Nominations are open for Jukebox Fest 2015, and the songs nominated so far have some really great stuff in them. So if you've been thinking of finding a spring fic project, you may want to check it out. ETA fixed markup

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" as performed by various divas. Make sure to leave on the captions for a cheat sheet of the divas.

Apparently the Coverthon (see previous posts) will be at http://coverville.com/live/ from tomorrow noon to Saturday noon.

So, there's a podcast, Coverville, that plays cover songs. I've been listening to it for a number of years, and it's a pretty popular podcast. In a couple of weeks, they're doing a 24-hour coverthon, a half-fundraiser/half-benefit. They're offering hourly sponsorships, which give the sponsor the chance to have their business mentioned multiple times in the hour, and have a logo up on the stream.

My crazy idea is to have one of these hours be sponsored by the letter R and the number 7, as if it were an episode of Sesame Street. We'll be essentially anonymous to the show's listeners.

It'll cost some money (the total for a sponsorship is $150), but I can put up a lot of it, and I have at least one co-conspirator.

Anyway, let me know, by comment, email, or private message, if you want to be part of this. Or if you have any questions.

Yes, really.

I don't have a PS3, XBOX360, or Wii, so I'm not in the market for the game itself. But man, I could watch the cinematic* all day.

Last year I posted some music I had generated by factoring integers. I've been thinking about it off and on since then and last night I got something that I liked.
1.1K MIDI 336K MP3 (Both are 14 seconds long)

( The details )

I'd love to hear what you think!

ETA: I should mention that most of my changes amount to "do what mrmorse told me to."

Doing well. Very busy at work and with other stuff. I made a mix CD for my friend Scooter's 33rd birthday. If you'd like a copy, let me know. Got an iPod for Christmas, which has gottne me walking more. I will try to post more frequently in the future (though I'm not making a promise.)

I am staying pretty darn busy. Work is busy, and involves producing electronic versions of reference books, which is always fun. lumpybeast and I spent Thursday and Friday evenings getting her classroom set up for the arrival of her students on Tuesday. (This was made more pleasant by the arrival of silkblade's entry in the Good Things Come to Those Who Wait mix swap.) We are both addicted to the very silly reality TV show Rockstar: Supernova.

Um, what else? Gaming, both D&D (playing, with temvald and tahnan running) and Buffy (co-running, with lorelei_sakai). Very behind on many other projects.

For your enjoyment, some very odd music, in MIDI format.

If you like puzzles, feel free to try to identify the source. (Knowledge of music may not help all that much.)

If you just like the music, stay tuned and I'll post more info about it tomorrow.
