11-23-15 Smartwatch Musings – won’t be buying one… yet.

Hey Readers,

Like many of you, I’ve taken an interest in smartwatches lately, although I won’t be buying one yet (they’re too pricey and don’t do enough).

11-13-15 Casual Fridays! More New Music!

Heya gang,

I’ve been busy this week working on a short sci-fi story and researching different sci-fi publications.

Well, that and moving my car almost nightly, because of Manhattan’s insane street sweeping schedule!

More music after the fold!

Hey gang!

As I’ve been writing my science fiction short story, I’ve been searching bandcamp for some good futuristic music using the following keywords: “synthwave, retrowave, synthpop, etc.” and finding some great, relatively unknown music!

Happy Friday readers! Dig the track from FM Attack!

I’ve been keeping busy this week! I shot photos of a Japanese hip-hop dancer in Brooklyn (for submission to Kodak) and continued writing my short sci-fi story!

I hope you had a great Halloween! I met a new friend at the Brighton Asylum on Halloween (thanks for taking this cool photo Kaye!).

Thank you all for being patient while I completed my move – I’m relieved to say, I’m FINALLY finished!
