This is fun: it’s a time-lapse movie of someone making a stop-motion animation of an origami crane, followed by various renderings of the animation:

Thanks go to Chris for pointing this out to me.

Apple just emailed me to tell me that the iPhone Development Center is now open. I thought it would be gracious of me to mention this here since I previously ranted about how Apple seems to be giving third-party developers the cold shoulder. No, I’m not about to get out of the audio plug-in business [...]

It’s snowing here this morning. This is the first snowfall of this season, which is a little late by my recollection. It seems like it usually snows by the end of September, although that’s been less dependable in recent years. So far it doesn’t look like it’s going to amount to much; it hasn’t accumulated [...]

I’m pleased to announce that there will not be any more Audio Damage product announcements with silly headlines, at least for the next several products. I’m more pleased to announce (belatedly) that we’ve released our third and final (for now) low-cost modulation effect plug-in. It’s called Vapor; it’s a diffusion chorus. A diffusion chorus is [...]

This is an unsolicited bit of praise for SparkFun Electronics, an online store that sells all sorts of cool stuff for electronics experimentation. They have a nice selection of microprocessor prototype boards including some from European companies like Olimex, some nifty LED arrays and LCDs with serial interfaces, robot parts, tools, etc. Their site also [...]

A tree down the street from our house always puts on a dazzling display of color this time of year:

[I've been meaning to post this for awhile but forgot several times.] Generally we don’t talk about our customers even though it would probably help our sales if we could name some of the Famous People who have purchased Audio Damage products. We consider their transactions with us to be private. Recently, though, we received [...]
