Tuning in with TunA 12/04/2003 04:43 PM
We're still waiting for the first wireless iPods to appear, but Media Lab Europe is already working on a software application called TunA for streaming audio between wireless PDAs, cellphones, perhaps someday, even MP3 players. Most certainly a promising step, but we'd much rather be able to swap files with our friends, not stream them. One of the big problems with TunA is that if the person whose device you're streaming from moves out of WiFi range, you're out of luck. Read [Thanks to everyone who write in with this one]...

Called GarageBand, it is simple enough for those of us who’ve never touched a keyboard or strummed a guitar yet advanced enough to appeal to a polished practitioner.” [Mar 1]

Time for loving


Time for loving 09/17/2004 02:38 AM

I can't believe how much I love FuzzyClock. If you've never heard of it, it's a simple app that puts the current time into natural language. So instead of 2:53 it will say "ten til three." At first I thought the lack of accuracy could be a problem, but I've got lots of meetings and have never been late (just wait until it says "shortly before eleven" and you'll be on time for it). Here is what it looks like on my current menu bar (also running: audioscrobbler, slimbattery, and instiki).

On the surface, it simply saves you a half-second of converting the numbers 3:41 into "about twenty to four" in your head, but in practice it removes a small mental tax you put yourself through dozens-to-over-a-hundred times per day. After months of running this app in place of the standard clock (I disabled it in my OS prefs and run fuzzyclock on startup), I feel liberated in a small way. I've spent my life surrounded by clocks and never realized how much easier it is to read "half past twelve" than reading numbers.

Last week, I noticed Flickr does timestamps on comments this way, which is a great idea and something I should really do at metafilter. Someone's already written a function for it in PHP, I'm sure it'll be a MT plugin soon, if it isn't already.

Submission by David Shamoon Two thumbs up for Mambo.

What a relief it was to use. Finally something that breaks the Nuke mold. It’s really slick and easy to hand off to non-technical people. You don’t have to disable a lot of features that you’ll never use.

Loving Norah Jones 01/16/2004 01:02 PM

I tend to listen to same songs over and over with my eyes half-closed.  Many of the songs I am enjoying of late are Norah Jones songs.  She sings very well but I enjoy her songs because they are easy to sing.  Here are some of her songs I like:

  • Come Away with Me (sleepy seduction)
  • Don't Know Why (fast moody jog)
  • Lonestar (best on horseback)
  • One Flight Down (slow moody swaying)
  • Shoot the Moon (excellent guitar!)
  • Cold Cold Heart (nice rythm)

If you haven't discovered Norah Jones yet, check her out.


Loving and Hating iTunes


Loving and Hating iTunes 12/19/2003 11:54 AM
A new PC World music column explores iTunes and how it changed the world of digital music. Stressing the superiority of iTunes for Windows over many competitors, the article does mention several concerns. One such issue is the way Apple updates iTunes, not as patches, but as complete version upgrades, meaning many-megabyte downloads. Another concern is difficulties moving songs from a work computer to a home computer, and the fact that an iPod cannot be used to do this. The article...

I am being forced to watch the Finnish qualification for the Eurovision Song Contest. Dear Lord. This is like watching Idols - the first few rounds. You know, the ones with the acne-faced idiots who actually think they can sing?

Well. The only difference that I can see here is that all of the singers are pretty (and red-haired), and that the songs are new. But why, oh why, do we continue to embarrass ourselves by thinking that someone in Europe would actually be interested in this crap? And why do we keep thinking that we have to do well in this stupid contest to be accepted? Well, now they at least have songs performed by a Norwegian, in English, written by a bunch of people none of have a Finnish name...

Who the fuck thinks of lyrics like "mouse in the misery - cheese in his memory"? WHAAAT!?! And they have one of the people from the Swedish Survivors performing, too! And someone, please kill the bloody hosts! "Du gick en pojkvän där? That was Swedish. Heheheheh." This is would be damn near intolerable, if I wasn't laughing my ass off...

Well, luckily there are few songs 16 year old Lagavulin and good company can't improve. ;-)

(OK, I'll have to give it to one performer: she can actually sing, pronounce English and look pretty at the same time. Something which seems to be very difficult for the rest of the performers.)

EFF reviews freedom-loving MacOS
high-def TV toy
01/05/2005 07:09 PM
Cory Doctorow: With only half a year left until the FCC criminalizes watching television without DRM (thanks to the loathsome Broadcast Flag), it's time to start stocking up on open hardware that can tune, record and manipulate digital TV signals without Hollywood's irrational, paranoid shackles.

If you've got a Mac, that means scoring one of El Gato's new EyeTV 500s, a device that can move digital TV shows form your rabbit ears or your cable wire to your Mac in glorious high-def, as plan-jane MPEGs that you can manipulate, share, rip, mix and burn till the cows come home.

My cow-orker Fred von Lohmann, EFF's Senior Intellectual Property Lawyer, is also a certified hi-fi nut, gearhead, and gadget freak. He scored a review-unit of the EyeTV 500 and wrote up a review of its freedom-enhancing capabilities.

As a demo of those capabilities, EFF is hosting a five minute high-def clip from Fellowship of the Rings (Torrent Link), which occupies a thunderous 500MB of hard-drive (!). The studios argued that the Broadcast Flag was necessary to keep viewers from sharing high-def movies over the Internet -- at 500MB per five minutes, that seems a little far-fetched.

The tiny silver lining here is that if you can get an open, freedom-loving digital television tuner between now and the summer, you'll be able to go on doing practically anything you like with the digital television you receive over the air and with your unencrypted cable signal. If you choose to do this by plugging a DTV tuner into your computer, you'll be able to archive your shows on your hard-drive, manipulate them with your favorite editing software, and email clips to your friends.
