Got the digitals from the Mini. Nobody out runs F Got the digitals from the Mini.  Nobody out runs Father Time, but I'm giving it my all.  Pleased with the 2:19:53, but, yeah,  starting to think about '24 and going for <2.  As to the full 26.2, color me interested, but with different goals.  Huge thank you to everyone for the support and encouragement.
After several months of searching, researching, dr After several months of searching, researching, driving around, and sleepless contemplation: the right one was found.  Yulong Guo Hauser, cedar/rosewood, carbon strings.  She's light, responsive, inspiring, winner of shootouts, and the right tool at the right time.  Thanks to all for input and insight, time to tune up, tone out, and make some music.
On this day, 15 years ago, at 9:42am I used FB to On this day, 15 years ago, at 9:42am I used FB to message the old college x-girlfriend (the best one). Turns out, we lived unknowingly a mile apart.  She's my partner, my best friend, "Mama" to our kids, my ride or die, my pecan pie.  She's creative, smart, and funny on top of being low-key smoking hot.  I'm gonna end up being a minute late on the post just wanting to go on and on about her.  Hopefully she won't mind as long as I let her keep sleeping in on a Sunday morning.

Social media is not perfect, but it's how I found her again, so for the 2 kids, @koababy1222 and everything then/now/future, let me just say:  I'm really glad I sent that message.

I was honored to sit on a panel discussing Diversi I was honored to sit on a panel discussing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion this morning (got to tell a brief version of how we teach #wendycarlos and other pioneers), then had a great poster session for our Curriculum Enhancement Grant project integrating hardware into a history of electronic music course (and beyond).

A huge thanks to @976hauntron for being my partner on this, @iupui CTL for funding, @iupuimusictech @engrtech_iupui for matching the funds, and all our amazing students who engaged, made cool music, and shared their feedback on the project.

First time doing a poster, I feel like a "real" academic now.  Now that it feels do-able, time to think about the next grant...

I was a little on the fence about coming down to O I was a little on the fence about coming down to One World Trade Center.  I'm very glad we did, it was beautiful, emotional, and also a great way to see the city. 

You couldn't pay me enough to wash the windows, but it was rad to see it being done by someone else.

Happy 10 year anniversary to this wonderful record Happy 10 year anniversary to this wonderful record.  @nicholaspetricholas you and the boys worked so hard, played everywhere, and earned this with grace, humility, and kindness.  To steal a line from you, "so very nice, so very nice." ❤️

I'm gonna put this into the universe:  If you've got a Wendy Carlos connection, I'd love a chance to correspond with her in any way. 

I'm a PhD student at @iupuimusictech and my dissertation is focused on experiential learning, particularly in introducing hardware elements to an electronic music history course.  This way, instead of passively hearing about Wendy's amazing work (and life), the students also get to actively experience a version of her (and Rachel Elkind's) workflow. 

I want her to know how inspiring she's been to all of us.  And I'd love to pick her brain on synthesis, instrument development, the music business, life... but the 1st part is far more important. 

So if you know her, please let know how impactful she is!!! ❤️ 

And Weird Al is an intergalactic treasure and the north star for thoughtful and silly music nerds everywhere.

Indy friends of you want a listening party, let's.
