\"NYC\"<\/a>\"NYC\"<\/a><\/div>\n

So last night I went to Club 5ive<\/a> to see Storm<\/a> & Fierce as a part of the FIVE:DNB:Sessions series. I was kinda bored by the DJ’s sets (Storm was a bit off on her mixing), but what really made the night was finding out that I was mentioned in this month’s issue of Rinse Magazine<\/a>. It turns out that my old friend Mary Ishimoto Morris wrote an article about the DC Drum & Bass scene and she mentioned old radio show at WRGW<\/a>. She even spelled my name “N!k” which I thought was cute. I would have probably known about it being printed if I would have been checking my other e-mail account that deals with DC DnB<\/a>. Nonetheless, I was told about the article by my friend & DJ replacement at WRGW<\/a>, so it made the article slightly more poignant.<\/p>\n

On somewhat related note, shortly after I got my haircut<\/a>, when I was looking in the City Paper<\/a>, I saw the ad for the event and I had a quick moment of dyslexia and thought it said “Fierce Storm.” The lame junglist irony is that it was raining outside due to the remnants of a fierce storm called Hurricane Frances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In my last post<\/a> I mentioned the greening of the city, and very related to that, I am excited about going to the Green Festival<\/a>, which is set to take place on September 18th & 19th. I signed up to volunteer some of my time to help out. I am also eager to see Greg Palast<\/a>, Naomi Klein<\/a>, and Amy Goodman<\/a> speak at the convention. Also I am looking forward to seeing the various booths at the convention center because I want more information on various green businesses<\/a>. I have an invention idea that has been circulating in my head for about a month that is somewhat related to one of my older concepts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is also another event<\/a> taking place in DC that weekend that I plan on attending. My professional society, the Association of American Geographers<\/a> is having a conference<\/a> titled so aptly, “Conference on Race\/Ethnicity and Place.<\/em>” I also plan on volunteering some time at this event as well. I had a blast at the “Mapping the News” conference back on May 15th. I really hope to make some good contacts at this event, and hopefully I can convince some random professionals to come to the Green Festival<\/a>. I mean, those that have a deep understanding of geography should know the importance of environmental sustainability. I wonder if I could add a flyer for the Green Festival<\/a> in the gift bags- lol.<\/p>\n

About the two renderings- Since I don’t have my other external hard drive hooked up, which has my cache of satellite images, I used the two images I did have on my iMac- the unedited Dutch Delta<\/a> graphic & a four paneled reflection of downtown Manhattan. I made both of the toruses random samplings of the images and in the center I used the opposite graphic. I also decided to render the background white instead of black to change this up just a little bit. Overall, I am happy with how they turned out. I really like the complexity the random sampling gives, yet I wish I could have more control over how the sampling takes place in order to add more complexity to the torus. Nonetheless, the next rendering, which should be done in a few hours, will have both the inner and outer image randomized. I look forward to seeing how it turns out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
