I share my experience of PodCamp Boston, my current social anxiety and self-loathing, as well as my plan for a new future. The music I chose is fitting…
If you don’t already write songs regularly, then it’s safe to say that you don’t yet have a songwriting habit. Because if you did, you would feel compelled to write songs every day and perhaps all day long.
This is a long overdue check-in. Let me tell you about life as an artist 2.0.
Boing Boing posted an article summarizing Jakob Nielsen’s findings that web-headlines benefit from the use of the passive voice.
The Collaborative Piano Blog started 31 days to better practicing on October 1st. I’m only just finding it but so far it looks like some really good advice. It would probably go well with my schedule to turbocharge your practicing.

Mark your calendars. 12 weeks of intense “Music Hacking” begins on October 15th. Visit Absolute Pitch University for all the details. But you must do it fast because seats are strictly limited.
So far, hundreds of Diggers are getting their mind’s blown over the Shepard tone audio Illusion. I have to agree. Listen to what I mean. When the video is done playing, replay it to hear the exact same audio seem to continually rise in pitch.
I used to be an Ecto user but I have since seen the light and call TextMate my be-all-end-all blogging tool. The only thing I missed was being able to use Ecto as my external blog editor while reading feeds in NetNewsWire. Not anymore!
