I’m in the middle of this crazy deference of decision making. I really want to go to burningman, but I told myself that I would only go if I could bring my project (currently referred to as ‘Avatar’, but looking for a better name). So, I am scrambling to see if I can get it in shape for burningman over the course of the coming week.

There’s about an 18% chance that it will happen, because there are a lot of logistics to work out: how will I power it, how will I get down there, what will I use to get four channels of audio out of supercollider (and will my old laptop support it) and what will I use to get button signals into MAX (hey, a really cheap solution might just be a disassembled mouse!), how will I keep the whole thing 30 feet off the ground?

Whether or not I go, it is good to be focusing like this on it, as I still plan on bringing it to robodock.

Just bought the ticket to go to Robodock in Amsterdam. Hooray! I hope to bring my yet-unnamed soundscape installation doohickey that needs a ton of work.
