What is VOCALOID?
This one question has started a whole new direction in life. I had no idea this would develop into what it has and even though I am a week away from the event it scares me to know what else may come.
I submitted to MomoCon the idea to host a panel for Vocaloid. It’s a basic introduction into the world of VOCALOID and going over the community, programs and music behind it. In the last few weeks around starting a new job, I believe I have some pretty cool stuff to show off and demo for this event and with any luck, it will be easy. In front of 150+ people…nothing can go wrong right? 
Life Summary
I have been kind of busy with life so far. I am currently working full time and kind of really enjoying it even though the job takes a lot of time off my hands. The days go by quick and I black out and I get paid. I sometimes forget what I am doing.
I am out of the house and have my Mom living on her own, now she has a boyfriend living with her and it has been crazy. I have a lot different projects going on when I have free time. One of them is starting an online radio station for Vocaloid music. I haven’t told too many people because I think I am a little ashamed. I am coming to the conclusion that I need to stop thinking and do it and not worry about what people think on it.
I really enjoy this music because it fits me you know? It is fake, all of it, but the people behind it are amazing and do great work and hearing the vocaloid voices are fun and seeing the models they use for the music is just something out of this world.
More to come!

A Week on Music Unlimited by Qriocity
What exactly is Music Unlimited? Well, when Sony decided to create a cloud based music service and offer additional content while on the go, that is Music Unlimited. Qriocity powers this service, you may be familiar with the branding Qriocity if you’re a regular consumer of Playstation Network and the PS3. The service ties nicely through your PSP, PS3, and Android capable phones.
Qriocity Screen Shot
I was, curious about Qriocity with the large amount of similar services coming out as of late and wanted to try each one out to see what fitted with my lifesyle. I tested Qriocity first through my Desktop, Laptop, PSP and my Samsung Galaxy S Phone through T-mobile. As with all technology, understand that it will provide different results for different people and reason. Read the rest of this entry »
The Google+ Review
I have been testing out Google+ for the last few weeks and I am glad to see something new in the realm of social media. The more and more I see the stationary blue colors provided by Facebook, I want to vomit. At around this point in the game, you would think SOME kind of change may have been made.
I will admit that back in the day on MySpace, the barrage of changes made on peoples pages were horrific. However, some change is nice, maybe pink. With that being said, Google came out and present a lot of great features starting at Huddles, creating Circles and sparking interests. Which I believe is one of the better unknown features of Google+ that most may not understand.
Data Caps
Nice little story at http://www.ozymandias.com. The guy reached his data cap for Comcast and they killed his service. They didn’t just cut the service off for a few hours or days, they cut him off for a year!
Not sure why service providers are doing this, but to me, I would figure they are loosing money. One person paying $60/mo, that is $720/year! They are loosing money, for a service they are overcharging for and throttling to make it slower to make sure they milk us for what it’s worth.
I will gladly say I will never do business with Comcast…

Just to let you all know, the project I am working called “The Demon’s Rook” has just passed it’s goal in the last few weeks. Come May 2nd, we will officially be ahead of the game with additional funding that we can use on makeup and extra missing equipment we need for the movie.
The movie is going to take a while, but there is a lot of work to go into it. Please follow our twitter and Facebook page if you can.
New Projects
Sort of excited to see some new development underway. I am working with some other producers to develop some online content together. We are really looking forward to bring quality content to release online. With our combined efforts I see us really getting something done. Can’t wait to see what happens of this. Now we just need a name for it.
