The Magic Rolling Board
A super-catchy pop song set to found and digitized 16mm footage.
Although the origin of the film was initially unknown, it seems it comes from this hilariously earnest video

Hi. My name is Alex Wiltschko.
This is my internet log.

First draft of Soundscape
I'm working on a new iPhone app, and I've got the basics of the 3D layout working.
I'm using the Cinder library and OpenGL to draw a 3D sheet to the screen.
I followed the lead of this terrain map tutorial quite closely to get the basic data structure layout of the sheet. After a lot of banging my head against the wall, I think I finally understand how to construct efficient height maps in OpenGL.
For the height and color, I just use a simple sine wave slightly offset from the z-axis.
In the future, the heights will be determined by sound coming in from the microphone, processed by an FFT. My goal is to emulate, on the iPhone and iPad, this audio-generated landscape by the ever-great flight404.

Music, graphed
This was done by hand, but this would be awesome if done generatively.

Caffeine will get everything done for me, and I'll just sit back and watch
Fell off the decaf train awhile back, and I must say, I just don't mind.
