Hey kids. I just installed Word press and I’m just toying around with the iPhone application. Here’s a picture of me feeding a picture of me some ice cream.

Apollinaire Rave (Of Montreal.Kevin Barnes + Gemini Tactics)
February 14th, 2009
“Apollinaire Rave is an art collective
featuring Kevin Barnes, David Barnes, and Nina Barnes (aka Gemini
Tactics). The collective’s first major undertaking was Skeletal Lamping which signaled a paradigm shift from traditional music packaging whose model has been emulated by other labels.
The collective produces paintings, prints, clothing, and music.
Over the course of 2009 Polyvinyl will be carrying more of their work.”
Of Montreal is a fantastic band. Until proven otherwise, their 2008 Skeletal Lamping, was the most innovative album in the latter half of the decade. Their artwork surrounding the album is especially beautiful. I hope this is the future of music marketing. Cheap awesome music tied to wonderful works of art. The horsey poster above? 48 x 36″ for only $12.
About the album “This record is my attempt to bring all of my puzzling, contradicting,
disturbing, humorous…fantasies, ruminations and observations to the
surface, so that I can better dissect and understand their reason for
being in my head. Hence the title, Skeletal Lamping. Lamping
is the name of a hunting technique where hunters go into the forest at
night, flood an area in light, then shoot or capture the animals as
they panic and run from their hiding places.” [wikipedia]

It’s a sign that I’ve become overly desensitized, because this video doesn’t gross me out in the least. (But it should).

Ghetto rigged air cooling for electronics
February 14th, 2009
Ghetto Cooling
Here is a ghetto rigged air cooling system for my circuit. It’s a rackmount fan propped up with two dental picks on top of a cardboard box. This is next to a $0.25 million test system.
I’m doing some manufacturer comparison relay lifecycle tests. The current through the relays causes them to heat up a bit, hence the cooling. Hopefully the relays cycle at least 1 million times a day. That’s between 11 and 12 Hz.
