Currently reading up on the iPhone OS and SDK.
1. Pete Townshend’s original 30-minute version of “Baba O’Riley”
2. Ben Fold’s original one-hour one-song demo of “The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner”
Three updates for you:
1. I “temporarily” have taken the Frostbite of the Heart EP down from the site. I hope it will be back up at some point in the future, but for mysterious purposes of my own, its spot on the internet must now remain vacant. Stay tuned…?
2. I’m going to embark on the journey of my third Facebook application soon. Just pre-planning for now, but I’m excited. It’ll be fun. Oh, yes it will, yes it will. You will like it. Yes you will. I guarantee.
3. For those who know what it means something to, the next update will arrive in a banana suit.
Oh, and just some fourth thing(s) that occur to me, if I’m doing this whole blogging my life thing; I made an order from amazon today of two things I’m really looking forward to - the “Reinhold Messner” transcription book and ”Compass Rose Boquet” by Great Lakes Myth Society, a completely unknown but awesome band from Michigan. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Oh, and a fifth thing I guess. I’ll just comment that I bought Half-Life during Valve’s crazy 98 cent sale (because it was the game’s 10th birthday, from 1998). I’m almost done with it, and I must say that it truly stands up to the test of time. Not like some games like Wolfenstein, which I feel you need to view through the lense of the times, but I feel that the innovative story-telling, creative level design, and just overall fun gameplay really do keep the game fun under a modern context. And playing through it only makes me more excited for Black Mesa, the Source mod of the game that will be free for anyone with a Source game in Steam when it comes out (soon).
That is all.
Sorry, this is old news, but I accidentally created it as a page instead of a post:
+ 2 instrumental compositions
+ 1 (abridged) original song
+ 1 piece written for Music Theory class
+ 2 DSQEJQ tracks
Go to Music page now.
Part I:
I’ve just added 6 new tracks to the music page from various sources, including the ever-popular “I Want to Love You” (Radio edit, sorry to some) as well as the award-winning “Ted E. Bear’s Mafia-Free Playland and Casino A Capella” cover. I also copied all the mp3s from all of the band pages onto the main music page for easy access. Che-ya. Chega-chega-check it out.
Part II:
Embarking on a new musical endeavor. Will be fun. Called The Drumless-Snap Quarter-Electric Jazz Quartet. Check out the page for more info. Very excited for it. Must stop walking like Rorshach.
Two pieces of update:
1. I learned this weekend how to make Facebook applications (essentially I had to teach myself PHP and SQL, which is quite mentally draining). It’s called “MyCast”, and it lets you ask the question - “If a movie was made about my life, which famous celebrities would I choose to cast as any of my Facebook friends?” and it answers the question “If my Facebook friends all had movies made about their lives, which famous celebreties would the cast as me?” (credit to Derek for first coming up with this idea). You can download the application that I made to your Facebook profile here.
2. I took the liberty to upload another East Carolina track for you to listen to. It’s a demo of an instrumental that Stu and I wrote a while ago called “Abacadaba” (which is simply the form of the piece, a rondo of sorts). It’s me on accordion and clarinet (which I had only started playing two week prior to the recording, so I took the fact that I only had one bad note as pretty good) and Stu on acoustic guitar.
Abacadaba [Demo]
1. Yes, I know I haven’t updated in a very, very long time.
2. Yes, I know that nobody comes to my site anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.
3. You should know that I am only doing this for myself.
The good news is that I’m learning how to turn my java code into applets, so hopefully I’ll put up some of those soon. Also, I’m touching up some tracks that I’m going to try to SELL, that’s right, SELL on this site if I can work out the e-commerce app.
So, yeah. Rock on.
I have few qualms with Firefox. It is a great browser, and Ubiquity, launched just a few days ago, is a life-changing addition to that.
However, Chrome is a life-changing browser for a different reason: what’s underneath. What the end user doesn’t see working. It’s as if a team of people completely redesigned and improved the way a car is powered - its engine, its fuel source, everything about how the car physically runs - but then put it in a casing that looks like a normal car, so that anybody would understand how to use it. That’s what Google Chrome is.
As part of my advanced blog stastics that tell me that nobody actually visits my site, there is a list of the most common search terms that people are searching if they find this site through a Google search.
Allow me to list some search terms that have apparently led to people visiting this site. I am absolutely at a loss for what these people were possibly trying to actually find:
