Tannoy Reveal 601P Review
[July 28, 2010]
If you have no interest in studio monitors (or don't know what I'm talking about), the rest of what I'm about to say is irrelevant, but since I can't be the only one who couldn't find any info on these things, I might as well be someone who posts it. Especially since I now have them.

Yoit!

Baweeto: A game from Bahrain that involves dice and spitting which was adopted by the Bhutanese people. iBAWEETO: "There's an app for that!"

Dear Sire Records
[March 9, 2010]
It's probably not going to be heard because her lousy label is promoting her with a bullshit single instead. And here's the nutty part: her record label...? It's you.

Apogee Duet Noise: The $2 Solution To A $500 Problem
[May 8, 2009]
Plug it in... there's noise. Unplug it again... it's gone. Ah-HA! Here's the $2 fix:

Don't Upgrade To iTunes 8 (...yet)
[September 16, 2008]
If you use custom EQs for any of your songs, don't upgrade to iTunes 8. Wait for the next update.

Boom Here In 1908. Boom There In 2008?
[December 21, 2007]
60,000,000 trees were wiped out. Sixty Million! And here's the crazy thing: the asteroid didn't even reach the ground. It turned into a giant fireball as it burned its way through the sky. That fireball is what hit Siberia.

Woo Hoo! Guess Who Bricked His Router?!?
[November 6, 2007]
I was dinking around with something that needed no dinking around with, and I turned my wireless router into a paperweight. And that's awesome since paperweights are so damn expensive these days.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!
[October 26, 2007]
Yes, of course I named my new Mac, and yes, of course the name is brutally obvious.

The Ridiculous Ease of Backing Up A Mac
[September 18, 2007]
All of my music! All of my photos! All of my notes! And letters! And... And... And... ...oh GOD. All of my work. Past, present and future projects in progress. Gone.

iCrapped MyPants: The Sequel
[September 5, 2007]
This morning, Apple unveiled their latest update to the iPod, and it seems to me that the press is completely missing what makes this thing spectacular.

Set Your Free Scroll Free
[August 11, 2007]
I don't normally do technology reviews and how-tos here, but I just spent two hours doing something that should have only taken a few minutes. I thought I'd post what I learned in hopes that someone else might avoid a similar hassle. The Logitech MX Revolution is an amazing mouse, but the software that comes with it is a nightmare. Here's how I got mine up and running...

I Will Never Again Rename The Hard Drive I Use For iTunes Music
[July 29, 2007]
I Will Never Again Rename The Hard Drive I Use For iTunes Music. I will never again rename the hard drive I use for iTunes music. I will never again rename the hard drive I use for iTunes music.

Business Card Design
[May 20, 2007]
Turning my work-site into a business card, and judging the results by looking at what others have done for creating creative business cards. Whooooo... there's a lot here to digest.

How can this not be in my spellchecker? Those fucking sucker duckers! WTF!

Goodbye Qwest
[January 14, 2007]
I'm now officially a Vonage user, and so far, I'm really impressed. My internet phone sounds clearer than my Qwest phone ever did. It sounds the same, just a bit clearer.

V.I.S.T.A.

Windows VISTA, coming soon to a blue-screen near you.

iHeart Apple
[September 14, 2006]
One of my biggest complaints about the shift from physical media (records, tapes and CDs) to digital media (mp3, m4a, etc) has been the loss of album art. With iTunes 7, Apple brought back album art in a big way.

Fix Quiet Songs In iTunes
[July 1, 2006]
Here's one I feel like an idiot for not discovering sooner. Some songs are louder than others. Well, okay, I knew that. And I know the reasons why that is. What I didn't know was how easy it is to fix the levels on even the quietest of songs.

iWhat?
[June 30, 2006]
Must. Step. Away. From. Computer. Now.

Hey Jimmy, Do You Like Candy?
[March 24, 2006]
"Hey, kid, do you like candy? Do you like doing IP tracerouts? What do you know about SSL Ports and IMAP Servers? How are you with upgrading MT 2.65 to 3.2? Can you program in PERL? Hey! Where are you going! NO no no... don't walk away!!! I've got candy!! CANDY I tell you!!! CANDY!!!"

Make An iTunes Jukebox
[December 10, 2005]
The real power of iTunes, in my opinion, is the ability to combine categories in these smart playlists. I've listened to music differently ever since I first discovered this. Maybe you will too...

Dear Tech Support
[August 5, 2004]
When I call and you know I'm fucked, why not just say it? Why put me on hold for five minutes so you can tell everyone else at your how-to-not-get-laid-tech-center how very fucked I am?

iPoo
[May 29, 2004]
My music library has a Poo index of 19. I'm told the Witchy Poo "Pitching Woo" record rocks, but that's more Woo Poo than I'll do. Even for you :)
