multi-touch interaction screen…

so, i was looking into the lemur as something to use to control live performances via a touch screen and got really into some of the technology used. so, i started digging deeper to see what else was out there. i had seen microsoft’s multi-touch coffee table some time ago, but as with most things microsoft, who knows when it will be out and how buggy it will be. then i stumbled upon this multi-touch device. watch the video on the right side of the page. i’ve always hated interfacing with a computer, even though that’s what i do to earn a living, and this is getting closer to how i would like to interact. i think voice commanding and this multi-touch approach are great ways to interact with our binary data friends. i can only imagine what form of interaction we will have as evolution puts us and machine together. if you’ve ever read any of ray kurzweil’s stuff, we don’t have much time left waiting.

week 08 – weekly song experiment – quiet, tired and other things

this week was a complete blur. in fact, tonight is the only night i was able to record and it was performed under very heavy eyes. we are in the process of moving to our new house and there is a lot of work to be done so this weeks song is just 3 guitar parts and i think it shows the kind of mood at the moment. it’s entitled quiet, tired and other things

with tired legs and a tired mind…i leave you. enjoy week 8 of the weekly song experiment. head over to the weekly song experiment page and have a listen.

good night.

week 07 – weekly song experiment – my son

Daniel
here it is. this week’s installment of the weekly song experiment. this week’s song is about our son daniel (go ahead and click him, he’s slicked out in a suit) and i conned my wife amy into singing it with me. i think she did a great job and she’s also pretty.

thanks everyone for the comments and emails. i always appreciate getting them and i do respond to every one of them.

so, head over to the weekly song experiment page and take a listen to the song for this week, my son

week 06 – weekly song experiment – powered by fear

this week i was able to sing again. the head cold has passed. i was able to knock this song out within a few days this week. we’ve been incredibly busy working on the new house so that we can get moved in, but i’m enjoying trying to cram music time in. it really does feel great to just create it and let it go. i don’t know how many people are out there listening, but it really doesn’t matter. it’s out there.

to those that are listening, this weeks song is called powered by fear. head over to the weekly song experiment page and put it to your ears.
