Return of the Robots.
Perhaps Evil Spud Boy was too hasty in saying farewell to QRIO and Aibo. A lot of speculation on the internet indicates that Google is up too something and I think we know what that is. First, we see that Google is teaming up with Volkswagon and nVidia to create a new vehicle navigation system.…

Reading Music: Part One
Among guitarists, the subject of whether it is important to be able to read standard music notation seems to create a lot of controversy.

Fairwell, QRIO, I hardly knew you.
Engadget posted a story that Sony is ceasing development of the Aibo and QRIO robots. I’m very dissapointed about this. Sony just recently released Mind 3 for the Aibo.

Dell Inspiron and M-Audio Firewire Problem
Not long ago, my homebuilt desktop computer died. This happened around the same time that Cakewalk started shipping Sonar 5. I had pre-ordered the upgrade to Sonar 5 and it when it arrived I was eager to try it out. Since I had also recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook computer and since it…
