“Apple is a walled garden. You can only install what the let you. They’re too controlling.” etc. etc. etc.
Yes, I know. Apple calls down from their ivory (or brushed aluminum and black?) towers, tell us we can only install stuff from their App Store onto our iDevices. Now [...] Continue Reading…
The bill for Sirius renewal came last week. About $450 for three years, or $12.50 a month. Now, let me start by saying I LOVE their music stations: Octane for hard rock, Liquid Metal for metal, their 90′s grunge channel, their classic rock channel, etc. But times have changed [...] Continue Reading…
Guitar synths, devices that allow guitarists to tap into the world of synthesis and sampling, have been around for many years; decades actually. The method for last 20 years (for Roland, anyway) is two install a special pickup that senses each string individually, and converts it to information that [...] Continue Reading…
A fellow member of an Internet forum I frequent pointed out that Guitar Center, the major chain of music equipment sales, has a used site that links all of their stores’ inventories.

Last night I was participating in the required online discussion for my wireless technologies class. This topic, for me, has been beaten to death, but unfortunately I needed to take the class for my degree, so on I go.

So I happened to be at the Apple Store yesterday, picking up more computers for work, and I happened to notice a whole stack (about 6 or so) Apogee Jam devices. This was interesting to me, because everywhere I’ve looked online are backordered.So, I bought it, to use with [...] Continue Reading…
Since as long as I can remember, video games have been a popular past time. Atari 2600′s, Nintendo (the original 8-bit system), Sega Genesis, Playstation, and now the XBox 360 have all been the go-to devices for night-time or rainy day entertainment. The problem is, they’re not relegated to [...] Continue Reading…
Last June I wrote a review of the You Rock Guitar, a combination game controller, MIDI controller, and practice “guitar”. While initially I had been happy with it enough to keep it, I soon grew weary of waiting for Inspired (makers of the YRG) to update its string sensitivity [...] Continue Reading…
I work for a company with approximately 175 people. One would think that a company of this size is ideal for a service such as Microsoft’s Office365, which provides generous 25GB mailboxes that integrate nicely with Active Directory. No, we’ve got our own Exchange 2010 Enterprise server.
Overkill? Probably.
Now we’re [...] Continue [...]
