- Composition #7 - La Monte Young's Composition #7 (1960) for Frets on Fire. You need to set up Frets on Fire and then install this "song file" to play it. Picts of a version running here. I've been doing this kinda thing for a while, also see here, here, and here.

- "Everybody Else" - I wrote a small intro essay 2 this book about web / vernacular digital culture ...highly recommended! (disclaimer: u gotta buy the book 2 read it, but its an awesome book).
- "What a Misunderstanding!" - New Yorker "Caption This Cartoon" contest always captioned with the phrase "What a misunderstanding!". Updated every week automatically by a cron job script (Monday at noon EST FYI). Source code here. ps - The first (ish) iteration of this idea was as part of Dexter Sinister's great series of newspapers for Performa.
- Lisson Presents 7 - A show I curated @ Lisson Gallery featuring work by John Armleder, Art & Language, Daniel Buren, Richard Deacon, Ceal Floyer, Dan Graham, Rodney Graham, Jenny Holzer and a new commission by Stephen Willats ...ps the show also had some of my stuff as well.

- Best of 09 @ Buzzfeed - My Buzzfeed blog is where I post all my viral web trash (actually most of the things I make could be considered viral trash, but this blog has an audience dedicated to this trash which is nice). 2009 posts of Interest might be: Great Twitter Searches Vol. 1 - "working on my novel", Geocities Top Ten, & Line Rider Fails (including my own fail).
- Drei Klavierstücke op. 11 - A few vidz of cats playing Schoenberg (in case you're into that kinda thing....). Ps - Also see probably my proudest "net" moment ever as it wz featured on Cute Overload.

Highly recommended. Ps - there are still some available.
- Splash Page - This is an actual "splash page" I made for this site, which after being up for only a few days drove my web traffic down to almost zero,...probably my proudest and stupidest web moment at the same time. If I was as hard-core as I pretend I am, this would still be my index.html
- On C (Download) - A pdf explanation of why Jpegs look the way they do. This kinda document is pretty common in computer science departments although this one is kinda more for "noobs" as I show the math in greater detail.
