Clay Enos
Totally cool clip from Wired magazine. It seems the older I get, the less I like to interact with strangers. I totally need to pluck up my courage and give this a go. The image of the girl with her hair blowing up behind her rocks.

Audio Tools
Winamp is pretty cool.
I've been using winamp as my main player for a while. I've found a cool plugin called Streamripper that allows you to rip streaming audio. For example, I like to listen to KMHD on Friday nights as they have an awesome blues program. I stream their mp3 stream with winamp, start streamripper and the audio file lands on my desktop for later playback. Sweet. What I recently found is that winamp supports FLAC, "free lossless audio codec." You can rip your CDs to your computer without degradation like mp3. I'm starting to archive my CDs. I plan on making a trip to the local used music store to sell off some CDs.

Class Dismissed!
Finished with my digital arts media class!
Giving up a Saturday to take a class was hard. I didn't realize how it really makes the weekend go fast. I'd much rather be up late during the week than give up another Saturday. I signed up for what sounds like an interesting class at Rayko in San Francisco later this year. It is a digital negative to Kallitype print class. I'm stoked. I've been wanting to learn more about digital negatives and kallitype. How nice to find a class to wrap up both subjects.
