There's a new retrofuture in town. And a new tumblr devoted to collecting the pink-and-purple lasers-and-smoke pop aesthetic. Visit for all your low-res cyberspace, VHS distortion and pixelated neon cityscape needs, today!

DOOM CAKES
This is a blog researching the cinematic tradition in which any beautifully decorated cake serves as a harbinger of imminent catastrophe (often including the destruction of said cake). I also wrote an article about the phenomenon for Random House's film site, Word & Film.

Previously, On The X-Files...
Markov meets Mulder! Previously, On The X-Files... is a random image generator that uses markov chains to generate random conversations between major characters from The X-Files. The text is all drawn from post-processed transcripts of the show's nine-season run; the code is perl, the images are created using the ImageMagick library.

Douglbutt
I made an IRC bot for #mefi on Slashnet. It's written in Python, is multithreaded, has a robust plugin system, and supports interacting with Twitter and Tumblr via plugins.

Wordnerdy (a book blog)
I have a blog to keep track of all the books I read. I'm trying to read 300 books in 2010!

MJD-S Photography
I'm finally coming out of the closet and calling myself a photographer. This is my new portfolio site with a range of photographs in different categories including food, people and places. Please note that I can't be held responsible for any weird sensations you get from licking your screen.

Cruise Elroy
A new blog for intelligent discussion about video games. It takes both its name and inspiration from Ask MeFi. Highlights so far: why Super Smash Bros. Brawl's gameplay isn't important, what Nintendo is up to with their so-called "casual" titles, and what Koji Kondo's favorite cadence is (for the music nerds).

A Year in Comics
I'm drawing a page of comics once a day for the rest of the year. Most of them so far are autobiographical—things that have happened to me on that particular day. They're somewhat crude, but the quality is guaranteed to improve. They're also viewable as this Flickr set. Comics are usually posted late in the day, because I don't manage my time well.

One Music Geek's Favorite Songs and Why.
As someone who posts at various communities about music a lot at various communities, I decided to create a vox blog where I count down my 300 favorite (note: I'm talking about subjective favorites here, not objective 'best') songs at the rate of (usually) one a day, accomapnied by an essay. This could either be illuminating and interesting or an exercise in pure narcissism. Due to vox's limitations, the songs are streaming mp3 only. This entry gives a detailed description on my intents.

Both Ends of a Gun
Is a recording produced for RPM Challenge, the first event of its type. Based on the models of National Novel Writing Month and National Album Writing Month, the RPM (Record Production Month) Challenge asked bands and musicians from the Portsmouth, NH, music scene to write and record all the material for a 10-song or 25-minute album within the single month of February. This CD was my contribution to the project; it consists of songs built around two iconic American couples, Bonnie and Clyde, and Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Submissions ran the gamut from highly produced, layered, professional studio work to humble kitchen-counter efforts like my own. The project, spearheaded by the local arts and culture paper, The Wire, galvanized the local music scene and forged connections between musicians both within and across genres. It's been a boon to the music community, and the model should definitely be emulated. The Portsmouth group is now throwing down the gauntlet by issuing the challenge to Northampton, MA, Portland, ME, and the entire State of Vermont.
