Max turned 2 last Monday, actually, and I took the Birthday Pictures, but didn’t manage to post until now. What a change since last year! Happy Birthday, Max. We love you.

Skater video
Wednesday, June 1st, 2011
I don’t normally spend a lot of time watching skateboarding videos, but that might change. Max just watched this one 8 times in a row. And it’s pretty remarkable. That’s one of the happiest people I’ve ever seen, just around 35 seconds.

Best email from a student ever
Sunday, March 27th, 2011
The following came from a student in one of my music technologies courses. The assignment in question involved notating a Bach chorale using Sibelius. The student gave me permission to post this on condition that I didn’t identify him:
I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2HOURS CHECKING EACH PART AND STILL THERE IS AN EXTRA BAR OR A BAR MISSING I MAY JUST LOSE A FEW BRAINCELLS I have handed the chorale in but i am really really angry this is ridiculous!! and I need time apart our relationship isn’t working. any-who. I tried really hard I promise.
hope you like what I haveSEBALIUS
This student works really hard and could potentially do very well in the course. You know who you are – I hope you’re reading this. Focus and slow down. You’ll be just fine.

In trying to learn more Processing, I wrote a script that draws lines, based on the content of an image. Here’s Robert Frank’s New Orleans Trolley in 10,000,000 lines:

Humble
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
Since we (finally) hooked up our turntable, Raffi‘s Singable songs for the very young has been in pretty high rotation. I listened to it a lot as a little kid, and now Max is too (the same copy). It’s got amazing musicians playing on it, like Bob Doige and several Whiteleys, but this segment from the credits was lost on me as a toddler:
Dan Lanois – mandolin (side 1, no.8)/bass drum; besides performing with Ray Materick, and Sylvia Tyson, Dan likes to compose music; Dan and his brother Bob own and run MSR Productions.
Now, playing with Sylvia Tyson and Ray Materick is about as close to stardom as I could ever hope for, but oh yeah – Dan will also make brilliant records of his own and produce The Joshua Tree, Teatro, Wrecking Ball, So, a ton of of other U2 and, of course, the year after this record, More Singable Songs, another of my big childhood hits.
