For some reason whenever I cook i have a huge impulse to take a picture of whatever I make. I am consistently shocked that I have created something that I can put in my mouth and it wont kill me. These are some of my winter dishes(created by yours truely except for the first, they are almost all remixes or mashups of other recipes or things I have eaten). Too bad I don't have a nice camera that can do these justice but hey.

1. Broccoli with White Cheddar (invented by Emily Grenader)
2. Beef Stew
3. Lamb Burgers with Mint Mayonnaise
4. 3 Cheese Macaroni with Bacon and Shallots
5. Corned Beef
6. Cucumber Dill and Yogurt Soup

8. Brusselsprouts with Butter and Garlic

Heres a little piece I made while staying in New York around the same time as this one. I don't know what to think of these, they both definitely come from images in my head stuck from There Will Be Blood. While they have nothing to do with the earth bleeding or of greed it is something about the water being like silence you can only find in nature. I dunno I need some feedback. I have recently been finding all kinds of little graphic tidbits that I made a while back and forgot about so I will post those soon. I also just finished a design for the cover for an ep and am in the process of designing another. I will post those as soon as they come out.

I just read a truly insightful essay by James Corner called The Agency of Mapping: Speculation, Critique and Invention. It tought me alot about myself actually or at least made new connections between different things that I am interested in that I never before saw. It is from the book Mappings and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in space, time, media and little social people. I posted a little blurb on my classes shared MIT utopian blog about it.

Note: The portfolio link is broken if you want to look at my previous work go to myplaybin.com or to selfportrait.net - sorry I will get it straight soon, broken links are my nerdy pet peeve.

Shout out to Devin Kenny who has a new website and to Lost

Filthy McNasty is a podcast that just hit the information alleyways.Composed by old friend and audio connoisseur Mel Stern, it is a great playlist with some of my long time favorites. Ahmad Jamal's Whats New (check out Planet Asia - Fresno State of Mind) and Dorothy Ashby's Windmills of Your Mind (also find the Dusty Springfeild version) are a few tracks that stand out as songs you need to hear or you havent really lived a meaningful life as a hunter/gatherer. Filthy McNasty is hot and reminds me that Musical Dope v3.0 wrapping up the audio life and times of 2007 for Robin Willis is overdue. So I'll get on that fast. New York is cold, whiskey and stew are warm.
