SRC ID

Over this past weekend I found myself sifting through the dark dirty corners of my external hard drive, which amongst other things, seems to contain an archive of random dj mixes from my years previous running Subsystence web broadcasts out of my apartment (perhaps defined as a precursor to podcasts) and the Subsystence radio program (broadcast from Northwestern Universities WNUR studios).

Below is a complete broadcast from the later. This is part test of a new Wordpress Plugin (found here). The mix is fairly distorted and well, sloppy, but that’s how I like it.

track length: 1:02:48

Side note

For those with a quizical look on your face (for the one, maybe two people who read this blog currently), I used to DJ, and for a while tried my hand at web broadcasting from my Chicago apartment. That site was called Subsystence, for which you can find some information here.

Well I’m only two days away from leaving for Austin, Texas, home of the yearly pilgrimage that is the South by Southwest festival. A week plus of music, film, graphic art, and interaction design nerd-dom.

2007 was my first time attending the event, and I had a blast. I went fairly unprepared due to the fact that I was overworked and under deadline, but I went anyway. I learned a lot, met a number of interesting people, and even bumped into an old friend and classmate from Purdue that I hadn’t seen in over 10 years.

But this year I plan on doing things a little differently. I’m actually, well, planning. Figuring out which sessions to attend, calendaring the laundry list of interesting evening events from booze parties to heady conversations post conference.

The best part. I get to meet up with one of my partners and a potential team member while down there, and to ice the cake, I’m traveling with a fresh Alpha release for our upcoming product. If you’re lucky I’ll share, gain some feedback and hopefully some new contacts.

Looking forward to seeing everyone down there, and you’ll be sure to find some updated posts and photos here and elsewhere.
