An often claimed allure of virtual worlds like Second Life is the "ability to be what pne choses." And on surface level I might agree to that. It is a promise the virtual world has for us. In my actual experience I see something else happen. It's something I've seen in many years of RPGing too (RolePlaying Games - both pen and paper based and live action)

A few years ago, when I was very into 3D modeling and things like Bryce, a title like this would have been for a post about new software, or new rendinging techniques and so on. This post is about Second Life and a chance pbservation. Consider the image to the left. This my Sl character Archer Mokeev sitting down in nature for a meditation. It'S a simple screen capture with no post-processing apart from the crop. This isn't photrealism or squeaky clean hyper 3D realism. It's almost painterly. And that's mainly because the grafic card in a MacBook just isn't that cutting egde really. I think it's a very encouraging sign that a something as widely available as Sl (it's free for basic access) has progressed to a point where you can create emotinal rich and expressive images like this 'on the fly'. This ia a snapshot, there was no prior planning or setup, no post processing. Just the eye for a scene......

more...what we can't have 2007-11-22 (123 words)
What we (currently) can't have is often what we want the most. For example, I ran out of Coke, and for several reasons there's no way I will be getting any resupply soon. So now I sit here, feeling a bit low and trying to get into the groove.. and I think "a coke would boost me nicely now!" Yeah, right. Funny thing be, I know from long experience that it would not. It tends to make me tired and itchy mostly (sugar). I do get a buzz from enough of it, but it's not one that is conductive to concentrated work. And truth be told, when I have some around, I never seem to get this feeling od "if onl I had."

Now here's a weird quirk in human psychology. A person has been accused of fraudulent dealings. The accused and the accuser are close family. Later it turns out that the accusation was without grounds. Yet instead of making good and apologizing for the wrong accusation, what happens? The former accuser has been proven wrong, and thus now holds a grudge for being proven wrong. This leads to the upside down situation of the formerly accused - who has actually been done WRONG by being accused in the first place - AGAIN becomes the 'wrong doer' in the eyes of the former accuser. PEOPLE!

In all of the self searching I did one things comes up regulary: to be content, I need movement. Not movement in a physucal sense, but as in moving forward. I feel most blocked when there is ongoing discussion about course of action. At the same time I happily engage in discussions that are aimed to come to a decision, a conclusion. As such I usually enjoy constructive criticism, even if it means a project might need to retrace it's steps a bit. The goal is improvement, which is a form of movement after all. Observing myself in group discusions I can see that I'm usually driving the group towards a consensus. A solution all can agree on. I like to talk about things, but I want to get results from the talk very much :)

more...Making complex things simple 2007-7-8 (512 words)
Here is some thoughts about another base tendency I have. I tend to reduce complexity to base elements. Filtering out the core message from complicated texts, finding good rules of thumb, all those have been typical of me when faced with a new topic. Maybe it's the way I can grasp a new field so quickly. Absorbing all available information, but always filtering out the core important aspects. Many people who get into a new field try to learn everything and all there is to know.... and soon get bogged down or overwhelmed by details. Rading everything there is to read about a subject is something I do too, but I give myself permission to forget the nittygritty details. It's an engeneering virtue my brother once told me about apparently: "You don't need to know everything. You need to know where to look it up."

Virtual worlds have one teaching aspect that I particularly notice. There is a certain disconnect between what we intend to do and what, and esp. when, it actually happens in the virtual world. Hardware and bandwidth limitations can make this lag quite noticeable and often frustrating. What is special to me about this effect is the fact that it's what I have learned to deal with all my life. Living as a visual person with a visual handicap has me in that exact situation most of the time. It taught me to step back a bit. To observe first and act second. To be patient. ...

I'm quoting Seth Godin out of context here, but the following sentence speaks a profound thruth on it's own:

Yes, that is what is really happening. The author of a book pays a book publisher to publish their book. A musician or band pays their label to produce and promote their CDs. It's obvious if you think about it. Only the labels, the agents, the publishers really do their best to make you think otherwise. "We are so generous to grant you a contract."

My uncle died in hospital tuesday 2am. It was suprising although we all had been prepared for the eventuality. He had been suggering from muscle distrophy for all his life. At the age of 50+ he was no longer able to walk etc. Our thoughts and concerns are now with his mother of age 91 (!) who was very much the motor and support in his life. My grandma is a very clear, warm and yet rational/pragmatic woman. She has remained very active and strong despite her age. She had a reason, a purpose. We now wish for her to find a new joy and purpose in life so that she may enjoy the remaining years. Having lived with and cared for her son for all of his life and now outliving him is definerly not what she expected to see happen. There is so much more I could say about all this... yet I will just end this post by saying I am proud of my grandma and her life.

Vlad over at Daevlmakr.com has found the time to release another set of his 1dot9 sets of samples. These are one base loop processed 9 different ways using the Daevl.Plugs. The new set is called Sycky and shows off nice combinations of the plugs in multiple stacking. There is a downloadeable zip with the resulting loops and that has detailed descriptions of which plugs were used. Now, what do I have to do with that apart from thinking it's cool? Well, I went and put it all together into a track of course. It is quite astonishing what you can get out of ONE basic sample loop. In my track you can hear the original loop for the first four bars, and then there will be the nine others fading in and out, punching in and generaly having a good time. Note that I also use no extra FX apart from volume fades and some slight LFO based cutoff filtering to get the rythmic fadein/out going. Enjoy!

This track is - for all it's aureal complexity - actually quite minimal. It is composed of 2 (two) base samples. One is a phone bleep, the other the swoosh-beep of an industrial robot. What makes this so complex is the use of what is called a "Chime Delay". It's a delay that does two things: it creates random length delays that are also randomly panned in the stereo field, and it pitch-shifts them. The beauty of this particular one is that you can specify the pitch shift in semitones and you can specify a list of intervals you want created. In that way one can create harmonious delay clusters (using maybe a pentatonic scale etc), or more disharmonic ones when using staggered semitones.can you say: it's my fault? 2007-2-19 (73 words)

So I get to bring little Feline to bed and all that. Now being a freecyclic sleeper of sorts, the innocent "papa too?" questions can have tremendous impact on my sleep pattern. She loves it when I bring her to bed and snuggle in with her til she is gone. And, well, by that time I might be well gone also. The trick is to actually remember oneself being a free cycle sleeper.

As you might know, with each licence of Tinderbox these days you get a copy of BareBones' Yojimbo. So what do I make of it? At first I was not sure what I'd need Yojimbo for. After all, making notes was what I thought I was using Tinderbox for. I have a big tbx file just for jotting down notes. I put in addresses, phone numbers, dev notes, phone notes etc. It has become cumbersome and loads/saves rather slowly now. Looking stuff up in it works quite well, but actually I simply use base search on it. I need to know some words I put in with the info (names etc). That worked ok. Now enter Yojimbo. Where Tinderbox is purposefuly flexible, yojimbo is purpose-built to making, sorting and finding notes. Tags, smart folders, PDF/DOC/WebArchive/TEXT you name it. Just drop in and maybe tag later. Input is as simple as dragging an URL to the Yojimbo dropzone, which lives to the left of my screen. Hitting the apple key I can switch between bookmark or WebArchive for URLs. Simply dragging selected text from anywhere into Yojimbo works nicely too. Worry about proper tagging and filing later, if at all....

OpenID 2.0 has been proposed for some time now. Most of the action has moved to the Heraldry project, whichn is currently in the Incubator phase at the Apache Foundation.
