I’ve written once before about connecting an electric guitar to your computer for recording tracks, and although it’s been popular I think it was entirely too lengthy and complicated for the simple process of plugging in to your Mac. Continue reading →

Something’s missing
Okay, I’ve finally figured it out. I know this site has kinda gone by the wayside several times in its life. I’ve flirted with it, posting a lot for a week or so before eventually going away for a while. Most of those attempts were experiments, and I largely got disinterested because I hadn’t found anything that I could write a lot about for several articles and people actually care about. Because of that I posted about whatever was cool for me at the time, and now from looking at the statistics I can see what ended up gaining the most attention. Continue reading →

Final destination
So I read on London’s Times Online (via NPR) that a woman who quite luckily missed her flight on the Air France 447 Flight was killed in a car accident just eight days after she would have died in the plane crash.
This kinda reminds me of the movie Final Destination, where the main character has a vision that his plane will crash and gets off the plane at the last second with several of his friends. The plane crashes just as it had in his vision, except he and his friends survive. As the rest of the movie pans out, his friends slowly die in strange accidents in the order they would have died on the plane. The idea of the movie is that you can’t cheat death. If the universe decides it’s time for you to die, you will die.
I just thought it was odd.
