Music, Movies, and Books

"Treasures of the Sierra Madre" is my favorite film.

Astor Piazzolla & Gustavo Santaolalla are my favorite composers.

BajoFondo is my favorite band.

I love "The Calling" by Carlos Santana

But, I am a music omnivore. Mostly, music that I haven't heard yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated as part of the team to create the NeoTangoRave in Bremen, and am collaborating to create a Tango Magazine. I also design card games.

I was part of the team that built the second frame buffer - a storage device that captured a video image. I am one of the founders of ISEA, the International Society for Electronic Arts. I edited the journal "Languages of Design", and cofounded the "Computer Graphics World" magazine.
