After getting a random spark of inspiration to work with Quartz Composer, I searched through my mac, but it was nowhere to be seen.
I thought it was because I updated to Mountain Lion, but that wasn't the case at all. Apparently when you upgrade to the newest version of Xcode, it doesn't include any of those additional tools.
After about a 10 Minute Google search, I finally came across a post in the Apple forums that gave me an almost Direct Link to Quartz Composer.
After going here, you will have to sign up as an Apple Developer if you aren't already. It's free to be a developer, just sign up.
Quartz Composer is Located in "Graphic Tools for Xcode: Late July 2012"
I'd encourage you to search through the other tools to see if anything strikes your interest, I ended up also downloading the Audio Tools package.
Have fun! I'd love to see what you created!

How long does Mountain Lion take to download?
I've searched for this question for a VERY long time with no results.
So here is the answer, for me it took about 2 Hours.
If you want internet specs and/or computer specs for what I used let me know.
Also, if you haven't started the download.
Mountain Lion is $10 cheaper than Lion was, with over 200 new features.
Including a Siri-Like text to speech system named "Dictation"
It learns and adapts to your voice/accent the more you use it.
UPDATE: I just got it installed which took about 40 Minutes or a little less, minus the reboot time.

Lack of posts Explained! (and Ouya Post)
What's up with the lack of posts??????
Here's the answer: I'm moving all of the blog content to a website I'm working on, It's still in the very early stages, but it's coming along quite nicely. If there is a post that I can't get out of my head, I'll be sure to post it here while the site is under construction. Speaking of posts, what do you think of the Ouya?
It's Android's attempt to bust into the console market, however it's COMPLETELY different!
Instead of relying on big game publishers for the games, they are using the true innovators, the ideas behind the big games. None other than, the Indie community! You know, people like the creators of angry birds, or the MANY free online sites over the web.
I'm very interested to see how this plays out. It was the fastest kickstarter to ever reach $1 Million. It's got over $4 Million in backing money, which has proved people REALLY want this! It also proves that graphics aren't always the best. The value of playability still lives!
Not to mention, the controller is still going VERY strong, as far as I know there is no motion control planned at all.
One more thing: I'm also waiting for OSX Mountain Lion to be released so I can give you more posts, in greater detail.

Want to "work" with Cyphyn?
BE A PART OF CYPHYN!
So......I'm currently teaching myself HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. I'm wondering if anyone would ilke to "beta test" A.K.A be part of the creative process, possibly draw a few images.
There's no pay, (don't have any money coming in to give any out.....yet), I'll be sure to copyright all of your images so they can't get stolen.
I think it'd be a fun experience to work together, and hangout (if you're around my area). I know I'd have a really fun time!
If you aren't around we could Skype chat and collaborate, maybe do a planned live stream to get real-time ideas and interact with everyone. COMMENT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!
How cool would it be to say, "I helped create that" or "I made that drawing". There will be no "tight" deadlines, and like I said before it is all volunteer based. But, I would love to "work" and interact with everybody. I'm spilling ideas here: I just thought, maybe we could do a weekly "podcast" live, over Stickam.com.
Comment if you're interested and I will email you the test link.
Thanks so much!
