You Want to Rock?

I can’t think of a better way to rock than to put on some Sleeping Body and listen to the slamming crunchy chaos that ensues.

I’ve been so busy…

… that I can’t really think of much to write about.

So I’ll give you some doodles instead.

Buy a book… make me happy

A book of pretty picturess.... What more could you want?I guess I should really say “Buy THIS book… make me happy.”

I decided to try Blurb out to see what their hardcover books were like, so back in April, I gathered all of my CD covers and put them together into the book “The Art of 2657 Productions…”. Axle sent the book to me and I just got it and I’m pretty happy with the output.

Now for the shameless promotion: You should all buy copies too! I figure I can use any money from it to pay for my web-hosting. Each book sold would be good enough for almost one month of hosting. (I can see you all whipping out your credit cards now….)

The Gita in Pictures

Here’s something that some random portion of my readers might be interested in. And don’t worry. I haven’t turned all religious. I have just always liked the pictures—they’re part of my childhood days… That… and I wanted to try out the gallery feature in WordPress to see what it is all about…

The quality here isn’t the best. I took photos of the illustrations in PS Mehra’s illustrated “Shrimad Bhagavad Gita in Pictures” which is printed on somewhat waxy textured paper. Scanning would have probably been a better solution, but it was my last day in Santa Barbara and I didn’t have the time to tackle this properly. I also didn’t really do a great job checking for the quality of the photos, and some of them have lens distortion or are a little blury; I’ve removed a couple of photos which were too blury. Maybe I’ll make up for my sloppiness later (like the next time I’m in the US). [Read on for the image gallery....]

Suckerpunch (10″ and split flexi with Born Against)

10\" LP coverSuckerpunch was one of my favorite bands who I never got to see live because I got into the scene just a little bit too late (or rather, I made friends with people with cars a little too late).

More websites…. I’m on a roll….

The Student Driven Tata-Dhan Academy WebsiteLike I said in my last post, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy.

This time, it is a website to highlight student life and student work at the Tata-Dhan Academy. What can I say? When the students don’t try to test my skills at detecting plagiarism, I actually enjoy a lot of the work and activities that go on at work….

Originally, this was going to be something intgrated with the regular DHAN Foundation website, but the students and I decided we needed something that we could update more frequently and more quickly, so we decided to go with my favorite—Wordpress.

So, head on over to the website and check it out!

2657 Productions is going to get a facelift

2657 Productions: Teaching myself WordPress theme design....
I’ve been trying to keep myself busy recently.

As I mentioned in my earlier post about the DAMN It! website, one of the reasons I did it was to experiment with some layout stuff. This then translated into me exploring WordPress Themes, using the Sandbox theme as my foundation.

There is still a bit of tweaking that needs to be done before I redirect the home domain to the new folder, but you can check out the new site while I start transfering the information and fiddling with the theme’s files….

DAMN It!

The Disaster Awareness and Mitigation Network, International!I was just having some fun at work a couple of weeks ago, trying to put some positive and creative pressure on a co-worker, so I created this fake center to compete with the center she is heading (the Advanced Centre for Enabling Disaster Risk Reduction [at the Tata-Dhan Academy where I work]). The result? Amy and I settled on Disaster Awareness and Mitigation Network, International. We even have a website!

DWAB: Kudli Song

Sulu inspects my rooftop kudil just after construction.
DWAB: Kudil Song

I haven’t recorded anything in a long time, so I decided to take my digital camera onto my rooftop hut and record one of the songs I’ve been working on. Knowing how lazy I am, this might be the only version you’ll ever get to hear! If you listen closely, you can hear all the random noises I hear from my rooftop, like the chanting from the nearby mosque and so on. In fact, you don’t even need to listen closely to hear my cell-phone notifying me that I received a text-message while recording the song…. Fun times!
