what is geoff up to/what geoff is up to

• Spent basically all of August rewriting with my sister, which is why it’s been so quiet around here.
• I’m building a DAVID 3D scanner. I’m eventually going to use a pico projector to project a moving line, but for now I’m waiting on a FOUR DOLLAR line laser from DealExtreme. Since I already have a little video camera, that’s pretty much the cost of the whole rig. Astonishing. I thought about building a MakerBot Cupcake but honestly I’d rather make the scans myself and pay for higher quality printing at Shapeways. Especially since there’s some stuff I want to print in metal. Home 3D scanning/printing is very much where personal computing was in 1974 (dedicated hobbyists building stuff from kits) but I assure you pretty soon we’ll all have printers.
• Also working on a new Wu-Tang pause tape. Is there a more rhizomatic musical entity? No. As a preview, here’s a little-heard blasphemous Biggie guest spot: It’s weird that Biggie would be on a Wu-Tang posse cut with Raekwon, although it was before the whole Cuban Linx thing…who knows.
• Also, me and Louis‘ secret iPhone project will be shipping soon – I’ll make a full-blown announcement when that happens. Proud and excited. It will be v.v. useful for the twenty minutes a year you need it.
• I have heard so many good things about Spelunky, it’s next on my to-play list. Windows only, unfortunately.
• What else. Read Sum, thought it was simpleminded. Antichrist and Lymelife are queued up after District 9. Kind of want to buy a YG 1802 with a black dial and open an Italian restaurant in North Jersey. Instead might buy HF’s Personal Effects book, which I find fascinating – I have Nigo’s 8TV25CH video and Fujiwara-san’s taste seems more refined but no less obsessive. And now I have to go to AutoZone to buy some power steering fluid.
