The past week and a half I’ve been emptying the garage to turn it into a true studio to work in. This was prompted by a trip to Ikea. I took a before picture: And that led me to notice how awful the place looked… even not counting the mess of stuff everywhere. I made my plans for [...]

A year ago I was feeling pretty comfortable with my first CI. I’d survived the summer band concerts and was taking a class in Houston to prepare for the PE Exam. I remember the class being the first environment where I thought two CIs would help a lot. A large room, a sound system, ventilation [...]

I’ve been having fun playing with a site called Tagxedo (that’s like Tuxedo but with Tag). It’s similar to Wordle but has more features, like you can choose the shape you want your word cloud to appear in. This one is a list of all the songs that the saxophone ensemble I play with has performed. [...]

I like that the NY Times wrote about closed captioning on the web earlier this week. But I had to laugh at their quote that YouTube “supplies mostly accurate captions using voice-recognition software.” MOSTLY accurate? Right. Far from it. I assume the Google Voice transcripts use similar technology, and usually I would say, they ARE [...]

So Don and I purchased a high quality, American made, 40 Watt laser cutter. I’ve had it about a month now. Back in March, a week or so before the iPad came put I picked up the most boring domain name I have owed so far – iPadLaserEngraving.com. I added minimal content since I didn’t even have the [...]

This started as a Facebook status update but got way too long. I haven’t annouced it here yet have I? May 14 is my last day at USJ. People seem to think it’s Rupert’s “fault” that I’m leaving but it’s really not that specific. I like what I do here and I’ve worked for a lot of [...]
