I’m pleased to announce that we just released Audio Damage’s latest product, Dr. Device. Dr. Device features a new multi-mode filter with a gorgeous-sounding (if I may say so myself) four-pole low-pass mode, a stereo delay based on our highly successful delay algorithm used in Ronin and DubStation, and an exotic multi-node XYZ pad controller [...]

I’m not making this up. There’s a plant native to Brazil that is destroying other plants and animals in Texas and other southern states, and is starting to make its way up the Colorado river. There’s an article here at nytimes.com about it.

For some forgotten reason Tracie and I started talking about Pee-Chees the other day. If you don’t know what a Pee-Chee is, either you’re not old enough or you grew up in the eastern half of the US. (While I was googling about Pee-Chees I learned that they seem to be largely a western phenomenon.) [...]

Yes, you read that correctly. There are photos here of rice paddies bearing huge designs made with different kinds of rice plants.

My site has been hacked. I’m fixing things up, so if stuff moves around unexpectedly while you’re here, I apologize. Try back in a few hours if necessary.

The TrackMania games, unlike other contemporary racing games like the Grand Turismo series, focus more on a sense of fun rather than a [...]

I’m feeling peevish about Apple this week because I’m spending all of my working hours on the AudioUnit version of Audio Damage’s latest product, which is to say I’m spending all of my working hours on something that I wouldn’t have to do if Apple hadn’t decided to Think Different and invent a whole new [...]

Besides being a pretty neat video, the thing that caught my eye is the convenience store. I’m pretty sure that I visited a store from the same chain while in Takayama, looking for beverages and stuff. Yes, convenience stores in Japan look pretty much like convenience stores in the U.S., but the ready-to-go food is [...]

If you happened to visit this site between sometime in the afternoon on Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th, you may have encountered a server error. Things should be back to normal now. My hosting service, Lunar Pages, moved this site from the server it has lived on for several years to a new [...]
