I was digging through some old hard drives the other day and came across a few short tunes I created with my new (at the time) Roland V-Drums and my Korg Karma keyboard.  I used Acid software (before Sony bought them) for recording.  I wouldn't call it music, just jamming while testing out the new rigs.

Take a close look at this receipt and tell me what you see.  I see a city which continues to increasingly drive tourism as well as new and existing businesses away.  Yet another useless tax.  Keep it up San Francisco. You're going to end up like Illinois before too long. Hell, what am I talking about? At least Illinois has a reason, as misguided as it is. The San Francisco legislature on the other hand; well they're just fucking idiots.Read more …

The video says it all. God bless Valve. The A.I. in the Source engine has been bumped, providing even more realistic interaction with the NPCs. Also to be included in this release is the much touted HDRI technology. For those interested parties, the story up to this point. More available on wikipedia.org.Read more …
