EarToner 1.2 Released
With a big thanks to Gianfrancesco version 1.2 of EarToner has been released. The biggest change is that it is now in Italian. A minor change was made to the tuning interface to simplify it.
New Song (Keelan Over)
OK, after a much longer break than I planned on taking from posting I’m back. This time, I’ve got a little ditty to share.
There is a young pianist in the Boise area that shows great promise to doing great things if he can further combine his raw talent with some serious woodshedding. As […]
The point of social formalities
Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide the lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as “empty,” “meaningless,” or “dishonest,” and scorn to use them.

fx.Color
I’ve been using the moo.fx library with great success on some internal projects at my day job. One thing that I found missing was some sort of visual cuing by the changing of colors.
I could get a visual cue using the opacity effect from moo.fx, but I wanted something similar to the highlight effect […]
How Do Credit Cards Relate to Terrorism?
Uh, ok. This just isn’t right: Pay too much and you could raise the alarm. What happened to “…home of the free”?
