I was a MA/MST student at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Accoustics.

I finally hit my stride yesterday. This term is giving me a taste of the research side of the audio world. I'm having a great time building tools and analyzing sounds for my research project with Jonathan Abel, but I'm also seeing how there are far more topics to explore than I could possibly investigate in my lifetime. But far from being depressing, it's exciting. Probably means that I'm in the right field. Julius Smith has the following formula for deciding what's worth doing: (importance / ((# other people doing it)(difficulty))). Seems pretty good to me. It's hard to believe that the quarter is nearly half over. I'll start posting final project updates soon. And here's a signal processing / filter design joke I came up with today: Two DSP students met in the hall. One of them said to the other, "Why do you seem so down?" The other replied "I asked the professor if this is an all-pass course." "What did he say?" queried the first. Replied the second: "No, it's minimum-grade." Well, good thing I'm not trying to be a comedian...
