First Final Cut Project EVER
I just found this online, on Seth Samuel's YouTube channel to be exact. This is the very first video editing I ever did, done on Final Cut Pro in the fall of 2005.
It is titled Green Dreams, and by far the best part is Seth's score.

Glitch Fish
Check out the latest results of my new datamoshing process. I've moved on to using scripts written for FFMPEG and AVIDEMUX rather than painstakingly mosh it all by hand and struggle with the semi-frequent software crashes that result.
Also, I've made the switch to VIMEO.

My "Lonely Porter" homebrew wins silver!
My most recent homebrew, a chocolate porter brewed back in the fall of last year, just won second place out of 7 competing homebrews on the Oberlin College Campus. Here's the review as it appeared in the May 23, 2009 issue of The Grape:
"2nd Place: Oberlin alum Ben Baker-Smith brings the black-sheep Dark Chocolate Stout to the table, securing a silver medal with a bold, bitter mocha flavor. The beer pours oily black in the glass with an enormous, thick beige head. One would be troubled to blindly distinguish the scent of this brew against a bar of fine chocolate. On the tongue, the beer was ascerbic in the best way possible, producing the same mouth watering pucker of a fine espresso. As the intense smokey finish subsides after many moments, the imbiber is left with the delicate aftertaste of unsweetened cocoa." (written by Liam Gordon)
I just got ingredients for a hefeweizen and an american wheat ale, and can't wait to start brewing again.

Slavic Village Revisited - Generation JPEG
[This page has been moved to http://bitsynthesis.com/2009/05/slavic-village-revisited-generation-jpeg/. Please update links to the new address.]

These images are from Foreclosure, an old project of mine featuring foreclosed homes in Cleveland's Slavic Village, one of the neighborhoods hit hardest by the housing crisis. Aproximately 2,000 of the 8,000 homes in Slavic Village lie vacant.
One of the disturbing things about these homes was their new-ness. Though they were abandoned, they were almost all structurally sound, and many of them weren't in any sort of outward disrepair. In revisiting these images I wanted to express a sense of age and wear that was felt in person, but may not have come through in the original 35mm photographs.
These are 400th generation JPEGs.
