			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hand to god, while my buddy and I were out riding bikes around my Mom&#8217;s neighborhood, we found this projector kicking it on the lawn of this seedy apartment complex. It&#8217;s a Bell &amp; Howell 357B from the 70&#8217;s (I&#8217;m guessing..?). I don&#8217;t have any Super-8 film to test it out, but the bulb still lights up, and the motor still runs.. it&#8217;s only noticeable fault is that it&#8217;s missing it&#8217;s cover and reel (which apparently it was supposed to have). Here are some pictures I jacked from some dude on e-bay.. </p>
<p><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/alyssahori/PROJEKTOR.jpg" alt="PROJECTOR" /><br /><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/alyssahori/PROJEKTOR-2.jpg" alt="PROJECTOR, PT 2" /><br />and <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/BELL-HOWELL-357B-Autoload-Movie-Projector_W0QQitemZ320272693034QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116">here is an auction for the same projector</a>, listing info about the volts and other important crap. It is EXACTLY the same as both of those, just minus the cover and reel, as previously mentioned. Oh, and the serial number on mine is 1344085.</p>
<p>Cutting to the chase: I am offering this baby up for sale, as I have no real use for it (aside from gigantic paper weight or &#8220;cool looking thing to set drinks and books on&#8221;). So email me (punxishippys@gmail.com) with your best offer, or comment and leave your email address, and I&#8217;ll send you info on payment and pick-up and everything.<br />
<br />Oh, and unless you are willing to send an extra $25, you will have to come pick it up (or have someone pick it up and send it to you).. because $25 is how much shipping this 23lb beast will cost, and at the moment I don&#8217;t have any extra money. I&#8217;m really sorry about that, I REALLY wish I could ship this but I&#8217;m really broke at the moment.. I mean, shit, if I had the money, I would send it to fucking Istanbul or Mongolia or Uganda for whoever wanted to buy it (however, if I had the money, I probably wouldn&#8217;t be selling it in the first place).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve been gettin more and more back into music over the past couple of years (and I&#8217;m sure this might confuse some of you) but I&#8217;ve been trying to marry my art and music making processes, and I think I&#8217;ve finally begun to get onto a decent middle ground. Here are some more steps that I am taking in that direction:</p>
<p>Creating &#8220;fake&#8221; bands via documentation (screenprints, t-shirts, demo tapes, bootleg live video, etc.)</p>
<p>Buying a <a href="http://synthesizers.com/system-entry1.html">modular synthesizer</a> in 120 dollar increments from synthesizers.com (affordability and flexibility rule) so does this pic</p>
<p><img src="http://synthesizers.com/jose.jpg" alt="baby clutched by the sound art hand of doom" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also been pretty into freeware and &#8220;consumer&#8221; approaches to music, Here are some cool programs that I&#8217;ve come across</p>
<p>intua&#8217;s beatmaker for the iphone/ipod touch</p>
<p><img src="http://www.intua.net/images/img_pads.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>this one is my personal favorite, and I&#8217;ve been using it a lot cuz its fun and easy to use</p>
<p>its kind of modelled after an akai mpc, there are velocity/touch sensitive pads, an onboard sequencer that makes it super easy to program<br />
beats in time, real time record and the update I got a couple of weeks has a slew of other cool shtuff</p>
<p>its 20 bux but worth it (so not so freeware)</p>
<p>then theres a series of freeware by halcyon that&#8217;s pretty easy to use but fun and good for a laugh</p>
<p>check out their easy to use <a href="http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Halcyon-Terminal.shtml">arpeggiator</a></p>
<p>or the <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/halcyonsw/docs/site.html">drumatix</a> modelled after the famous roland tr 808 drum machine that all those rappers love so much</p>
<p>there&#8217;s also <a href="http://www.gleetchplug.com/gleetchplug/software.html">gleetchlab</a> which I haven&#8217;t used in a while, but it was built in max/msp/jitter and is a pretty easy to use sample player/editor, it doesn&#8217;t have sequencing capabilities, but its pretty fun to make noises on</p>
<p>until next time kiddies, peace love and a happy new year&#8217;d</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now, I have finally crafted the call for work for the second show (yes, I am calling it second, because missed connections ultimately became what it was meant to be by not happening at all) and I am looking for sweet, sweet submissions. The only stipulations are that I am looking for a night of believers (or those who question their beliefs) who will passionately display/produce/examine those passions.</p>
<p>This is a time to find out what it is you believe in, to articulate (visually and blatently) why you believe (in your work?).</p>
<p>So. I await.</p>
<p>and ps, here is the crafted document:</p>
<p>CALL FOR WORK</p>
<p>Rants and Reciprocal Raves.</p>
<p>Part II of the Craigslist Cultural Exchange Series.</p>
<p>A one night show of performances dealing with beliefs, lack of<br />
beliefs, passions and truths or post-truths in today&#8217;s society.</p>
<p>To have a rant or rave, usually you believe in something strongly.<br />
What do you believe? Can you believe today? Can you believe in the<br />
present? If not, can you still find something to rant and/or rave<br />
about?</p>
<p>Please submit a detailed statement of proposed piece, duration<br />
(including setup and cleanup), requirements (technical or otherwise),<br />
contact information (email and phone), and photos or a brief video if<br />
desired.</p>
<p>Show: January 18, 2008, Grand St. stop L train, Brooklyn NY.<br />
Submissions Due:  January 3, 2008, <a href="mailto:simogos@gmail.com">simogos@gmail.com</a><br />
Participants Notified: January 10</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, when wandering knitting patter collections I found a project conducted by someone in which a series of instructions, comparable to kaprow-like happening notes, for creating a freeform crochet project. There were instructions given for each day of a month with variables that would prompt different objects from different people.</p>
<p><a href="http://kaet.wordpress.com/natcromo-freeform-cal-pattern/">Here&#8217;s a link to the original blog post</a><br />
here are some examples of what was created, taken from the blog:</p>
<p><img src="http://thehouseofquality.org/blogimages/natcromo1.jpg" alt="" /><br />
<img src="http://thehouseofquality.org/blogimages/natcromo2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Anyone for group variable art projects with rules? maybe across state lines?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking:<br />
Photoshop Image<br />
Drawing<br />
Video<br />
Animated Gif<br />
or<br />
Maybe something more analog?</p>
