iPhone Peeve #1: That Damn Volume Slider
9 months ago
So, why do we need that volume slider everywhere?

Does anyone ever use it? I know I don’t. The iPhone has actual physical buttons for controlling the volume. When I take a quick glance at my iPhone to check on the music, I am never interested in what volume I’m playing at. I want to know the progress of the current track, and how many tracks are in the current album/playlist.

That progress bar at the top there? That’s what I want. And the only way to find it is in the detailed view in the iPod app. Why can’t I have it in place of the ubiquitous yet useless volume slider?

People have too much money, or concert tickets are too cheap, or both
9 months ago
Because a lot of people at concerts have a tendency to act like idiots. And most of them get way too drunk. And it only takes a few assholes to ruin much of the experience for many.

But when the band is Porcupine Tree, much is forgotten and forgiven.

Bach: Double Violin Concerto in D Minor, 1st movement

I’ve watched this video again and again over the last few days. It’s brilliant and captivating. Baroque music seems to work very well for this kind of visualizing, because of all the stuff happening at once.

Also, my grandfather loved this concerto and used to listen to it all the time. This brings me back.

This has got to be the awesomest sound visualization system I’ve seen (apart from tesla coil speakers).

Color picker thingy

I got the idea for this type of color picker earlier this evening. Before I knew it, this is what I had.

Pretty, isn’t it?
