New OCR album and my first chiptune

So overclocked remix came out with a new album a few days ago, and it is absolutely fantastic.  It’s called THE ANSWER, and it’s a fanmade album of music from the Armored Core series. For those of you who don’t know, ocremix is an online community of video game music fans.  It’s got a database… Continue reading New OCR album and my first chiptune

You have no idea…

…how happy this makes me: At some point this year, I want to put together an album of original 8-bit music. I don’t really care if it’s good or not, I just want to do it. Apparently, there’s a growing chip tune scene, mostly centered around New York and Tokyo. I saw this documentary the… Continue reading You have no idea…

The Obligatory Christmas Post

Just a quick post, because I figure I shouldn’t let Christmas go by this year without at least mentioning it in some way. I’m not much of a Christmas person, and I think I get that from my Mom.  I still remember the year when she suggested we stop doing presents altogether.  That didn’t pass,… Continue reading The Obligatory Christmas Post

I don’t ask for much…

My future wife can do WHATEVER she wants–drag me up to Alaska or Antarctica to get married, make us move in next door to her parents, force me to hold down a real job until the writing takes off… …I just ask that they play this song at our wedding.

The technological singularity: a thing of the past?

One of the latest trends in science fiction is the concept of the technological singularity — the point in history at which technological advances occur so rapidly that we can no longer learn the new stuff fast enough to keep up with it. I hear a lot of people talk about this at cons, and… Continue reading The technological singularity: a thing of the past?

Change in direction

Just a quick update on things before I go to bed. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to put Into the Nebulous Deep on hold for the time being.  The main reason for this is that it’s a direct sequel to Mercenary Savior, and if the first one doesn’t sell…yeah, not the best business… Continue reading Change in direction

Genesis Earth 5.0 is finished!

That’s right; the fifth draft of Genesis Earth is complete. It was a quick, easy edit, but there were quite a few problems with the last draft, mostly having to do with the physics and timing/distances. Anyway, here are the stats: ms pages: 335 words: 71,500 file size: 164 KB chapters: 16, prologue & epilogue… Continue reading Genesis Earth 5.0 is finished!

DAFT PUUUNK!!

So a few days ago I discovered this French techno group called Daft Punk.  They are freaking amazing!  I’ve been listening to them nonstop ever since–and when I say non-stop, I mean it quite literally.  Their music is so awesome, it blows my mind! Take the stuff they’re doing for the new Tron movie, for… Continue reading DAFT PUUUNK!!

Dog dead workdays and killing your characters

This post is going to be super quick because I’m dead tired. Due to power surges and computer glitches, I had to work overtime today and yesterday at the warehouse, so I really haven’t had time for anything except writing and a little socializing at Leading Edge.  However, things are going well.  I’ll get the… Continue reading Dog dead workdays and killing your characters
