Flufftronix

DESIGN

• greg palast remix contest - A stylish mini-site for remixing this bestselling, award-winning, muckraking journalists audio book tracks. The design’s been completed, we’ll see how the remixes turn out
• voteraction.org - A light site redesign and conversion from static HTML to CivicSpace, with some contact resource management and intranet features.
• lostfilmfest.com - Migration from static HTML to a Wordpress 2.0 blog, complete with an upcoming events listing, photo gallery, feeds, etc.

COMMUNITY

• Art Hospital - A gallery and performance space at 1021 S. Walnut in Bloomington, IN which I participate in running and booking events at. I’ve also recently started doing some light web application integration work for stuff like photo galleries and a web-based show inquiry/booking interface.
• No Sweat! - The local United Students Against Sweatshops affiliate at Indiana University. I usually end up providing design work, and try to help out with logistics and planning when something interesting is going on.

MUSIC

• Marine Corspe - The culmination of three years’ messing around with sequencing software and software synthesizers.
• Flufftronix (DJ) - Now that I’ve got some turntables and a Serato box, I’m trying to play dj sets out a lot more, and find a regular night here in Bloomington.
• Electrocute - My atttempt at bringing exciting, progressive, and ecstatic dance music to Bloomington. We’ve had four events so far, and have another four in the works right now. Stop by some time if you’re in town!

PAST PROJECTS/PROJECTS ON HIATUS

• Unicron - A mix of death metal, prog, drone, and dance, all of of a laptop and some MIDI controllers. This may very well resurface once I get a MIDI foot pedal rig.
• gregpalast.com redesign - A total redesign and data migration project for an investigative journalist, filmmaker, and writer. Migration is from a time-tested yet somewhat antiquated ColdFusion setup to a Wordpress-enabled Web 2.0-friendly blog/portal.
• Democracy Uprising (semi-functional archived page, minus graphics) - In the Winter of 2005, myself and four friends all moved into a house in Santa Barbara, CA to try and start a group called Democracy Uprising. We tried to raise money via various schemes, for buying a bus to convert to run on grease for a three month tour. We planned to travel across the country with a dozen activist friends, cross-pollinating ideas and dispatching an extra 15-25 folks for whatever ongoing projects needed help wherever we were. The bus was bought in Austin TX, and broke long before it ever got to California. A great idea coupled with some organizational flaws and ridiculously wishful thinking apparently results in learning a lot, yet with few other signs of success. Duly noted.
• Brick House - A community space in Louisville, KY which I provided some design work for. It was one of the reasons I was inspired to move to Louisville in the first place, though original space had closed and and the new one was defunct and under renovation until right around when I left two years later.
• Various other half-baked schemes, wild plans, wrecked ideas, and “shall never speak of again”’s.
