Nebula

Hello dear friends and random wanderers,

I’m introducing my first ever completed Android application into the wild. It is called Nebula Live Wallpaper and is basically a bunch of dots made to look like outer space (as best I can). I want friends who have android and know how to download and install unsigned apps outside of the market to check out this apk and put it through the paces.

The rundown of the app is that it’s a live wallpaper that gives you star and “stardust” options which control density (number of stars/amount of dust), the rate they blink and their general brightness. There’s a lot of processor use involved so I need people to let me know what phone they are using and how it performs on the home screens.

When you install the apk, there is a Launch icon, but all it will do is show the settings. It is to make debugging easier, and I will be removing it for release. Otherwise once you install the apk, treat it like a normal live wallpaper.

My major todo for official release is that I would like to add the ability to dig into the user’s photo gallery to choose a background photo, such as an actual starscape. I would include a set of these images (like apod) in the app, but I am wary of licensing issues.

Here’s the apk! Nebula Live Wallpaper

Oh, the frustration

Oh, the deadly frustration of waiting and procrastinating and actually having to work for money. I mean, what’s up with that?

Well, last night in the middle of scanning some pictures from Sarah, I decided to tinker around with some Reason and Ableton stuff I hadn’t touched since the winter. Boy have I missed it. I started a new album – Metatheories and the first tracks I’ve completed from it are totally off the hook. I’ve got two more in the pipeline that are continuing to push the boundaries of what I’m used to doing with those tools. There’s a lot going on in life these days, but I’m hoping for a late fall release. Chin up till then!

this is the sound of space when i look at it

if you read my other blog – rleecreasy.com, you know that i’ve already raved about this. but for you crazy space heads out there or for anyone that likes to look at simply amazing things, this is for you. google sky. The only reason i can think of that i’m not on that site for 24 hours a day is that it confuses the death out of me that i’m standing on earth looking at the sky, as opposed to hanging out of a satellite looking down at the earth. ancient people who were more intimately aware of the sky would have no problems figuring out what google sky is looking at. i am not one of those people.

Tumbling Gone to Poop.

I have a tumblelog. It’s called tumblr. And for those of you who religiously follow all of my pointless blogs (many blogs, few followers), I’ve been tumbling some really fun “Haiku Chats”. After some poking and prodding from my brother I’ve included a link to filter out only my haiku posts using Yahoo! Pipes. For those of you who are like “WHAT THE HECK IS YAHOO! PIPES!?!?” it’s basically a graphical programming system that allows you to play with data feeds like they’re play-doh. I’m not very good at it, but it’s still pretty fun. So enjoy!
