I wrote a new album (well, an EP, really) earlier this month, my first since Tensor Tympani in late 2012.

#DeepDream Tests: Parameters and Layers
I know this is all coming out about a week after I started seeing some of these parameter and layer tests, but I wanted to make my own, both for easy reference and for more precise targeting of layer articulations in the Google Imagenet library.

I am a bad human for not updating this more often
Wow, I’m embarassed. I need to update this more, especially if I’m paying for the domain. Anyway, for what it’s worth, my Ph. D. defense went super well. It was nowhere near as nerve-wracking as I thought it was going to be and my last month in Troy/Albany was spent seeing a lot of family … Continue reading

Vegan Post-Hardcore Cashew Cheese
Salutations, everyone! I’ve probably uttered the words, “I can’t live without cheese! It’s so good!” in my life. It’s understandable- cheese is delicious. Pizza, although it’s total junk food, tastes amazing and is a $40 billion industry in the US. The realities of cruelty in the dairy industry, however, tell a different story from the … Continue reading
