744,880 Reasons to Hate iTunes

2007-11-04T05:59:00.000-08:00

I was listening to music in iTunes for about an hour this morning. I started to notice the audio popping. I figured it was a bad MP3 until it was every song. I looked at my system monitor and noticed that 70% of my 3GB of RAM were being used. Task manager told the tale.

I wasn't ripping songs, or transcoding or watching video. Just listening to music. Anybody explain how iTunes managed to do this?

Metroid Prime 3 could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo

2007-06-24T07:53:00.001-07:00

The latest Play issue pretty much confirms that the motion controls for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will be amazing. The controls work better than typical dual analog schemes, back tracking works much better than in the other MP games, and MP3: Corruption could be "the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo."

Pandora

2006-01-08T21:53:00.000-08:00

I'm going to break my stand M.O. of just blogging stories from Digg.com. I'm going to talk about something I actually found on my own. I am a music lover. I've got my entire music collection in MP3 format and playable through my TiVo. That's often good, but often bad. 5000 songs with no real way to sort them. I often think it would be great to sort them by when I was interested in them. Because all that music I bought I was 12 isn't something I'm going to want to hear right now, at least not randomly. Better yet, sort them by mood. Impossible to do myself and the services that do that won't work with my TiVo. Even still if I could potentially sort them and play in the best way possible I still would be pulling from the pool of 5000 songs. That may seem like a lot but there is at least a 2 to 1 ratio of crap to goodness. 1700 good songs and 3300 bad ones. That's probably too generous. So music is going to get old. What happens when I'm tired of those 1700 songs. What do I do, stop listening to music and become my parents? I've been saying since I was a kid, I'm never going to drink coffee and I'm never going to stop listening to music. Twenty-seven and still drinking Mountain Dew... check. As for the music, I'm always fearful of my tastes stalling. Stuck listening to the stuff I listened to when I was most impacted by it. Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Tori Amos, etc... I'm always striving to find new music but where, how? I can't listen to the radio. I'm not going to beat the dead horse that is hating radio. Radio sucks, period. And for all those people who say Clear Channel and all the corporate consolidation killed it, I say fuck you. IT ALWAYS SUCKED!
I can go to a torrent website and see what's popular. Problem is what's popular tends to be what's on the damn radio. Plus, it's freaking illegal and immoral. I'm out.
I guess I could go off the taste of my friends, but what do they know. I don't know anybody with tastes even remotely similar to mine. I'm out.
I've rambled on far too long. Let me get to the fucking point of this post. Way to hang in there, there really is a point. Imagine a group of musicians. Not a bunch of garage band hacks. Trained musicians in theory, history, whatever bullshit they study in college. This group listens to music and the categorize it. Not one band at a time, or even album at a time, but one song at a time. They look for the style of the voice, the instruments used, and a bunch of other crap that I don't understand because I'm not a trained musician. Well anyway, don't just imagine it, check it out it's called the Music Genome Project. They can explain it a lot better than I. So they've got this database of categorized music and they've created a streaming audio player. What you do is go there and type in a band or a song. Your favorite preferrably and it generates a playlist and starts playing right in your browser. Genius. I've been sitting here for the past 45 minutes listening to music after typing in one band. Radiohead, my favorite band of all time. I've listened to 10 songs and only one of them sucked ass. The rest were good to great. But here's the fantastic thing. I've never heard of one of the bands. It isn't based on popularity, it's based on the style and sound of the music. Here's an example of why it chose the most recent song. "Based on what you've told us so far, we're playing this track because it features mild rhythmic syncopation, a vocal-centric aesthetic, minor key tonality many other similarities." I don't know what that means but it sounds good. This is what I've been waiting for. Please go and check it out it's called Pandora. Tell it your favorite band or song and sit back and listen. When they pick a good song, let them know and they'll fine tune the playlist even more. It is a beautiful thing.

Bitching about the Podcasting World

2005-07-01T18:41:00.000-07:00

Well for the past couple months I've been listening to Podcasts. What I really wanted was someone who observed from the outside. I listen to Adam Curry but he is definitely the inside. He's there to promote himself and his interests. I did find a guy in Texas who's cynical like me and is really paying attention to what's going on. Russell S. Holliman is tuned and has a realistic opinion unlike our friend the Podfather. Check out the Treo Podcast

Straylight Run

I was reading one of the many blogs I read on a regular basis. This guy happened upon a song while shopping of all things. Found out what band it was and had one of those "I just discovered a great band" moments. Well, I'm going to steal his moment because I had it too. The band is Straylight Run Filled with all the angst and wailing that make a great band, at least for me. They're more than that, though. You should really check out their stuff and buy it.

Podcasting for Donkeys

2005-05-17T20:23:00.000-07:00

I'm really into podcasting right now. It's refreshing to hear people talk about something interesting for a change. The name is a little deceiving. You don't need an IPod to listen, you don't even need a portable audio player. What you do need is a computer and an internet connection, which you clearly have. I've been listening through my networked TiVo which is really convenient, and a welcome change from the crap my TiVo is recording lately. If you want to get started here are some links that will help.
www.ipodder.org
This site is where you can get a program to subscribe and automatically download your favroite PodCasts, look on the right side, you'll find links to all the info you need. It also lists several thousand active podcasts.
www.podcastalley.com
If you want to know what other people are listening to go here. People vote for their favorite podcasts and the compile a list of the top 50. With thousands out there it's important to know what's worth listening to.
Two I suggest are "The Dawn and Drew Show" and Adam Curry's "Daily Source Code" both in the top ten at podcast alley. If you want nerdy check out "this WEEK in TECH". This is how I got into podcasting and that's explained in the previous post.

Welcome, I guess

2005-05-09T22:40:00.000-07:00

This is my blog. Just to warn you up front. It isn't going to be funny. It isn't going to be insightful. It probably won't even be interesting. I am here to test out the concept of Blogging. My original opinion is that it's pretty lame. We'll see. I thought Podcasting was lame until I started listening, so maybe I'm wrong about this too.
I haven't determined what I'm going to talk about here. Anything and everthing I would imagine, except the Coen Brothers. If you've wound up here by accident while looking for info on your favorite nerdy filmmakers, first you're an idiot and second go here.
