I got tired of staring at the one barf-colored wall left in my cubicle – so I used Rasterbator to create a large elephant image from a picture I took at the Nashville Zoo. Note the copy of “From the Earth to the Moon” in there, next to the CSS Pocket Reference and my Firefox [...]
Just a couple of recent pics from the mattlife. Some of these I shot in raw and used Microsoft’s RAW thumbnailer/preview tool to export the jpegs… and i think that tool sortof does a terrible job of adjusting white balance and such… I need a better (free) program for that sort of thing. Perhaps GIMP.
Hello everyone! I’m rolling out a stupid little app for my greenville friends today. If you’re not in my Greenville circle of friends, you may need a little background here… Actually, this origin story has become the stuff of legend over time, so the following may be totally inaccurate. A while back, two of my [...]

A while back @chasemacri said to me that he had the perfect title for my upcoming album: Cosmonautical. He was right of course, except for the fact he later pointed out that The Transmissionary Six had already used that name. Oops. So we got talking about album titles and @katiegiesbrecht and @katenetzler suggested some good [...]

I was editing some drum parts yesterday that my friend Seth Rouch played (for an as-yet metaphysical, theoretical upcoming “album” of mine), and I came upon an interesting problem that I thought I would share with teh interwebs. Drum flams: where’s the beat? You all may call me crazy, but IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, I [...]

I found this mp3 on my hard drive tonight. I fired it up and to my surprise found that I had a nearly fully-formed song there that I had completely forgotten about. It has a bridge and everything. I figured I needed to post this so that when i’m on my computer and trying to [...]

Caught my German Blue Rams spawning: Get the Flash Player to see this player. Check out what happens when one of the Cory’s gets too close. They are so oblivious to their surroundings sometimes… We had heard horror stories about Rams getting aggressive when mating and corys losing their eyes… Luckily none of that here. [...]

Lately I’ve really been in the mood to build things. So I was very happy when I finally got some cash lined up and plunked down for the really nice-looking Seventh Circle Audio A12 preamp kit. My audio/recording friends will know why this is such a big deal, but for the others, it’s a thingy [...]

After taking a MCTS certification practice test and getting several questions wrong, I started delving into them to figure out what I needed to study. It was then that I found a question asking how to save an image as a JPEG. The test claims that there are two correct answers: a) Bitmap bm = [...]

I haven’t blogged in a while, even though I think I’ve been doing some cool stuff. So I am posting a life update. First of all, I’ve had the overwhelming urge to build crap. I’m building a small whiny synth-thing, building an amp for it, and putting the whole assembly into one half of a [...]
