Welcome to Lednine. This is the personal site of John Gilbert. A father, husband, and obsessed creative tech guy. I work as the Creative Director and Head of Production at Xylem Digital. I am the occasional PM, Developer, Art Director, or whatever is needed. My passion for anything digital drives me to learn and explore new techniques, strategies, and technologies. Feel free to drop me a line. Blam!

Music Nirvana

I am a bit of a music junkie and an even bigger nerd wen it comes to electronics. I think I have found the perfect musical combination for the house. It includes the following combination: AirTunes + Airfoil + Pandora. Airfoil broadcasts my pandora stream from one of my wireless laptops to my airtunes set up so I can listen to anything on the computer across the stereo. Its #$%& awesome.

Its Like Vapor Rub. It Just Feels Right

There is something about writeing code that is very relaxing to me. I am bit sure if it’s the absolute focus you end up with or if it’s the building something part. Whatever the case is I have been enjoying a little development work here and there. Anyone that is waiting for more personal work will see a couple hundred lines of php, as3, and (god willing) objective C soon.

Ps. “soon” is relative to me not you.

Life Things

I can’t sleep. Too much crap from my day is swirling around in my head. I need a better hobby or something.

On a lighter note- http://www.youworkforthem.com has a new site. I admire the wwft crew. Check it out sometime.

Digital Video & Processing


Metamorphosis from Glenn Marshall on Vimeo.

Very cool video that was made with the programing language processing. Very cool stuff here. Hopefully flash will continue to pick up what processing has learned over the years.

Airfoil

So i just discovered AirFoil. If you have and airport express setup at home it will eventually piss you off that you can only stream music in your house from itunes. Airfoil takes care of that issue. All you need to do is install Airfoil and you can stream things like Pandora over your home system. Pretty danm cool: http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/
