Fragmentation

Web 2.0 is all over the place.
Facebook is really nice, but then there’s stuff there that I would like to put on my blog (which is mirrored by my LJ), and that blog is totally separate from my academic blog (that I haven’t touched since summer), and all three of them don’t quite connect with the people I connect with on AIM, ICQ, MSN, or the various people on the 5 different IRC networks I’m on. So to recap:
- There’s this interesting podcast called Into The Score, which is rather good at what it does: listening to and analyzing video game scores. One of their recent podcasts features the score to Cloud, as well as a rather lengthy interview with me. Man it’s hard to listen to my own voice…
- I recently went to an Asian pop culture convention and took way too many photos (though not as much as I take during the gigante cons like Anime Expo). Some of them turned out pretty well, I think! It helps when the cosplayers in front are pretty darn cool (I only participated because I was asked by them, actually. And I’ll probably go from now on as it’s a nicely run con with some cool guys running the thing.)
- Synful Orchestra FINALLY released the latest version of their not-so-popular plugin. I happen to LOVE it… but I now have significant problems. Basically, the new version wants a very specific latency set in the sound card drivers… which is actually only available in a previous driver. But that previous driver had problems because it didn’t provide a specific latency to deal with this dodgy MOTU Symphonic Instrument plugin that I barely use… except for its pretty darn good sounding percussion, which isn’t provided for in any of my other software libraries. So… ARGH. Very argh.
- And oh yeah. I love my new camera.
