My name is Erik Mallinson. I draw pictures, make music, and some other stuff. I like playing the ‘ukulele, riding my scooter around Boston, and playing board games.
Follow me on Twitter (@erima) if you’re into that sort of thing.

As I just mentioned I created a ink–like preset for Offshoots. I’m not totally sold on my finished work but there are some neat things about it. I slowed down the brush speed and configured it so that only one thing could draw at a time. Because I set the minimum branch size to 1 it sometimes creates imperceptible changes to the image, which in turn changes my awareness of the space.
Offshoots is a Mac App and Screensaver that creates random branches. The preset includes a lot of variation and colors but by exercising constraints it’s possible to make a pretty beautiful screensaver.
Next I am going to try just all black and white, in a calligraphic style.

Seems like a nice, simple, audio recorder for Mac.

SignalApps creates desktop software that integrates with 37signals web software…
They have one product right now, Logbook. It posts to Backpacks Journal page. I’d love it though I balked at the $13 pricetag even though I avidly use the Journal. To make things worse – it didn’t work at all.
