I recently came across todayandtomorrow, a mind blowing contemporary art blog. It made me want to paint. I painted:

Oil on masonite.

WFMU

It’s 4:51 AM. I’m broadcasting live from WFMU with my friend Jesse on the Frow Show. Here is the show. We are layering the clicks from my geiger counter over ambient music:

What fun!

With the large chamber gone, I’m able to setup properly:

As the project gets complex, I must keep the lab organized.

Wolfram|Alpha

Just noticed Wolfram|Alpha has launched. So far: 2+2 = FAIL. I imagine their servers are overloaded from the world’s curiosity.

I’ll reserve judgement until I actually get some answers back!

UPDATE: false alarm.

MRI

FAMULUS — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:55:12 +0000

I’m toying with idea of buying this decommissioned MRI to extract it’s superconducting cable. I’ve spoke with a few people at Philips to gauge the feasibility of the idea. So far nobody knows. Extreme recycling.

I’ve Moved
