Ongoing billing problems with @nytimes.com. I can't get them to stop billing my credit card, for a subscription that I cancelled long ago. Today I called customer service and they hung up on me twice. Is anyone else having this issue? This is so terribly frustrating.

This week's foray Ableton was figuring out the Simpler & Sampler, which let you conveniently turn samples into instruments. After playing with Ableton's built-in instruments, I now feel like I have a new way to express my data-sonifications. #sensors #soundscapes kildall.com/archives/7624

Dashboard for checking out the logged data from 16 different microbial samples. PB 1-4 were ones that were incubated and active for 10 months, the others are new ones, so no significant data yet. #adafruitio #esp32 #electrodes

Sensors for microbial samples. Logging data, solar-powered and they will some day make music.

As part of my ongoing Sensors and Soundscapes research and art projects, I've set up weekly explorations with Ableton, which is software that does the final sound synthesis nowadays. Week 1 is the Drum Kit kildall.com/archives/7610 Still so much to learn!

Tfw someone asks you to "collaborate" on their art project, with their fully-developed idea, when they are really just looking for someone to do the tech for them. #freelabor

https://buff.ly/4ffBwfM If scientists want to save humanity from a potential 'city killer' asteroid, we need years of warning, not a handful of hours. According to Dr Franck Marchis, the solution is to enlist amateur astronomers to fill in the gaps left behind by the professionals. 🧪 🔭

On December 4th, I moved my 3 Purple Bacteria samples from a south-facing window (lots of sunlight) to an east-facing one (neighbors house, ambient light). These samples produce electricity and I'm checking different possibilities for what influences their fluctuations. Direct sunlight? #sciComm

Journey to New Zealand. The first bird call I did an ID on via Merlin was the House Sparrow. Always impressed by those animals that adapt to cities: rats, pigeons, ants, and more

I see a lot of art + tech works that are really compelling conceptually. And, when I look more deeply at them, I know they don't actually work as advertised. I don't say anything, b/c I don't want to be that person. But still...

Underwater recordings are fascinating. Now I'm following scientists on my @soundcloud.bsky.social account with a separate sound cloud, for my DJ experiments.

Proud of the work that my students have done at University of San Francisco in the Information Visualization class, as we wrap up. I can't post their visualizations this semester, but #wow the kids are alright. and @ericrodenbeck.bsky.social thx for inspirations! #dataViz #mapping

I just looked at my #GitHub account and saw that I have 149 repositories (!). Some are private from various client projects. Many are useless, or just backup systems. Some are really helpful. How do others manage theirs with #openHardware and #openSource ideals?

Electrical output from Purple Bacteria samples. Seem to correspond to circadian rhythms. Peaks just after sunset and the troughs a couple hours after sunrise (though it varies). Raw sensor readings. During the intense rainstorm a couple days ago, the peak dropped significantly. #SciComm
