It was interesting to be on this end of the YouTube algorithm for once. Which is such a shame, I was really looking forward to the ad revenue out of that video… On my one subscriber storage channel. Sony Music actually blocked my video in Japan and demonetized it. Just thirty seconds after the video went up, I got this: I’m glad I took a few weeks to get to this blog post because now that I’ve marinated on it, the whole situation is hilariously ridiculous.īut all worth it to finally get that finished project up on YouTube so I can show it off!Įxcept the process of getting it uploaded actually made the whole story even more ridiculous. The more I watch this over the more I’m convinced it is my magnum opus. Should be asleep because I have class in a few hours, but instead I’m doing Frankenstein surgery in iMovie to try and revive an old animation I did using Scratch back in 2012. Big tests coming up and here I was laughing like a maniacal idiot, cutting together an old Scratch animation from 2012. adventure to Frankenstein the video together with its original audio timing: In iMovie, naturally. When I pulled everything onto my laptop, it became a 2 a.m. So… it’s a good thing I had the song file in that original folder!ĭon’t ask me where I got it because I don’t know and it was probably illegal. However it wasn’t possible to do screen and audio recording at once through the older tech. That got the video in its purest quality! Needless to say I was not able to get the kind of quality I wanted out of this.Īfter a few more attempts, the best solution wound up being a QuickTime screen recording. At first I attempted to record it externally with my iPhone: Thus the true quest to save my magnum opus began. That wasn’t much of a possibility for a computer that hasn’t been updated since 2012. It all began that night when I opened up the old Mac and watched this animation in Scratch for the first time.Īs it turns out, the only way to pull projects off of Scratch was to go to the program’s website. The journey to get this to you here today was far more complicated than it may appear, however. I even went so far as to put the little floating heads in the sky to represent Sasuke thinking about his past! It’s incredible to me how I actually grasped the concept of timing scenes to the music so well (mostly). Crunchyroll has it uploaded here for you to see, and I’d recommend doing so to understand how much I tried to replicate. Now for those of you who don’t know, the video is based off the fifth anime opening to the original Naruto series. So much so that I went through a lot of trouble to get the final (though unfinished) animation into a format where you all can see it today. I couldn’t imagine anything good coming out of this animation from 2012 Jason… Yet I was blown away by just how great of a product I pulled together. Not only was there a “fan animation” based on Naruto, it was made in the primitive programming language animator Scratch.īack in the day I used the program religiously, and even made some animations that went into official school broadcasts at Adams Middle School. Flashbacks to a true period of weeaboo sensibilities that left me doing things like watching all of Dragonball, Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT over the course of a few months in middle school. My immediate reaction was a hell of a cringe. In my “fun stuff” folder, I found these three files partitioned off: A project with so much love and passion put into a creative route I’ve since abandoned that it was actually astounding. Sifting through the garbage brought me to something that I ultimately came to refer to as my magnum opus. Oh, and when I say memes, I mean trashy memes all saved up on my desktop. Then I wrote about Armagetron Advanced, a game I really loved playing back in the day.īut I found a whole host of other things from the oughts and early twenty-tens, including elementary/middle school assignments, the first chapter draft of some fantasy novel I tried to write as well as memes or projects that provide a very distinct look at the kind of trash I loved growing up. wallpapers, which I tried to coincide with the release of Smash Ultimate. My personal favorite so far regarded the Super Smash Bros. Ever since I booted up my old desktop Mac a few weeks back, I’ve written a few posts about some of the goodies I pulled out of it.

Old circuit boards with gold-plated contacts are sold for real money to people who strip and recycle the gold.Īnd of course jewelers never, ever, throw away anything! The smallest scraps are carefully collected and either reused to repair another piece, or sent off to refiners who separate out any alloying elements (typically silver, copper, or platinum) and return the pure gold to circulation. If you die with it in your teeth, chances are you won't go to your grave with it. It's so expensive, and so easy to recycle, that virtually none of it goes to waste. But still you see a lot of aluminum cans going in the garbage. Some recycling operators don't even want it because it can be more expensive to handle than it's worth.Ī larger fraction of aluminum gets recycled, because it's more expensive, and easier to reprocess into new things. Only a small fraction of the paper and cardboard in the world gets recycled. Here is the back side of this coin (click either picture to see it larger):Ĭlick the Sample Group link below to see many other coins made of various elements, or click the link to his website above if you want to buy one like this. I guess it was just cheaper and easier this way: No wasted gold. This is the only coin in the series with a ribbed edge, which comes about because, unlike the others that are stamped from blanks punched out of sheets, this one is stamped over the top of some other gold coin (in the rotation video you can actually make out faint traces of the date from the old coin, invisible to the naked eye). He's developed a line of coins struck out of various common and uncommon metals: They are quite lovely, and very reasonably priced, considering the difficulty of creating some of them. If you don't live in Los Angeles (and let's be realistic, who would want to?) you can buy one direct from me.ĭave Hamric sells element samples under the name Metallium. I visited them once and asked the store manager if they had been doing something unusual to use up so many of them, he said no, people just keep buying bunches of them. It's actually a science museum, and it has the distinction of having sold more of my photographic periodic table posters than any other museum (thousands and thousands of them). I really like the Griffith Observatory even though it's not an observatory (it's in Los Angeles, you understand). Isn't it wonderful that stuff like this actually works? The net effect is to move gold from the cool to the hot end and deposit it slowing into crystal shapes like this. At the 300C end gold reacts with chlorine to form AuCl 3, which travels over to the 500C end where it decomposes back into gold and chlorine. One end of the ampule is heated up to 300C, the other end up to 500C. Gold is placed in a sealed ampule with small amount of chlorine. It was created more or less for fun by Ivan Timokhin, using chemical vapor transport. This is a small but jewel-like crystal of purest gold. Thin platings of gold give you a lot of pretty for a little money.Īnother pretty vapor deposited gold crystal: See previous sample for details. These are cheap mall earrings I picked up while my daughter was getting her ears pierced.

He owned and ran The Scene, a celebrated East Coast nightclub, managed Tiny Tim and (among other ventures) had an ear for finding talent. Steve Paul was a self-styled entrepreneur in New York City. In their 1968 feature, writer Larry Sepulvado described Wmter vividly as “a 130-pound, cross-eyed albino with long, fleecy hair, playing some of the gutsiest, fluid blues guitar you’ve ever heard.” This review set in motion a chain reaction that catapulted Johnny to the forefront of the eras blues and rock movement. While he was busy shopping this record (which ultimately was released by Imperial Records as The Progressive Blues Experiment) to the bigger companies, Rolling Stone magazine printed a glowing article on the ambitious Texas blues scene and the sensational unsigned local gui¬tarist. During this period he recorded some demo tracks which have since appeared on numerous unauthorized collections including “First Winter”, “About Blues” and “Early Times”Įventually, Johnny cut a proper demo album for the Sonobeat label. After a series of abortive groups with Edgar (It and Them, Johnny and the Jammers, the Black Plague), Johnny traveled and worked as a backup guitarist for regional touring bluesmen. By then he had accumulated an enormous record collection and had in fact learned to play much of it note-for-note his tastes ranged from rock’n’roll (Elvis, Carl Perkins, Fats Domino) to r&b (Little Richard, Chuck Berry) and post-war Chicago blues (Muddy Waters, Otis Rush). Most of his practical musical education, however, came from “learning to play a record note by note”Īt around age 14, Johnny began playing professionally. Additionally, Winter sought out local guitarists Luther Naley (who played with cow-boy star Roy Rogers) and Seymore Drugan to show him some country and jazz licks and chords. Garlow, a recording artist in his own right, became something of a mentor to Johnny, sharing obscure blues records with him and teaching him the basics of playing and important details like using an unwound third string to facilitate bending notes. Already enamored of rock’n’roll, he was drawn to Clarence Garlow’s radio show and the intriguing sounds of artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Otis Rush and Muddy Waters. These early experiences sharpened the Winter ears and vocal cords and provided a natural and supportive environment of invaluable musical training.Ĭoncurrent with his switch to the guitar was Johnny’s discovery of the blues. Encouraged by their father, who played sax and banjo, sang in the church choir and was an ardent fan of big-band jazz, Johnny and younger brother Edgar participated in family songfests that included involved barbershop quartet harmonies, accompanied by their mother on piano. The young musician was unable to continue on the instrument due to his overbite, and switched to ukulele and, finally, to guitar when he was around 11. Inundated and inspired by the multifarious sonic currents, he embarked on an irrevocable artistic course while still in his preteen years, assembling his musical lexicon from radio and records, and building the foundation of his striking instrumental and vocal style with a no-compromise philosophy of approaching the blues.īorn in Leland, Mississippi, and raised in Beaumont, Johnny took up the clarinet at age four. These musicians made an indelible impression on a young and receptive Johnny Winter. This was the land of T -Bone Walker, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Lightnin’ Hopkins of Buddy Holly and Bob Wills of Clifton Chenier and Gatemouth Brown. The sounds emanating from the regional radio stations in the 1950s and early 1960s were no less diverse. Here rock’n’roll, blues, western swing, gospel and r&b ingredients mix with Cajun and Creole flavors to yield a rich, complex and hearty musical gumbo. Lying near the Gulf Coast and very close to Louisiana, the Triangle plays host to a variety of cultural and ethnic influences: French and European, Native American, African, Caribbean and Mexican. It is a region of oil and sulfur production, shipbuilding, rice farming and shrimping. The cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange in southeast Texas form an area called the Golden Triangle.

Now, to ensure it has adequate social distancing and all of the safety and health protocols in place to be in compliance with all current county and state guidelines, tour groups have been reduced and restricted to those in a visitor's immediate household. Traditionally, a guide led a tour group of up to 25 people through the mansion. When the California Historic State Landmark reopened, it was quite a different experience from how things were done before the pandemic hit. Since tours began in 1923, over 13 million people from around the world have walked the rooms of the historic 160-room Winchester Mystery House. The travel and tourism sector has been one of the hardest hit industries of the coronavirus pandemic, and Magnuson described the last four months as an “absolutely challenging and unprecedented time for us as a historical cultural attraction.” “Once we received word that we would need to temporarily pause our indoor mansion tours, we quickly pivoted to design a new experience for our guests that shares some of the most famous and infamous stories surrounding the mysterious estate,” Magnuson said in a recent statement to reporters. However, credit the Winchester mansion for adjusting yet again and coming up with a different experience for patrons to enjoy. The buzz of excitement lasted all of a day before operations were shut down again in what could've been a demoralizing blow. We have high hopes and I’m so unbelievably excited.” “I think the Winchester Mystery House in some ways is a time machine, and I think nostalgia can be a great salve in times like now. “Oh my gosh, we could not be more excited to welcome back guests inside this incredible mansion,” he said. The new tour allows guests to roam the expansive abode while hearing tales of its former inhabitants and exploring the estate's supernatural lore.ĭays before the initial reopening for self-guided tours, Magnuson said he was thrumming with anticipation. In its place, the Winchester Mystery House is launching a new outdoor evening experience, Walk With Spirits Tour, running from 8 to 11pm Wednesday through Sunday. However, the tours had to be suspended the next day in accordance with the new state health guidelines. 1 question I received from visitors is when would they be able to see the house again,” Magnuson said.Īfter months of working with local officials, the mansion reopened for self-guided mansion tours on July 13. “The response was very positive, but the No. Winchester Mystery House General Manager Walter Magnuson has regularly strolled the grounds of the iconic San Jose landmark since mid-May, when the estate’s Victorian gardens reopened for public viewing. |
