Welcome to a bit of my world. I'm neither compulsive enough nor dedicated enough to write a blog, so this will have to do.
My name is Joe. I design sound for theatrical productions by vocation. I also teach.
One could divide my interests into these categories:
- sound design: my primary pursuit
- maker: things I build which often involve inhaling lead fumes
- listener: jangly pop to death metal and everything in between
- recycler: the art of plundering / the plundering of art
- ranter: occasionally I get the urge to shoot off my mouth (or fingers) about something
- viewer: entertainment media--- print and film
- jagoff: stupid stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else
The Black Dog is : bitey.
Currently reading:

What's New?
27 February 2010 - Around 1985 I started reading a comic book called Cerebus the Aardvark. At that time it was 8 years old and about 80 some issues in. When the series ended 27 years later in 2004, it was a 6000 page story that spanned 300 monthly issues, making it the longest graphic work done by a single creative team (and it still is). It started as a sort of parody comic (swords and sorcery / Robert E. Howard / Barry Windsor Smith) and quickly developed into dense philosophical/religious/satiric ... something. I've never actually sat down and read the entire thing straight through since it finished so I'm going to start now. How long do you think it will take to read a 6000 page comic book?
25 February 2010 - I was chastised today for not being social and hanging out more . Here is my calendar for this week: 
This is 9am-10pm over seven days. Every week looks like this. I wish it didn't but it does. So if I'm not available for socializing, it's because I'm booked. Solid.
12 February 2010 - I sort of like all this snow.
5 February 2010 - Today I choked on a snow flake and spent hours playing with my Gristleism. And the list of useable band names hit the 300 mark.
4 February 2010 - Nothing but a pulse.
20 January 2010 - I got nothing.
