the more i say it, the more i like the sound of “twitter schoolbus.” it gives the impression that we’re all learning about this process together. here’s my day 1 review (and if it fails, it will be called the twitter short bus): followed everyone i was following on my jazzs3quence and our arcanepalette twitter accounts […]

i’m starting a twitter experiment today. i’m tired of reading upstart blogger and listening to all the tales of how great his new product twitter rocket is. i’ve no doubt it works. however, i am left with a lingering skepticism: as great as the product may be, and as fantastic as a 50% payout on his […]

i’ve been thinking of redesigning jazzsequence.com.  i love this design, i do, and it was a huge project to design, since much of it was written by hand, but i’ve been thinking of ways to monetize the site, if possible, and this layout isn’t very conducive to that.  it’s a good blog layout, and if […]

so there’s a couple people in the world that know that i’m writing again.  something big.  and something that won’t end up another unfinished project that sits in my sidebar and stares at me.  it goes like this: erin reads the twilight series.  we netflix the first movie.  i am reminded of what i like about vampire […]

i realize that i have hit a stall on the gwozdziec project.  part of that has been due to technical difficulties — a couple of the times i tried to do stuff my computer decided not to output any sound from those applications.   but the main part is that i’ve gotten bored with the […]

so track 1 is done.  now i have to name it. i pulled up my random quotes page from the album cover thingie.  there are 10 quotes per page, so i rolled 1d10 and got an 8.  the 8th quote on the page is: You’ve got to do your own growing, no matter how tall […]

i threatened when i made my random album cover that i would do a full on music project based on the fake album i created.  well, i’ve decided it’s time.  get ready bitches, it’s time for gwozdziec!  in keeping with the creative commons-ness of the whole thing, i’m going to blog the progress and make […]

i’ve been waiting for someone to tag me on that 25 things meme, mostly because it’s come across a couple of the blogs i read, but i guess i either have no friends or everyone knows everything there is to know about me.  either way poor, poor, pitiful me.  anyway, i’m getting my revenge by […]
