Zygote Fuzz Pedal
Germanium. It sounds exotic. It’s an inferior material for an electronic part but something makes it desirable some 50 years after its original use in guitar effects. So of course, I had to build a fuzz based on this element. These are not good starter projects for a few reasons, one being the polarity is…

To Do Apps… What To Do?
The Potion Factory finally came out of hiding and released v1.0 of The Hit List (after 2 years of nothing).  At the same time they released the iPhone app and their own proprietary sync service.  None of this is cheap. I have THL on my Mac.  I was a champion of it for a long time,…

Studio Six AudioTools
I finally broke down and got this app, as I figure I will be needing it in a little while. It’s quite an extensive app, much more than the RTA I was expecting. It has A- and C- Weighting (as well as none) for the RTA, as well as peaks and average SPL displays and…

MacHeist has an iOS app
MacHeist, notably using “The HEIST” as their new tagline, has just today released an iOS app. I was at first put off that it was 99 cents, and not free, but I realized it almost certainly leads to some serious savings in something else. If only I knew what that something else was, to know…

Another Javascript book
I decided I had better complete my Javascript trilogy with the first book. (The other two are Javascript: the Good Parts and Javascript Patterns) This is a major book for a major language. I think I agree with this guy to a point, that Javascript is possibly the most important language right now. It’s weird…

HEIST
MacHeist is happening again! Â Check out http://www.macheist.com and it should make (very little) sense. Â It’s a sort of puzzle game with some super software rewards connected with it. Â It usually ends up with a software bundle for sale, but not until after a ton of stuff gets given away for free!

SimCity 4
I picked up SimCity 4 Deluxe for $5 the other day. What a bargain! This is a really cool and deep game. Of course I started out with a city called “Tinatown”. The Road Rage expansion is cool too, you can drive around in your city on a few various missions, though they are a…

iPhone Programming & Objective C
A couple of weeks ago I started down a long & twisty path, by reading about iPhone programming. I first bought the eBook to the right, but put off starting to read it until I had worked my way through a bit of a backlog. In the meantime, I discovered the great iTunes U program…

New JavaScript book
I got my new Javascript book delivered yesterday. My first thought was that it was quite thin (it only has about 150 pages including the appendices and index)! I took a look at the first section, and it’s quite thorough; the author himself states that it is quite information-dense, and that it will require a…

Style tweaks
First, I want to overlay the title over top of the header image. Next, I’d like to add a third widget column. Why are there so few 3-column themes?
