Here ya go Trav… 1. How much music do I have? Something like 100 gigabytes worth… it’s a mix of CDs I’ve owned and encoded into FLAC, music I’ve stolen (in the figurative sense only) from various places, and music that’s been given to me. 2. What was the last CD I bought? Cookie Mongoloid […]

I’ve been working on Colossus the last few evenings. I’ve been grinding metal to prepare it for welding and to protect people from cutting themselves on the installation. In the image, I’m grinding the center pole down so the gussets can be firmly welded on. In the last few days I’ve met a guy that […]
