Hello. I am Raphael Baltuth, a.k.a. Vezquex, transmitting from the serene forests of the Pacific Northwest. Welcome to a showcase of professional and artistic endeavors, including electronic music and cool web applications.
The best ways to reach me are email, IM (almost any service), and Twitter. Please don't hesitate if you have any feedback pertaining to the site or my work.
I have completed two albums of electronic music, and you may listen to both in their entirety below, thanks to Last.fm. The songs are on sale in iTunes and Popcuts. You might also be interested in my profiles on Facebook and MySpace.
Vortices is a social news community where you can find cool links and participate in vibrant, threaded discussions.
Registration is quick. It's easy to post links, customize your profile, and find interesting people.
Gaming is what first attracted me to programming. I've discovered an under utilized platform for game development, which is a combination of SVG and JavaScript. I am the founder of a startup called Ludi Ex Machina, which creates awesome games that run in the web browser.
I generally like to write unless I'm being forced to.
I've had a blog for a while, but I'm posting more these days, mainly about programming and the web.
A long time ago, some friends and I had a sort of role playing thread going back and forth in a forum, and it just kept getting longer. Because of the way it was made, there are things that should by all rights be cut or at least reworked, but the task of a major rewrite hasn't truly been done, although most of it has been sort of proofread. Many people slog through it in one day and appreciate the humor. So without further, I present you with the epic tale with the odd name of VDTaFatEoD.
There are several shorter manuscripts and stories available in the Writing section.
