11.26.09- In Westerns, shooting a man while he is at home with his family is perfectly reasonable as long as he is holding a gun. No problems there. But shoot an unarmed criminal and "yer yella'". Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be enjoying Veggie Heaven's seasonal turkey dinner.
11.25.09- NYU guest lecture video posted on my CV.
11.03.09- CMS/ATMI Conference video posted on my CV.
10.31.09- I hate this idea in movies that anything in comics or literature can change from their original form when it becomes a movie when the change gives the movie less credibility (ex.: Alien vs. Predator), but for films based on true stories, it's a sin against God and man to change the story to reflect a more palatable scenario (ex: The Perfect Storm).
10.26.09- In light of Sasha, I got a new car: this is Latoya, a 2010 Carolla. Pic 1 Pic 2

09.18.09- currently sick at home with no voice 09.15.09- I'm writing the music for The Pillowman to be performed at Kean University. 09.12.09- Kel and I are going to see King's of Leon tonite--I'd better learn some more of their songs besides "Use Somebody". 09.12.09- I'm presenting at the TI:ME NJ State in-Service 09.11.09- Reflection is being performed tonite at Eva's Village 09.07.09- I don't wanna go to school. 09.04.09- home from PA. 08.27.09- finally in the MSU's new Chapin Hall 08.15.09- Verve, meet Viper, my project/experimental Parker Fly Mojo 08.11.09- going to CT. 08.10.09- when a bug flies in your eye, it's a lose-lose situation. I have to spend the next few minutes feeling grossed-out as I dig bug remains from my eye, and that poor bug has to spend the last few minutes of his life trapped inside of my freakin' eyeball. What a terrible fate. 08.07.09- finished a two-week seminar on music technology at ASTA/CMI . Pics Here. Program here. 08.02.09- had a piece for viola and guitar performed.

After a few months--how did he live this long? Super turtle? video 06.27.09- Ya know what: most of the country made fun of Michael Jackson for the past 6 years. Every 'kid-toucher' joke and every racial/plastic surgery joke was fair-game: he was one of America's longest running jokes and people loved to make fun of Michael Jackson--and now that he's dead, those same people want to revere him and talk about how talented he was. VH1 is doing a special on his life--the radio is playing his music non-stop and talking about his legacy and how talented he was. Well, those people can all [insert derogatory comment here]. It's unethical to be that fickle. It's in style to acknowledge his talent and all of the jokes have been halted--at least for a while. I hate people like that. 06.26.09- Wow--who would think that The Proposal would be vastly more interesting than the latest Transformers debacle. 06.22.09- MOL at the first Max Conference in 2009 (video) 06.15.09- found this pic from the most recent Reflection performance 06.10.09- saw Up last night--check it out. 06.09.09- went to Hershey Park again! 06.04.09- I've been asked to do the keynote at the TI:ME Central Regional Conference in Ohio in January 2010! 05.23.09- hard at work on the EAMIR SDK 05.18.09- I've been asked to do the keynote at the KCA graduation 05.13.09- going to Hershey Park!!! 05.06.09- done with school!!
