Top 10 ambient albums

http://www.discogs.com/lists/Top-10-Ambient-Albums/25708

So I remember to look later. Found this while attempting to find an ambient album I used to listen to back in the day...turns out it was Atlanta, Georgia-based artist John Serrie's "And the Stars Go With You" (1987). It turns out he wrote it in memory of the astronauts lost in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986.

Criterion Collection


Movies watched this weekend:

Breathless (Godard)
The Seventh Seal (Bergman)
The Red Balloon (Lamorisse)

Hulu offered free access to their Criterion Collection this weekend (albeit, with commercial breaks).

Quite offputting; try to imagine one of cinema's landmark B&W films interrupted by full-color orange juice and car insurance commercials.

Klaus Schulze

Klaus and I share the same initials...watching a video of him from 1977, I see his initials on his equipment. ; o )

Charles Mingus

Listening to Charles Mingus' discography at the moment.

The Big Empty



Still trying to find the quote from this movie, provided by Gary Farmer's character "Indian Bob" after he drops off John in the desert.

UPDATE, 2013-12-22:

Finally transcribed it myself:

J: And then what?
B: Stand there and wait
J: Wait for what? What's happening here, Bob?
B: The same old same old.
J: Am I going to die?
B: We all die John Person. Just a matter of when. Just the way of the world. You finally ask yourself: Was my life worth living? Did I make the right decisions? Did I do the right thing? Will I be remembered? It's a tough old road we follow, isn't it? Myself, there's a lot of things I want to accomplish before I leave this earth.
J: Yeah. Me too, Bob.

Online LaTEX editor

Awesome! Now I can practice writing LaTeX : o )

For example, here's (modified) code to write a function, via John D. Cook:


T(n) =
\left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
2  & \mbox{if } n = 2\mbox{ }, \\
2T(n/2)+n & \mbox{if } n = 2^k \mbox{ , for } k > 1
\end{array}
\right.
