Hi everyone, I just wanted to give you a heads up that Matt’s Live at the Concert Hall performance airs tonight on Bravo! at 10pm EST. My brother and I were at the recording for the show and it was a lot of fun; very different atmosphere than a traditional rock concert. It was particularly [...]

For those who are not aware, Matthew Good’s new album Vancouver is currently being aired on his website. This is slightly different from the previous web stream in that a) it is higher quality, b) it is live, i.e. everyone listening to it hears the same thing at the same time, and c) there are [...]

Last week I posted my first puzzle. I only received one response this week; it was from Calden, whose solution was quite a bit different from mine but which also made plenty of sense. I’ll cover his solution later on; for now, here is the intended solution. As you recall, we have two one-dimensional ropes at [...]

This is the first puzzle in what I hope will be a successful series operating in concert with Calden. This first puzzle is fairly straightforward and was posed by another student at SFL. You are given two one-dimensional ropes. Each rope takes exactly one hour to burn, however the time is not distributed evenly through the [...]

A while ago, I speculated on the possibility of a forthcoming live recording from Matthew Good. I’m a little late bringing you my overwhelming joy with this news, however we are indeed getting a Live At Massey Hall recording. Basically, the release is going to go something like this: October 7th — iTunes release (first 12 tracks) October [...]

I know that I haven’t been around much lately, but don’t worry, I’m working on a couple posts regarding A) my new apartment and B) my new M.A.Sc. position at UTIAS/SFL. In the meantime, I nearly fell off my chair watching this video: I don’t know what they were dangling to make that cat come forward, [...]

Recently, Matthew Good has been experimenting with some possible redesigns for his blog. In addition to a more artistic air, Mr. Good is attempting to bring more focus in the design to his musical endeavors. This includes a more prominent media player, recent del.icio.us links, and a notification area in the header: Several months ago, Matt [...]
