VoiceBand for the iPhone

January 29, 2010 – 9:52 am

And while I’m rambling on about music software, this is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long while:

VoiceBand is software for the iPhone that lets you do multi-track recording using your voice as a controller for various instruments. Very clever indeed.

Pretending to be Jason

January 29, 2010 – 9:33 am

My excellent friend Jason Young is deep into the part of his year where he writes and transcribes hundreds of pages of sheet music for Baylor University’s annual Sing event. Since he recently harassed me for not having posted anything to the weblog lately, I thought I’d take a stab at pretending to be him [...]

Bibliofile Going Gentle Into That Good Night

March 25, 2009 – 8:24 am

I just sadly posted this to Bibliofile, the reading log application I’ve had up for several years now:
Well, folks, it’s time for some sad news. Bibliofile is going away on April 4, 2009.
The reasons for this are various. I created Bibliofile because I wanted to learn Ruby on Rails. Rails, however, has advanced at a [...]

Spring Break 2009

March 20, 2009 – 4:01 pm

We’ve had a pretty quiet spring break. I’ve been working half days, since the University doesn’t give us proper time off, and have been enjoying the extra time with the family. The big event of the week was a trip to Sea World. (The best time to go in Texas is probably right now, as [...]

2008 In Books

January 27, 2009 – 9:21 am

Last year, I read 35 books, totalling 9,744 pages. This is the most books I’ve read in a year since I’ve started keeping track, but not, by any means, the largest number of pages. (No Atlas Shrugged, War and Peace or anything else of the epic sort this year, apparently.)
A few personal highlights from my [...]

Follow Up

December 23, 2008 – 4:48 pm

Several months back, I wrote a little post called Two Heroes. The San Marcos paper recently saw fit to publish an excellent article on one of the people I mentioned, who definitely deserves the accolade.

Safely to Virginia

December 23, 2008 – 10:12 am

We’ve made it safely to Staunton, Virginia, where we will be spending the next week and a bit with Kathy’s sister Karen, her husband (and my college buddy) Jeff, and their passel of delightful young ones.
The trip up was much more pleasant than I’d feared. On Saturday we made it from San Marcos to New Orleans, [...]
