  • Upgrade to WordPress 2.0

    I’ve upgraded the blog to WordPress 2.0. Everything looks fine to me, but if you notice any strange behavior, let me know.

  • I’m an Excellent Blogger

    Dad let’s me blog slow on the internet. But not on Monday, definitely not on Monday. I guess you can’t put much faith in online quizzes… After reading this post on Steve Pavlina’s blog, I decided I would take the Autism Quotient test myself. While I’m answering the questions, I’m thinking, “Hmmm I bet I…

  • The Mixing Engineers Handbook

    I began learning guitar a little over two years ago at the tender young age of forty. At this stage in my life, the amount of time I have available for me to spend practicing guitar is in short supply. I also don’t have many opportunities to play with other musicians. For these reasons and…

Rather than measuring the frequency of the sound your guitar makes, the strobopick is like a miniature strobe light that allows you to see when the string is vibrating at the correct pitch. This allows you to tune extremely accurately and…

  • DVForge JamPod

    The JamPod is a cool little accessory for you guitar and iPod. It’s a tiny little guitar amplifier that sits on your iPod and allows you to jam with your guitar to music on your iPod through your headphones. I thought this was a fun thing so I pre-ordered one back in March of 2005…

  • New About Page

    I’ve added a page explaining the name of this site:

  • Finally a Heuristic Virus Scanner

    The problem with signature based virus scanners is that they take a reactive approach to security. Only after a new virus is discovered to signatures become available, so there is always a window of vulnerability. As virii become more sophisticated and propagate faster, this lag becomes more of an issue. This Report on Robin Good’s…
