http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/state/14388616.htm

Legendary test pilot Scott Crossfield, the first man to fly at twice the speed of sound, was found dead Thursday in the wreckage of a single-engine plane in the mountains of northern Georgia, authorities said.

Logickal - Krushjob - 25April2006

I’m VERY excited to announce that Krushjob, first released last autumn in a limited edition of 30, is finally on the eve of release to a wider audience via dPulse Recordings, expanded with a host of new tracks! On April 25th, Krushjob will be available through all major download services (I’m partial to iTunes, myself…) and the dPulse Recordings store.

This second edition is expanded from the original, and I’m most excited that our friend R_Garcia from Nophi Recordings gave us a totally werked out remix of Polar Attractor, showing his aggressive side and putting an edge on one of the more weightless tracks on the album. As an added bonus, download customers will be able to aquire three additional exclusive bonus tracks. Anyone who hasn’t heard the original can check out previews over at the dPulse site, and I’ll likely have some tracks mixxed up on the next episode of FlightDynamics.

Prior VSE article retracted

From NasaSpaceFlight.com:

The NASASpaceflight.com article published on Monday, April 10, 2006, titled: “VSE: Less Steroids or Less Apollo”, has been retracted from site. This is because the content of the article was based around NASA “internal use only” data, from a yet to be finished study.

We also understand that the data was altered to support the position of the person who provided the information that was used in the article - thus, through due diligence, we have no other option but to withdraw the article and surrounding information.

Podcast Fixed!

Joy of joys! That was easier than I thought - apparently the stats portion of Podpress was causing the problem. Now, how do I get my stats back?

Anyway, enjoy the new episode! Sorry for the confusion!

Podcast broken

Egads! The lovely Podpress software appears to somehow be mucked up, and now the podcast no workee! I’ll get it fixed ASAP!

NasaSpaceFlight.com - VSE: Less steroids or less Apollo

NasaSpaceFlight.com - VSE: Less steroids or less Apollo
Once characterized as “Apollo on steroids” by NASA administrator Mike Griffin, the architecture surrounding the ESAS (Exploration Systems Architecture Study) has grown too heavy for its launch vehicles.

According to NASA internal review documents obtained by NASASpaceFlight.com, the architecture may be sheared of much of its “steroid” capability, or be replaced by a radically different kind of lunar exploration technique - based around rendezvous thousands of kilometers above the farside of the Moon.

Exquisit corps 6

I recently participated in the latest Exqisite Corpse musical collaboration game with a number of other very talented artists, and now the game is over and the songs and source files are available thanks to Sebastian, who served as facilitator and moderator of the game, as well as designer of the very novel website for viewing the results. Here’s how it worked:

This exquisit corps consisted of several rounds of development, a moderator was in charge of ensuring that the collaboration was done secretly.
Round 1: All participants secretly submited one word. This word was passed on to another participant as their initial inspiration.
Round 2 and 3 consisted of each person receiving two results from other particpants which they were placed in charge of to edit and remorph for resubmital.
The resulting sounds from round 3 [plus some wild cards] were then used to create the final songs you hear here. So in effect everyone made all the material, and everyone’s imprint in in everyones resulting songs. Hope you will enjoy moving through the evoliution of the sounds from initial word to resulting product.

Of course, I’ll likely feature a bunch of these tracks on this weekend’s podcast…

I guess it’s not surprising, but two demigods in Jeremy’s Mythology are having a little bit of a war right now. Ken Scott has a blog where he happens to be outlining some of the things he takes issue with in Geoff Emerick’s new biography… All that aside, I’m happy to see that Mr. Scott has a blog!
