Line 47

DJ set at Feralmade

File under: Music

Last night, I “Dj”d at the Feralmade gallery. I say “DJ”d because last night DJ Empirical, Nadine, Jack and myself had a discuss about what DJing was in each of our views. some were more liberal than others placing the line at actual vinyl on turntables or CD decks. Others went as far to say that itunes can be used and someone can still call themselves a “DJ”. What is your DJ line? Read the rest of this entry »

Late fee social experiment

File under: General

This morning on our way back from working out at the downtown YMCA we stopped by our favorite local video store, Wild and Woolly, to return the 3rd season of Weeds. The rental was to be returned by 9:30pm last night in order to avoid the late fee of one dollar. We arrived at the store before they opened thus the drop-box was our only option.

For some odd reason I thought about attempting to pay the late fee by inserting a dollar into the DVD case. Therefore, the worker who collected the videos this morning has a choice to make when they open the case to check that the disc is there.

• Use the dollar to pay my late fee.
• Or pocketing the one dollar for personal gain.

I’m hoping that next time I’m in to rent a video I don’t have a late fee. But if I still have to pay the late fee I won’t mind (although I will be a bit sad). I’m hoping to find that humanity is good and that my fee has been paid!

What do you think the outcome will be?

My Work Laptop Gets Experienced

File under: General

This morning when I came into work and set up my laptop on my desk I opened it up only to find that the screen was in rare form. Wacked out beyond recognition in a very cool way. I then coined the term “Experienced Mode” when referring to your laptop/desktop monitor or any other view finder that gets twerked out beyond recognition.

This image has not been Photoshopped in any way. It’s times like this that I really wish i had a Macbook Pro at work. My Mac at home never does this… I also find myself trying to exposé my work windows laptop after a long night or weekend on the mac.

Attempting to build

File under: General

I’m finally getting some time back now that we have launched the new portal! yeah! So with this time I will be putting together the new site design as well as implementing new MP3 clips of tracks I have been working on. I have also recently joined the Flickr army and will be integrating my account into the new site.

Oh, was i supposed to update this thing?

File under: General

It’s been a long time internet, how have you been?
Me? I’ve been good. A lot has happened since we chatted last. Let’s see.. the major things… I have moved from Lexington, KY to Louisville KY (which happens to be the largest city in the state), I bought and own a house (my first), saw the Arcade Fire live, which was completely mind-blowing, planted my own garden with Nadine and have harvested some of what we grew, learned a bit about homeownership, have been working on some dubstep tracks and working on a few different 12″s TBD, oh yeah, and my Friends from Belgium (Kenny & Marieke) came to visit the USA for the first time…. Ummmm i think that’s about it for the short and sweet update… I’m going to try and make a concerted effort to make updates once or twice a week.

New Remix with the Dusk Governor

File under: Music

The Dusk Governor and I are working on an ultra sick remix for the Manasyt 12″ that will be coming out on Terminal Dusk in the late months of 2006. In addition to that remix, look out for a track that I will have on the Byelebana label and a split dub 12″ coming out with Emotional Joystick (yes, it’s finally happening).

Welcoming the newsest member to the L47 household

File under: General

Miss Rusa is the latest friend to the L47 compound. She’s white and orange, which I’m told is quite rare for a female cat. She is very playful and keeps Jahmbi on his toes and always watching his back. She is really into water and loves to splash her paw into the bowl and knock water out onto the floor. Since I got a new water filter bowl (one of those that trickles water out in a little stream) her attempts at splashing water have been foiled! She’s quite sweet and I picked her up at the humane society. I love kitties!

Little things I do

File under: General

Recently I have noticed that i do particular things and I’m not sure why I started doing them. All i know is that i must continue to doing them this way. Right now I can only think of 2 quirky things I do, but if you can think of some additonal quirkiness please let me know.

My 2 quirks

• Removing the lid on my to go coffe cup before drinking it. I can never ever drink through that tiny slit in the top of the plastic lid.
• Eatting muffins from the bottom to the top. The bottom of the muffin is much grosser than the top so if you eat the bottom first then you have the crispy delightful top of the muffin to finish!

Updated & Poor

The entire backend to the L47 site has a completely overhauled backed! (thanks to the kind folks at Word Press)

I’m finally getting back into the swing of life and caught back up to normal speed after the holidays. Went to workout this morning and found that I have slipped a bit in the ammount of weight that I had trianed up to. Regardless, i pushed along with right where I left off, and I think i pulled muscle :-(.

In other news, for the first time in my life I am begining to feel the stresses of money and not feeling like I have enough. It’s depressing and a bit agrivating. Why is living so expensive?! So, to help compensate I am going to try and start going to the local clinic to donate plasma.

If anyone wants to help out with the “Keep Scott From the Steets” fund please contact me and we can work out an arrangement.
