I finally gave up recording MIDI on my PC altogether. It just doesn't work. I've decided that MIDI on Windows is pointless.
I opened up my old ThinkPad, which has Ubuntu Linux on it, and figured, why not? I did a search for MIDI recording software, installed it via the package manager, and hit "record".
Worked perfectly. First time. This piece is my test run.
I am happily getting quite close to being able to do everything on Linux. If I had a good way to process my MIDI through Ivory on Linux, I would be left with only 3D stuff that I still need the PC for. I've heard good things about WINE... maybe I'll give that a try soon.

About a year has passed, so I think it's time for another honorary viewing of this fabulous scene from Ar Tonelico - Melody of Elemia, perhaps the finest three minutes of dialogue translation ever produced in the video game industry.

This was, unfortunately, another one of those lectures where somebody gets up and says a series of things about problems with government without really have any central thesis or narrative. The result is a weak lecture that leaves you with no real new ideas, historical insight, or specific action to take.
If I had to categorize Frank's work in general (I've read his articles and heard his lectures before, but never have I read an entire book), I would say that he functions as somewhat of a historian of, but not for, the conservative movement in America. This is useful as an exercise, to be sure, but tends to be about as engaging as a history book typically is as well.
I suppose if you are someone who has no idea what the political right has been up to in this country for the past half century, then you might find this lecture interesting. If not, I'd skip.

Lately, nothing around me seems to be working.
My Ivory stopped working, then my MIDI stopped working, my credit card was stolen (on line) twice in a row, my iPhone stopped working with my computer so I had to do a clean reinstall, a stray cat sprayed my car while I was on the way to the vet with her and even after two details it still stinks, it took two trips to Fry's and two trips to BestBuy and countless calls to Comcast to get internet working at my apartment, the POS DRM on my 3DSMAX stopped working so I couldn't do any artwork, and the list goes on.
But you know what? I bought a Roomba, and damned if the thing isn't rock solid. It vacuums my apartment three times a week while I'm out, and it never has a problem. We're talking about a robot, with moving parts, that has to traverse an apartment its designers never saw, picking up actual debris and bringing back to its little home base where it waits for me to empty it.
So I hereby dedicate this song to the one thing in my apartment that works: my robotic vacuum cleaner.
