Every day, I draw on a 3x5 index card.
It started when I won a small old-school library card catalog at a university auction.

Yardhacker
Inspired by the lack of answers to my recent Ask Metafilter question (Is there an Apartment Therapy-like website for backyard inspiration?), I decided to start up a blog on my own.

Noteworks Beta - music composition software
Noteworks is a piece of music composition software that re-imagines the way music is created, played, and shared. Users create musical compositions by building networks and interacting with them in real time. We've reduced the learning curve for algorithmic music composition, so that anyone can create original compositions in minutes. With just a single click, dynamic networks can play back for hours without repeating!

Julie Dermansky in Iraq
Embedded with the Louisiana National Guard in Basra and Baghdad, artist and photographer Julie Dermansky documents Saddam's Flintstone village, fishing tournaments, a Mardi Gras parade, and cheerleaders at Camp Victory. I especially like her Christmas and New Year's Eve portraits. (Julie on flickr)

Normal Bias
I have thousands of cassettes in my basement and I know that eventually they'll succumb to the sands of time. Amongst these tapes are a couple hundred recordings of radio shows, mostly from the early-to-mid 90s, demos of bands that barely-were, and rare commercial releases on defunct labels that will likely never find their way to CD. This project is a simple attempt to archive them and share them with the two other people in the world who may find them interesting. (more inside)

Public Domain Photos
If you're looking for public domain photos, the US government is a good place to start. But finding images on a specific topic can be tough, so I've started a directory of photo galleries from various federal agencies. Enjoy!

Primary Source News
The Internet and information technology have made primary source materials more widely available than ever before, yet the presentation of the news is too often commentary with little substance. The interviews, government documents, statements, art and images we are providing represents the raw data that is the news, and as much of it as we can find.

Learning to be a leftie.
Roughly two and a half weeks ago I was hit by a motorcycle while biking to work. My right arm was broken at the wrist, elbow and shoulder. I'm right handed. Faced with the prospect of not being able to draw anything for eight weeks, I decided to teach myself how to draw with my left hand. The blog is the record of my ongoing efforts, which are turning out surprisingly well. The main hurdle is just how goddam long it all takes.
