My Cigar Box Slide Guitar

A few months ago I was working on making my own instrument from a cigar box. There are many guitars made out of odds and ends, and cigar boxes have been popular for do-it-yourself blues players since pre-war legends. Being an amateur craftsman with wood, I made the best out of my skills and the… Continue reading My Cigar Box Slide Guitar

Comparison of Music Players, iTunes alternatives

In an attempt to give six other applications a try (I’ve been an iTunes user), I wrote up a review comparing several freeware media players with a focus on those that are designed to manage, organize, and use your music collection. I’m fairly satisfied using iTunes at the moment, but I have been searching for… Continue reading Comparison of Music Players, iTunes alternatives

Before Stardom: Super Greg

Traveling back to the dawn of the new millienium, I’d like to show you a website that was around in 2000 by a practical jokester (similar to Andy Kaufman) who has gained in popularity more recently since the making (and expiration) of the website. It was at one point supergreg.com, but now all that remains… Continue reading Before Stardom: Super Greg

Windows iTunes Scripts Downloads

I’m on a roll with iTunes-related tips lately. To better myself and others, I have made scripts that can edit music file tags, create technical playlists not possible even with Smart Playlists, and other workarounds for missing features and requests.

I’ve found a workaround for one of my wishes that Apple probably won’t be adding any time soon. My desire is to sort tracks by check mark box (whether selected… Continue reading Manage Checked iTems in iTunes

Music and Politics

Politics in music can be: a political front, where political ideology writes the music before artistic expression is considered. An example would be a singer who writes songs specifically for a party (to gain acceptance by a political party or to affect swing states or something stupid). A sub-category might be songwriters writing Christian songs… Continue reading Music and Politics

Recommendation: gHacks

Software and technology is where it’s at these days. Where what’s at, you say? I’m not sure, but if you’re like me you might be interested in a site that I like to visit pretty regularly. It’s called gHacks and don’t ask what the “g” stands for. Maybe goodHacks, goldenHacks, germanHacks… Anyway, I subscribed to… Continue reading Recommendation: gHacks

Eating Healthy will Kill You

Health foods are sometimes more expensive than your basic genetically-modified, science-tampered, chemically treated food. So if you want to consume food that’s good for you, you’ll need to work harder than those eat junk. Small farmers can barely make a living to produce food. Maybe then it’s cheaper to have a garden for yourself, or… Continue reading Eating Healthy will Kill You
