Pictures from West Hollywood and Lookout Mountain
We decided to play hookie on Saturday afternoon and shopped around West Hollywood. On the way home we saw Lookout Mountain, which was a big hippie spot in the ’60s and has some great lookouts, so we drove up it part way; we got to a narrow section and had to back out to let [...]

Review: the Otamatone, a musical note you can play
I recently bought an Otamatone; I had seen an ad for a show at the Giant Robot store on Sawtelle to introduce the instrument / toy but couldn’t attend. I was so happy when I saw ThinkGeek offering one a couple days later; you can purchase one from them here.

Lily doesn’t like dogs.
They’re dirty, she says – they smell and they’re dangerous. After this weekend, Aviva’s mom changed her mind a little bit.
She agreed we could bring our new puppy Iggy to her house as long as we brought his “cage,” a metal and plastic fence that can be shaped in many ways. So [...]

Demo music track: Bliptronic (updated again)
I got my Bliptronic 5000 from ThinkGeek a few weeks ago and was inspired by a riff I created on it.
