I have a MOOG!
Well…kinda. It’s actually much more than that. Really I just finally got the VeSTige plugin working on Linux Multimedia Studio, which is awesome. I can now download VST Instrument plugins, put them into piano rolls, play them with my computer keyboard, use LADSPA effects on them, basically do anything I want. What I really want to do is get my synthesizer to work as a controller for this, but I have no idea how to do that…yet. Sure this would all be super easy with expensive equipment and software, but figuring out how to do it yourself for free is much cooler.
CAMPING TRIP
Wow. I just got back from the camping trip we’ve been talking about doing for months. It was great times. I haven’t been camping since right after Burning Man so it was good to get out and get dirty again with some cool peeps. Because I have been neglecting this blog so much this year, and because this was such an epic post, I decided it was time to increase my picture sizes. I hope you enjoy the bigger pictures. Now here are some pics from my latest adventure!
Trees!
Beeeach yayyyy!
oooooo…!
Chris getting attacked by a ferocious animal!!! Look out Chris!!!!!
This is Sid. He is very small and kind of ridiculous. He braved the wind and came to the beach with us though. Good job Sid!
I wish it had been this nice the whole trip.
Lots of good skipping stones…
Caterpillar. These guys were EVERYWHERE.
Time for a beach fire. I wish I had a picture of my cool stone sculptures I drunkenly made later…
Nice.
DUNE CLIMB!!!!

Exploring.
Back to the campsite. Chili time!
We did lots of cooking over this fire. I made some vegetarian chili that turned out pretty good.
Let the rain begin…
Lake Michigan lookout on top of a 450ft tall insanely steep dune.
Huuuge.
It is a long way down.
Makeout point.
Mmmm…
It’s really big. Trust me.
And that’s the end of the camping adventure. I hope you enjoyed my bigger than normal pictures.
