I enjoy tasteful rock 'n' roll, beautiful films, black and white photography, modern media, classic literature and a good conversation.
And the occasional "that's what she said" joke.
Two fictional characters I’m in love with.

In other words, work today didn’t help my sleep depravation.
Catching up on my mags and books. That kind of day.
Combining my love for music and coasters.
The Musical Roller Coaster
Via Virtual Republic:
Visualization of the 1st violin of the 2nd symphony, 4th movement by Ferdinand Ries in the shape of a roller coaster. The camera starts by showing a close-up of the score, then focuses on the notes of the first violin turning the staves into the winding rail tracks of the rollercoaster. The notes and bars were exactly synchronized with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.
Created for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra.

We approve of this website. Two paws up!
DANFORTH, IS THAT A COBWEB? I WOULD BE APPALLED, NOT TO MENTION SHAMED TO MY VERY BONES, IF A COBWEB HAD INDEED FORMED UNDER MY ROOF. THE DISAPPOINTMENT I WOULD FEEL IN WHOEVER ALLOWED SUCH A THING TO TRANSPIRE WOULD BE IMMEASURABLE. I SIMPLY COULDN’T BEAR TO KEEP SUCH A DISAPPOINTING INDIVIDUAL IN MY EMPLOY, AS I’M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND.
MY EYES HAVE, UPON OCCASION, BEEN KNOWN TO PLAY TRICKS ON ME, OF COURSE. I AM NO LONGER YOUNG. IT’S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT WHAT I PERCEIVE IS JUST A TRICK OF THE LIGHT AND TOO MUCH MERLOT, AND THAT TERMINATING YOU IMMEDIATELY AND ENSURING YOU NEVER WORK IN THIS TOWN AGAIN WOULD BE A MISTAKE.
I AM GOING TO CLOSE MY EYES AND COUNT TO TEN, DANFORTH.
WHEN I OPEN THEM I TRUST I WILL NO LONGER SEE WHAT I THINK I’M SEEING.
