I’m headed down to The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival with the Clayfoot Strutters this weekend. This is the 13th year our band has played down there. It’s always a blast and we have a great time. I’ll record the second Strutter From Another Mother (2010) album at Utarpia Studios (the story is best told in person) this weekend. For copies just send me an email! 
I’m almost done redesigning and implementing the UVM Art Department website using WordPress 3 instead of the rather old and cumbersome “magicscript” template system that is the default for UVM. The test version is here: www-dev.uvm.edu/~artdept/new/
My work and a few other people’s sparked a discussion about using wordpress for a site-wide CMS. I really hope this happens. It would save a bunch of people time and money that nobody has.
I finished thedaysweight.com today. I have to tweak a few things here and there, but generally I’m happy with it. Enjoy!

Well. I’ve hunted long and hard for a soft turn-off to the mDNSResponder in OS X broadcasting all sorts of junk all over the place . . . I use ARD for a bunch of stuff (camera raw updates, remotely helping students and faculty who have a problem in the digital lab, debugging printserver errors, updating the systems, etc.) However, I hate that screen-sharing is broadcasted throughout the building’s network showing up as a list of computers on any Leopard/SnowLeopard computer that is on the same network. Well, with Snow Leopard, the option to turn off broadcasting without actually killing the mDNSResponder daemon is here. For anyone who has SSH or ARD (please note, ARD needs to have legacy VNC turned off and only local admin user for authent to keep it secure + required encryption.) this is a nice little security upgrade. Instructions below:
Using compressed asr images, a server with dual gigabit ethernet and fast raid setup along with gigabit router and mutlistream casting, it’s possible to install an entire 52 gigabyte system image (think CS5, CS3, all other graphic applications and preferences, Final Cut, etc) in under 14 minutes. Whoa!!!
I’ve been missing my DSLR while it’s getting fixed. Today I had a chance to take one from UVM for a spin. Click here to go to the album.

I’ll be in an art show called “Post Pop: I’ll believe in anything” at Design Haus with friends on Friday, February 5th 2010 starting at 6:00pm. Come enjoy and be marry!
The piece I’m showing is called: Dodge, Burn, Dust-bust, and Sharpen.
It’s a compilation of all the modifications done to one of my large-format portraits sans the actual photo.
