When I want to learn more about a MIDI sequencer or DAW I do a cover. It frees my mind from having to think a lot about the actual music and more about just getting it into a computer.
I also apply the same exercise to virtual instruments. If I want to get my feet wet [...]
eMusic is sending out emails requesting that users fill out a survey asking them about features they’d like to see, what they dislike the most, and how the service can improve.
There were 3 big things for me: 1 – Switch from MP3 to AAC or even FLAC. This would be awesome. 2 – Make the previews play [...]
Maybe I’d like to think I am – I did send feedback for iPhoto in 2005 that said something like “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if iPhoto had something like podcasts for pictures? You could call it ‘photocasts’ or something like that.”I’m sure (or at least hope) I wasn’t the first to think about that.Yesterday [...]
I don’t do web development full time and I still want features that Dreamweaver has. So why would I get a license for Coda?Part of it is because I want to discipline myself into doing more hand coding. I can do most HTML/XHTML coding with no problems, but I still need to pull a reference [...]

Hardly anybody knew anything about Coda 48 hours ago, but I’ve been wanting it since I first started using Dreamweaver on OSX. It was another instance of a Mac app that’s not really a Mac app. Panels that are floating windows piss me off. They don’t want to stay put and they just get in [...]
I guess it wouldn’t be right to talk about GTD without mentioning Quicksilver.The basic introduction that everyone gets to Quicksilver is to think of it as an application launcher. Well, that’s great, but why have a launcher when you have something perfectly capable like the dock?For starters, the dock gets in the way. It takes [...]
Sometime soon I will be moving this blog from subtonic12.blogspot.com to www.barbarism.net.
I’m not switching to Wordpress (although it tempts me). I’ll continue to use Blogger for hosting and publishing.
A word of warning for others thinking of doing this. I had some difficulties with the registrar, Dreamhost. They don’t offer CNAME record controls for domains hosted [...]
