The idea from my idea muscle today is to implement a curation strategy in 2012. Curate this blog and focus on the important things, the little things. Curate and distill my email into a graphical (sketchup, blender, web tech) presentation that I can use for my home page. Take influence from my curated content, my history of influences and new ideas: every thing is mice (video, animation, words, music). Make it 90 seconds long. It needs to start of slow, subtle build up to crazy and fade out at a medium pace. As James would ask me, what are the next steps to executing?
- Curation - Dump blog into text and refine it with something (nltk, regular expressions). Mine email and calendar files on OSX to refine the details that I have control over into something like the blog format. This is my online message. After several years of email and random blogging for parental units and others. This is what the Thoughts that are important to me distill down to.
- Video. I have a few stock footages that I want to work in, the flowers in the rain. Some of Hannah running in slow motion with the neat little imovie (bar) effect that I recently saw. An animation of Bill, the stuttering robot who fixes himself when told to.
- Audio: Record and mix the three patterns (fingerpicking 1, finger picking 2 and fast strum 1) into a 60 second song. Supplement the other 30 seconds with impromtu generated (but use the same notes as are played for the patterns).
- Words: take the words and statistics that come with them and use web to present them (EmberJS) as text, graphs and animations to show time.
- Put ~/src/pm into a repository, this might get big with the media files.
