The Idler was born of a combination of concepts discovered while exploring various domains of knowledge during the second half of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s.

(« Morpho emerging from its chrysalis » by Thomas Bresson)

That which you can't abide

Embrace as if a friend

Once you two have allied

No thing will make you bend



That which you can't escape

Welcome as a teacher

You will never espouse

I went to see my movie "The Capricorn Conundrum" play at the Lumiere Theatre in San Francisco tonight along with some other great short films in the 48 hour competition. It turned out really good although the director tells me he had to cut some scenes but will be adding them back in for other film festivals and that the longer version is much better. I thought our film was really one of the best (and not just because I was in it as a tv reporter) but because it showed some real professional…

This a movie I was in playing the role of a tv reporter and it plays at the Lumiere Theatre Thursday night in San Francisco twice. It is a science fiction movie. I also happen to be a Capricorn. I hope to see you all there!

Today I acted in a new science fiction short movie called "Capricornundrum" playing the role of a tv reporter. This movie will show next Thursday night in San Francisco at the Lumiere Theatre as part of the San Francisco 48 Hour Film Festival. My scenes were filmed in Oakland near the Chabot Science and Space Center so a free tour of the whole place was included which was quite interesting. After seeing all the interesting science exhibits, we headed to San Francisco for dinner and a night…

« Reinfused » is basically a rehash of outtakes and already presented material. This comparatively short instrumental piece with an emphasis on shifting time and forward movement is intended to suggest a surge of energy that allows the removal of obstacles which prevent progress, and thus permits a successful completion.
