In-Place Windows 7 RC downgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium
a few months ago, i posted a link to a hack that revealed how to do an in-place "upgrade" (although it's really a downgrade) from Windows 7 RC-1 to a lesser version of Windows 7. as the nag alerts saying i need to backup my stuff and reinstall have… [more]
you’ll have to wait for the book [rpm2010]
it occurs to me that rpm came and went with very little said on this blog about it.
i finished my rpm 2010 album. it's called you'll have to wait for the book. you can listen to it here, on bandcamp, or on alonetone, where my track 1 is currently… [more]
Twitter kills bulk and automated unfollows…and we’re disappointed why?
yesterday, SocialToo announced they were discontinuing the auto-unfollow feature associated with the services they offered. this more or less confirms my own suspicions when i went to clean out the people @ArcanePalette was following a few days ago… [more]
I have a hard time looking at this Blogger template (or the title anyway) and not singing “with a little bit of luck, we can make it through the night” to myself. While old UK Garage dance club anthems aren’t exactly the subject of this Blogger template, it’s not that far off, either.
Far from being [...]

i know it’s several years old now, but i’m thinking about finally doing a full-on year zero remix album…unfortunately, my remix of “the beginning of the end” was done in garageband and i didn’t save (or i can’t find) an original lossless version, which means the only surviving version of it is a single ogg file somewhere, so i suppose i’ll have to do a *different* remix of that. oh well…
When I was a kid in kindergarten, my dad had a few friends he would regularly hang out and drink beers (and do shots) with. Most of these excursions were distinctly not for kids, and I would be dropped off at my grandparents’ house for the night. On these occasions, I would hope that, at [...]
This month’s calendar wallpaper (and non-calendar companion) has a mysterious, vintage feel. Dark shapes and strange symbols and half-forgotten memories drift across the periphery of your awareness and you’re not sure if those strangely familiar shapes are ominous or welcoming.
This wallpaper comes in all the usual sizes, with and without calendar, as well as an [...]
sure it’s cool that photoshop has been around 20 years and that most of the tools have been around from the beginning, but all i’ve got to say is: imagine having to do design on that screen. i think i’d claw my eyes out.
taking the book in a new direction. rather than being a straight confessional (and probably a fairly boring read), now that the details and facts and whatnot are laid out, i’m going to make it into a (hopefully) more entertaining, snarky, faster read. the exact phrase we’ve been talking about is making it into “a [...]
this was a big deal on twitter a couple weeks back and i never had time to check it out. you can watch the full film (it’s 35 minutes) on hulu, and i recommend it. it’s a great look at the emerging economy of new startups that are coming out of people who’ve been laid off and used that as an excuse to do the thing they love and make a business out of it (or, in a few cases, just do the thing they love and figure everything else out as they go along).
a few months ago, i posted a link to a hack that revealed how to do an in-place “upgrade” (although it’s really a downgrade) from Windows 7 RC-1 to a lesser version of Windows 7. as the nag alerts saying i need to backup my stuff and reinstall have started cropping up, i decided to [...]
i’m still somewhat undecided on the cover. i sort of go back and forth between liking it and thinking it’s too abstract or hard to recognize (and then i go back and forth about whether or not i care about recognizability). i was playing with the levels and came up with an alternate. don’t really [...]
sam rosenthal, of projekt records, is back on his piracy soapbox again. he is asking each and every one of you to do your part to help stop piracy. he breaks the world down into two camps: camp a says: “Music should be free, fuck you for thinking I should pay for your music.” camp a is [...]
as today is yesterday was valentine’s day, and also, coincidentally for some, the traditional day of rest and reaffirming their faith in their chosen higher deity, i thought it would be appropriate to take a minute to ponder the origin of the holiday. partially, this was influenced by @KarinaAllrich’s tweet earlier today that “Valentine’s Day [...]
