In between the on-call bollocks, I spend my weekend learning the Final Vinyl interface (which sucks) and dropping the recordings into Sound Studio (which doesn’t suck) for normalization, trimming and export to iTunes for MP3 encoding and meta-data mark-up. I started doing this 3 years ago back in Baltimore and kind of dropped off for […]
I thought I had all this broken computer nonsense sorted out before my vacation. The PCI cards were re-seated and working, I’d nabbed a new power supply to swap into the system, and the PC was nice and stable (w/ a few esoteric exceptions). Funny how it all unravels so damn quickly. Exchanged the power […]
Passing thought: Safari and/or Firefox plug-in/extention for Google searching that toggles whether/not to cross-reference search results against your history. Oh &emdash; and add configurable thresholds to that.
Gizmodo writes of Apple’s new G5 iMac…: I thought this picture from the floor in Paris does a lot better job of illustrating what the new iMac G5s look like in real life than Apple’s product images.

Microsoft announces Longhorn will hit is 2006 target release but at a price. It will ship minus WinFS. While a major file system overhaul should be a part of any seminal release, this is the part I find fishy: The new file system, based on database software architecture aimed at making it easier for users […]
For those not already using Quicksilver… WTF is wrong w/ you!?!? I was resistant to its alluring hype for a while. “Command-Space!? Who cares?” Oh, but you will care! Maybe I just didn’t read the fine-print of all those rave reviews but for whatever reason, I kept thinking that each time you invoke the little […]
