Well, I’m certainly not a professional movie critic. Nor am I a past, present, or future scriptwriter, actor, director, cameraman, key grip, or anything else to do with the movie industry. My qualifications, such as they are, are that I love movies and have seen lots of them. Also on the plus side, I have a B.A. degree in English literature, so you won’t find any incomprehensible misspellings, randomly-added apostrophes, or hideous misuses of their/they’re. What you hopefully will find are lots of the fun reviews, weird facts, raves and sarcastic comments that make the film industry truly entertaining.
First review, coming soon!

Music and Utility
Finally added a keyword search to the music section. One can finally look up a piece, given only the title. Thanks Ivan!
And now, to the new selections! In increasing order of goodness…
- Pilot Error – Rock.
- Two Together – Contemporary piano solo.
- Wizardtorium – Orchestral; I think I used to have this on the site, long ago. It is worth a listen.
- Easy Jam – Reggae in a minor key. C minor, to be exact.
Man, I was in the mood for reggae…
Enjoy!
House Cleaning Part One
I have a lot of music hanging out on my PC. iTunes informs me there are 1146 pieces that I wrote weighing in at 1.7 days, and 11+ gig. This is not the entirety of my stuff. I have a lot of projects that I started, and never made it quite to the end. To rectify the situation, I started putting finishing touches on things I started over 4 years ago. And that’s a chunk of what’s available in this update.
In Electronica I’ve added: Misuse, Thinking Out Loud, Cognitive Dissonance, The Way Out, Long Time Coming, and Overriding Concern.
In Rock, I added Aitech.
Peppy Pepe is a new contemporary piano piece.
Peppy Pepe in Latin.
Exotics in unclassifiable.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies in holiday.
None of the compositions are really new – just unreleased. The new ones are starting to pile up as well… I’ll get them online when I can!
Cheers.
Cross-plot grid PDF Generator
Ok, I don’t know what to call this thing. I got a request for this today, and it was pretty simple to do. I’ve seen these types of grid with data plots before. Be careful with this, as it can add a lot of visual clutter to your data if done wrong. I recommend light colors and thin lines. But you can do whatever you want…
Enjoy!
Super Reorganization
The entire royalty-free music section of my site is revamped. I’ve been working on setting this up for a couple of weeks. It isn’t complete, but it is better than what I had – so I switched it.
Behold!
It is now database-driven, and has a simple search engine. So if you’re looking for a Calming and Eerie piece of music, you can take your pick from six I currently have online!
Eventually, you’ll be able to search and sort on tempo, instrumentation, and keyword (as well as genre and feel).
I think I got everything right. If you find a problem, please let me know!
Podcast Mania
I’m really getting around these days. If you’re into tech podcasts, you’ll recognize these. Diggnation, Infected w/ Martin Sargent, and Indigital. I just need to get in with Leo Laport, and I’ll have most everything covered.
In other news, I have music in A&E’s upcoming special on Madonna, Blame Society’s Fun Rangers, and a radio drama – Father Brown Mysteries available in the US on XM and Sirius, and I think BBC radio in the UK.
Fun stuff.
