There has yet to be a satisfactory system or program that allows tagging multiple custom keywords for a music collection that works on a personal audio library. Besides documenting the available options, this is sort of a request to developers (especially on mac or multi-OS) who use digital music (and possibly iTunes). Let’s get open [...]

I’ve always been fascinated with mashups. There are some wonderful songs that mix into an equal or better song than the original. There are also mash-ups that mix two already poor songs into a worse song.
I attempted to contribute my remixing cents into the pot and I chose “No One” by Alicia Keys to dub [...]

You can get the printer driver offline easily!
I know this is petty, but I find it humorously bothersome (not really though) when someone says “You can preorder Aqualung’s new album Words & Music offline.” So I can order by phone or reserve one through the postal service because it is offered OFFline? Disconnect your modem! [...]

Round two of the monthly mixtape. I’m still behind and that is alright because I am spreading these out.
“Break My Body/Hold My Bones.” Those few words get trapped into my earbanks. This song is about as gritty as it gets this month. Here’s a live version.

It’s about time I made and shared a monthly mix of songs that call out to me in some way. Instead of going the illegal route and handing out a downloadable mp3 playlist, I figured I’d capture the collection on video where possible.

Personal finance is important, especially in economic slumps. Whether you are an in-debt college student considering student loans or a successful business owner with a sum of unspent funds, you need to keep watch over your money. Making money is something altogether a different subject, but once you have it you should let it work [...]
