Tune-Up for GarageBand is a collection of over 500 loops exclusively created in Apple Loop format for use in GarageBand. Unlike many other loop producers we offer a variety of loops, this is probably the nearest thing out there to Apple's own Jam Pack. We want to give users the ability to create whole tracks using our loops rather than just giving them a disc full of drums. Tune-Up Pack 1 is available at just $34.99 including delivery worldwide....an absolute bargain!

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

An R-Rated Trademark Dispute?

An R-Rated Trademark Dispute? 04/19/2005 04:16 AM
The MPAA really does get a little crazy when it comes to over-reacting on intellectual property issues. Their latest move is to send out cease-and-desist letters to sites that host fan fiction -- not because those made up stories use characters, places and themes from real movies -- but because they use the (trademarked) MPAA movie rating system. That's right, if you happen to label your story as rated G, PG, PG-13, R or NC-17, you'd better watch out, the MPAA might come after you. Of course, they seem to ignore the fact that this system has become common around the world, is hardly taking anything away from the MPAA's own system (if anything, it enhances it), and also is useful in keeping age-inappropriate stories off the screens of those who shouldn't see them.

Object relational mappings are
over-rated... 01/01/2004 06:18 PM

... At least according to Tim Bray:

Lots of architects have learned, painfully, that you usually can't magick relational rows away behind object/class abstractions. The right way to think about a database is as a set of normalized tables that are designed to be addressed with SQL strings.

This brings in to focus something I've been thinking about for quite a while. I always try to abstract away the details of the data storage layer behind some kind of interface, so that none of my front end code ever has to make a direct database call, instead calling methods on my application objects with names like "get_user_by_id" or "get_blog_entries_for_date". The idea is that I could, if I wanted to, completely switch out the underlying data source. I should also be able to write new front-end functionality that calls the existing application layer methods without having to change anything in the data access code.

There are a couple of problems here. Firstly, I've already got a data abstraction layer in the form of SQL. Although there are many discrepancies between implementations, basic SQL statements such as selects and joins should work on pretty much any database. Additionally, in my three years of building web applications I can't think of a single time I've needed to change the data layer for an existing application.

Modern database features such as stored procedures and constraints allow you to move huge chunks of application logic that relates to data coherency in to the database itself. In fact, PostgreSQL even allows you to write stored procedures in third party languages such as Python or Perl. With carefully written stored procedures, much of the important application logic could live in the database along with the data itself - a concept comparable to object oriented programming where the data and the methods that can be run on the data are encapsulated together.

I certainly haven't made up my mind one way or the other, and at the end of the day the best approach is the one that gets a project completed in a reasonable time frame and that results in easily maintainable code. Plenty of food for thought, in any case.

Subservient Chicken's X-Rated Bits
Exposed by Code 04/09/2004 04:04 PM
Following up on the launch of Burger King's "instameme" promo -- background in this earlier BoingBoing post -- geek supersleuth NEMESIS reveals the Subservient Chicken's naughty little nuggets:

"By backwards engineering the API within the HTTP headers, you can un-censor the censored ones:
Link 1 (scratch, crotch, balls, nutsack, destroy tokyo, stomp, godzilla, jonny rotten, punk rock, fsu, fuck shit up)
Link 2 (rub, chest, breast, breasts, boobs, jugs, tatas, hooters, jugs, nips, burning man, mardis gras, girls gone wild, playboy, penthouse, barely legal, leg show)
Link 3 (give bird, give the bird, bird, middle finger, flipping, fuck you, fuck off, flip , flip me off, flip them off)
Link 4 (shit, ass , fuck, cock, pussy, motherfucker, cunt, piss , arse, suck, dyke, bitch, clit, cum , dick, dildo, feces, felch, foreskin, whore, jizz, jism, masturbate, jerk, anal, bastard, blowjob, butt, suck, choad, erection, fellatio, incest, semen, tit)
Link 5 (touch yourself, naughty spot , naughtyspot, private, privates, sore, nuts , testicles, balls, groin, crotch)
Link 6 (show breast, breasts, tits , titties, slut, whore, tramp , seduce, hooker, prostitute, tatas, jugs, nice rack, your rack, tatas, show yer tits, show yer breasts, show your breasts, show yer tis)
Link 7 (masturbate, masterbate, play with yourself, jerk off , take off mask, take off costume, take off your, streak , flash , strip , naked, nude, take it off , get naked, take it all off, nekkid, get nekkid, whip em out, show your tits, show yer tits, tits , take off your clothes, take off yer clothes, clothes, off like a prom dress, prom dress, do me , blow me, take pants off, take off your pants, mask)

But to paraphrase another fast food empire: Where's the bukkake? Link to copy of file with index of all Subservient Chicken Behavior commands, many of which would merit FCC fines, if they were -- I don't know, read aloud on the Howard Stern Show or something. (Thanks also to Josh Santangelo!)
