London Calling

Joe Streno — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 19:15:27 +0000

London calling to the faraway towns Now that war is declared-and battle come down London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls … (Strummer/Jones) And so we did. On so many levels. It was the summer of 1982. At least the beginning of it. I had graduated from CW [...]

FAIL + Noise = Replaced Apple 24″ LED Cinema Display

Joe Streno — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 20:14:27 +0000

A few days ago I had the most bizarre thing happen. I was working on my computer, a MacBook Pro 15″ 2.53 HHz Intel Core Duo Uni-body and an attached Apple 24″ LED Cinema Display. I was in the middle of something, when the image on the screen split in half. The left half of [...]

The Salvation Band – Got Gas?

Joe Streno — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 21:40:47 +0000

Music is an odd master. It makes you see things. It makes you feel things. It makes you do things. And if you possess talent … it takes you places. But of course … you have to supply the gas. Rewind to early 1980′s, the film department of CW Post Center of Long Island University. [...]

The sins of the father are visited on the son, or so it is said. I don’t know if his sins are, but I certainly know his genes are raising some red flags. It’s been a crazy month. I’ve spent a good part of it trying to find an orthopedic surgeon to look at my [...]

Shoulder To Shoulder

Joe Streno — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:09:00 +0000

The sun is shining and glistening on the clear blue water of the swimming pool. Birds are chirping and spring in certainly in the air. The balcony door is open and the cats are soaking the warmth of the rays like the furry solar panels they are. It’s a good day for good news. But [...]

Looking Inward

Joe Streno — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:11:53 +0000

Originally posted on my blog Siliconundrum. The question is … but is it art! It’s something I use to ask/say to my other “arty” friends back in Jr High back in the glorious(?) 70′s(?) … OMG! And so the question is raised today. I’m not trying to rekindle the age old battle about clay Art [...]
