Seven Souvenirs of August

Today, I earned all of the seven souvenirs by attending a geocaching EVENT at the beach.
Here's a [bad] picture from the event.

I also created a website type thing. HERE is a link to it. It is mainly centered on photography, but I also added some music content to it. Feel free to check it out and share it with some friends!

GeoCaching week one

Went geocaching this week. So far I've found (along with the help of some friends and some others) about 50 geocaches.

If you DON'T know what it is, here's a brief explanation:

• People hide containers of various sizes in places all over the world.
• You can find the containers by plugging in their GPS coordinates (provided at http://www.geocaching.com/) into your GPS device. 
• They put a paper in the container. People who find this container sign their name in it, and can say whether they found the "cache" (the container) or not online.
• If there are objects in the container, you can take an object as long as you put something of equal or greater value inside.

Jason is holding the caches and stuff.

So if you haven't attempted to go geocaching yet, just go to http://www.geocaching.com/ and sign up. Then go exploring.

Ordered a new midi controller and a new synth.
I've been starting to look into pure data stuff. Gonna try to see if I can use my new midi controller with that.

I've been trapped inside for the past couple days.

Jonny Music Suggestions

"Background Music":
