow Dexter for personal protection. That looks like one mean a$% watchdog.
” Is that a pipe in your pocket or are you jsut glad to see… yourself?” “Oh. OOOOh, ooooooh. Here it is”
