where have all the bennetts gone?

sorry, joey joe joe junior shabadoo, i've been scatterbrained and therefore have been unable to come up with a coherent post for a while. but then i must ask myself... are any of my posts coherent?

final projects are upon me. for one class (java) i'm writing an application that you can sing into and it'll transcribe your lovely melody into musical notation. maybe i'll even finish that up tonight. for another i'm writing a big paper on wireless audio. thrilling, eh?

i just got a new cell phone because i was the only person in ny who had t-mobile, so of course i had to get a ridiculous one that takes pictures, video, plays mp3s, and does bluetooth. it also gives great head. i may use the phone's picture ability to take pictures of all the places i eat around nyc- i do eat a lot- and write about them. yes, this blog is being taken over by my gut. and i also had a wonderful moment of absurdity in class today when our teacher was showing us java networking and music, which inevitably led to us all whipping out our powerbooks and 'jamming' on our teacher's friend's website, webdrum. unfortunately the ridiculous sounds didn't come though that well (check out the site though) but here's my bootleg video:

bennett's java class

(note: you might have to right-click / control-click it and download the file to disk then open it up with quicktime player for it to work)

and with that it's back to my final java project. i'll let you know when i'm done so you can all sing me some melodies. keep on takin'er easy.

...our teacher was so excited by our 'performance' yesterday that he videotaped it w/ his palm zire... here are the videos he shot, maybe with better sound than my cellyphone...

behold

could this be the most brilliant absurdist hoax ever? i have no idea what it's for, but the great pointed archer people are counter-protesting the striking NYU grad students in washington square park. they have a large inflatable rat next a large inflatable person to protest rats being vilified in union strikes, and they want to change the name of the rat to the 'great pointed archer'. they give out free t-shirts and stuff too. so either there is some deep-pocketed absurdist philanthropist out there or there's going to be something coming from this soon.
