Iteration #30: Determination

Iteration #30: Determination (~45MB, mp3)

Determined to maintain some sort of balance in my life, despite the fact that recently it has been coming at me from all sides. I also decided to use this episode to inaugurate my new digital recorder.

Colophon: Musical samples from the Beatles, Genesis, and Sloan. Intro and outro from part of a remixed tune by Brad Sucks. Toolbox for #30 includes my new Sony ICD-UX200 recorder which joins the rest of my trusty kit: Powershot SD600, Thinkpad X201i, iTunes, VLC media player, Audacity, Mp3tag, Picasa, Photoshop CS3, Flickr, and Blogger. Shout-outs to the Scarborough Dude.

Back and doing much better, thank you! Thoughts on the importance of balancing work and home, an update on some recent accomplishments, and more.

Colophon: Musical samples from Jack Johnson et Primus. Additional audio from Simon Ramo's film All About Polymorphics (1959) and the video I helped make for Open Access Week 2010. Intro and outro from part of a remixed tune by Brad Sucks. Toolbox for #29 includes Zoom H4, Powershot SD600, Thinkpad X201i, iTunes, VLC media player, Audacity, Audio Extractor, Mp3tag, Picasa, Photoshop CS3, Flickr, and Blogger. Shout-outs to Michael, David, Robin, and the Scarborough Dude.

Iteration #28: Compression

Iteration #28 (~41MB, mp3)

A somewhat self-indulgent trip through a rough week, ending with, I hope, a better understanding of my tolerances. (FWIW, I had considered scrapping all these clips and pretending that none of it ever happened. In the end, however, I felt it important to include them, if only for the record. Not all iterations are going to be rainbows and unicorns...)

Music: Nirvana, Coldplay, and Better than Ezra. Intro and outro from part of a remixed tune by Brad Sucks.
