Vincent Willem Van Gogh – Immersive Experience (Seattle 2021)
I dream my painting and I paint my dream. I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process. Vincent Van Gogh Vincent Willem van Gogh only lived 37 years (1853-1890). His brother Theo was his closest confidant for life. Van Gogh killed himself in July 1890. […]
Games & Apps [by me] — all in one place
This page is a single, nifty starting point for various games I developed for desktop and mobile for intellectual curiousity and fun. They are all free, and ad-free. No cookies. No gimmicks. These will run on any modern smartphone, tablet, PC (see each description below as some are made to run on any device, and […]
Some of my faves: Live-Streaming Underwater Cams

Let’s listen and enjoy the simplicity of the notes as well as the creativity of the video (unfortunately, YouTube removed all the official videos, so you’ll have to go pay for it). You don’t have to like it…you just have to understand.
Creating Custom Buttons Glyphs & Behavior (for touchscreens)
Howdy, today I continue the discussion on designing fun web applications using MIT’s Scratch platform. In my earlier blog about Scratch piano playing game, I mentioned how Scratch apps that listen for keystrokes only won’t work on smartphones and touchscreen only devices and that Scratch platform does not support Buttons or touchscreen natively, so it […]
My Latin-Arabic guitar hack
Hi again, so this one is about how to simulate (fake?) latin or even with an added flavor of arabic tune/music in the guitar. Total improvisation…this is NOT a song. I’m just demonstrating that the notes can played with to create your own song while retaining the “flavor” of those cultures. Here I’m just goofing […]
My 2nd attempt at rendition of Last of the Mohicans theme
Again, used my guitar to simulate the music. Second attempt, a little better I think. Used 1 electric guitar used connected to my small amp with Reload fx. Then played intro and chorus as separate tracks and recorded them into an open source app; then merged the tracks and edited the length and added some […]
