I find that I truly enjoy being fascinated with a particular topic or subject. It doesn’t necessarily matter what the subject is, and moreover, I find I can become fascinated with almost any topic. I don’t feel the need to master the subject; rather, maintaining an intrinsic fascination with something appeals more to me than mastering it.
I’m a lucky guy!

I didn’t really think about this until it was too late! I have a guitar case, and in it I kept a few extra 9-volt batteries for the acoustic guitar pickup. Well, at a recording session the other night, I threw some CDRs in the case. They weren’t touching the batteries; there were probably a few strings, picks, and some papers in between the CDs and the 9-volts.
Here’s a nice one for ya. It’s an apple/mac dashboard widget that will check your Google Adsense earnings. Simply install the widget, enter your login criteria, and slam. You’re golden!
I’ve been using this guy for a few months, and it works great! It actually pulls the data from Google’s API directly or from another source, as I often notice that it’s a bit quicker to update than Google’s Adsense interface.
Here’s a link to download the widget over on Apple Downloads.
If you hold the guitar up toward the tv, to where your line of sight sees the guitar string first and the tv in the background, you should pluck a string. You can actually see the wavelength of the vibrating string at whatever note you’re playing. Try changing the note (ie finger the first fret, then the second fret, then try other stings). This is really cool.
I’ve been keeping my eye out for this one for a while. Since Google’s mobile version of their site is loaded when I view google.com on the iPhone, it’s not easy to check Google Adsense earnings on the iPhone.
Only in my town would something like this happen. An Asheville girl changed her name from Jennifer to CutoutDissection.com, in hopes to dissuade animal dissections in public schools. Does this have anything to do with PETA? Yup, it certainly does.
My brother posted a few really nice shots of concrete textures. These shots can be used for creating edgy, grungy, or just textured backgrounds for your website. He’s released them for free use for any purposes, personal or commercial, so enjoy!
