Thanks for your interest - it's been a lifelong pursuit. There was an old upright piano in the house while I was growing up that I always gravitated to. Had about 10 years of piano…

Of all the services I've had to interact with to get this album out digitally, Bandcamp was easily the most streamlined and easy to use. Definitely recommend them to anyone as a fi…

Thanks! This description is hilarious - I may have to blurb it for promotional material (if you don't mind)!

Thanks. I really struggled with mixing the guitar and so many layers of synth. At this point it is what it is but I am definitely iterating on my process for the next album.

Hey thanks! I would love if you could say a little more here - what exactly do you mean by making the guitars less detached in the highs? Currently iterating my creative process fo…

I have been so pleasantly surprised at what a great adaptation the TV series has been so far.

Thank you! :D

Recently released my debut album, "The Good Ship Cacophony" as Space Pirates Guild. Heavy guitars, synths, drum machines. - https://open.spotify.com/album/6YS0IJarvrzMtZzYMiN51z?si…

I think you've touched on one big source of this problem, which is that many of these icons have been trademarked and saddled with all manner of usage restrictions and licenses. As…

I recently had this exact problem. THE FIX: Log in to your Apple support profile, go to the devices section, then unregister all the iOS devices associated with your account.

John Mayer speaking at Berklee College of Music had this to say on the subject: > “The tweets are getting shorter, but the songs are still 4 minutes long. You’re coming up with 140…

> the 0.01% of the time where they are "activated", they do their job just fine. Several homes I've lived in had smoke detectors that would false positive on a somewhat regular bas…

I propose that one factor exacerbating the negative feelings around this particular product launch is that Google has failed to create a good customer experience during purchase (p…

For someone who's not familiar with the app, I have to do a lot of decoding of your home page to figure out what exactly the product is and why I should be interested. Your /tour "…

We used Lockitron at the Cloudkick office. Super convenient, as it let anyone at the office buzz a guest/delivery through our outer door without leaving their desk. Also awesome: t…

You can literally see the aforementioned concepts if you observe the visualizer.

Thank you for posting this; many of the original comments from this thread have been deleted, including the one Linus was responding to. So, while I support the source's position, …

So much is dependent on the app. It's hard to discuss the iPad without tacitly including the entire associated software ecosystem (without really being conscious of the scope of th…

Just saw an awesome documentary on Anonymous at the Slamdance Film Festival (Sundance's indie younger sibling). Interesting and well made. Would recommend it for anyone who is inte…
