I need to start compiling a list of all of dietary additives which (within my relatively brief lifetime) were touted as being good to eat but turned out to be bad to eat. The latest is soy, which besides being the obvious base of things like soy milk and veggie burgers, is in 60% of [...]

Nice photo here of some loyal customer. We didn’t print many of those. Chris is working on a design for a new one, I think, but it kind of takes back seat to our other projects. We are a software company and not a clothing design house, after all.

I’m tentatively turning the commenting mechanism back on for this site. I’m trying a security plug-in that theoretically makes it much more difficult for comment spammers to exploit the site. If it turns out to not work, I’ll turn comments off again. We’ll all see how it goes, I suppose.

The July issue of Computer Music magazine has a free Audio Damage plug-in on its DVD-ROM, and the magazine itself has a three-page article on how to use it. Buying the magazine [...]

The bad news is that Synthesis Technology will stop selling kits by the end of the year, and is discontinuing several modules altogether. The official announcement is here. (It’s worth noting that Paul’s having a 15% off sale soon.) While this is obviously a bummer for those of us who buy module kits from Paul, [...]
