I’m psyched to be co-leading a workshop at the Steelyard this Spring! It’ll be a hoot, as co-host and friend Dave would say. Speaking of Dave, here’s a picture of his DJing cart. 
 
 If you’re in or around Providence, and have any friends who would love to participate in this workshop, please share this post (or even better, the actual landing page ) with them!…
As mentioned in my about page, this site was born from the ashes of my Wordpress website. I’ve been slowly editing it and adding additional content over the last six months or so, and it’s been a joy. 
 After a few weeks under the belt, I felt confident enough in the build to share the news of the new static site on my Mastodon account. Someone replied with “welcome to the…
There are a lot of things to hate about AI- many more issues than I could possibly cover in this one blog post. In no particular order, here are some of my particular gripes with AI, and why I think it should be regulated more closely. 
 AI Produces Slop 
 In areas where it seems to be used most, AI produces slop. From imagry to video to music, and everything else in between, AI tools are…
Fuck Amazon. Seriously. But more specifically, fuck Jeff Bezos. 
 There are many, many reasons to hate Amazon, and Jeff Bezos. I tend to focus on worker and vendor conditions, and the fact that in his ideal world (which we’re quickly heading towards) , he would barely be employing any humans at all. But really, take your pick from a long list of very good reasons across any of his business…
The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, decentralized social networks that are constructed using the same ActivityPub protocol. 
 It contains popular, ad free alternatives to large corporate social networks like Facebook and Twitter. 
 It has the big boys scared, and for good reason.

 This is the fediverse: social media run by the…

 I’ve been lucky enough to DJ a lot of these very fun, unique annual holiday sales over the years. I’m pumped to be DJ’ing this year again, for the 20th Annual Thirsty Holiday Sale! 
 Come grab some unique, artful gifts Saturday, December 14th! The sale will be held at 50 Sims.
I was invited to my first gmail address back in 2002 or 2003 (yes, you had to be invited), and since then, like lots of you, I gradually found myself using more and more Google products: 
 
 Gmail 
 Google Docs 
 Google Drive 
 Google Maps 
 Google Keep 
 Google Weather 
 Google Search 
 Google Voice 
 Google Calendar 
 Google Chrome

I finally got a chance to head over to Brown University’s Lindemann Performing Arts Center to see ‘Infinite Composition‘ , a white LED installation that has been in the building lobby since Fall 2023. 
 
 
 
 
 
 I became a fan of Villareal’s work via an accompanying soundtrack that was used in his installation in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. This sountrack…
With bittersweet emotions, after 12 years of DJing/programming, I recently left Brown Student and Community Radio, aka BSR Live. 
 The BSR that I joined in 2010 was a freeform radio force to be reckoned with. We had a full 7-day schedule with a truly diverse collection of shows: K-pop, film music, experimental, an Atheism show, psychedelic folk, new classical, live electronic mix shows, a show…
The big LED matrix I made for Wooly Fair will be made an appearance in downtown Providence this weekend care of the Avenue Concept , as part of the Three Nights of Lights Festival. 
 We were at 35 Weybosset Street on the evening of 12/1 and on Matthewson Street on the evening of 12/2, as part of the Avenue Concept roster of events. 
 Lots of amazing art, performance, and smiles on both…
After some indirect encouragement from some folks on my Mastodon instance, I’ve decided to try my hand at Genuary! Each day of the month has a theme, which I’ve notated next to each header. 
 Compared to many, my love affair with code is rather young, so don’t expect to be blown away by any of these outputs. But rest assured knowing I had lots of fun creating them (and that I won’t be…
My first radio show was back in high school on Aquidneck Island, at 7 am. My co-host and I were freeform selectors, with an emphasis on rap, funk, and humor. We got suspended from the station for peppering in Beavis and Butthead clips during the program. 
 I’ve been a volunteer and DJ at BSR Live, (Brown Student and Community Radio) since 2010. My current show, The Fieldhouse, has been on (and…
Occasionally, I’ll read a book. They’re mostly about modern physics, although occasionally I’ll read some other types of nonfiction, and on a blue moon, even some fiction. Here’s a lsit of things I’ve been reading over the last several years.
