    I, like many musicians and sound designers need a space in my home to produce music and other audio content. One of the biggest challenges is making that space insulated enough to avoid noise leakage in or out. A lot of noise can travel between rooms through the home’s ventilation and (obviously) windows and doors. […]

    Webby Nominated

    [UPDATE – We won!] An episode of the “Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls” podcast that I sound designed is nominated for a Webby award – link to vote is below. I find this surprisingly thrilling.

  • Going Solar

    “This roof is perfect for solar panels.” That was a persuasive selling point for us. We had been renting apartments in California for 7 years and knew when we made the leap to a house we wanted solar panels. Electricity from the grid in California is expensive, relative to the US average, though that wasn’t […]

  • Nature watching at home

    “Are you sure which side of the glass you are on?” – Nine Inch Nails This sheltering in place has made me into a budding birder (not really). I am moved everyday by the beauty of the nature right outside my window.

  • Music for Savage Breasts and Scorned Women

    I went searching for a misquotation “Music soothes a savage beast”, and found… William Congreve writes in his tragic play The Mourning Bride (1697): Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.

  • Where’s the car? Learning to code an alerting solution in an AWS Lambda function.

    Code can do it. You can code. Do it. As a co-founder and leader at Tesloop I was constantly finding ways that code could solve problems. Tesloop provided a new kind of shared-ride transportation service in Tesla cars. The shared ride model and the electric cars both presented unique challenges.  One challenge was coordinating between […]

  • Oh no, I broke my nerdboard. How DIY electronics skills and open source software saved the day, and my hands.

    My hands were hurting. I work in software development, spending many hours each day typing, and I also play bass guitar in two bands (one coincidentally named Static Hands). The toll this took on my hands became so great that I was experiencing muscle spasms that immobilized my right thumb. Ouch. At the greatly appreciated […]

  • Musical Mithridatism

    “Why do you listen to angry music?” The question caught me off guard, when my mom posed it out of the blue. Why did I? Angst alone would have been an adequate explanation then, I was an angsty teen. Which begs the question; Why do I still listen to angry music now, as a happy adult? At […]
