[insert usual apology for lack of posting activity] It’s National Doughut Day! How to shoot a site’s credibility with just one entry.EDIT: see the comments. Chris’s wife is a tad jealous of his new acquisition, and so am I.

Make of this what you will.

As Chris announced today on his blog, Audio Damage is branching out. Specifically we’re starting to design and manufacture modules for the Euro-Rack modular synthesizer format. Our first product will be a 2-in/2-out USB1.1 class-compliant audio interface. It’s compatible with the iPad, so you can use it to conveniently add just about any iPad audio [...]

Seriously, Adobe, between updates to your Flash player (which frequently go awry and cause my system to hang) and updates to Acrobat Reader, you’re wasting a noticeable amount of my time. I think I’m going to dump Acrobat Reader and look for viable replacements. I know that they must be out there; Goodreader on the [...]

I’ve been distracted by work–both businesses have been very busy–and by the slowly unfolding and worsening news from Japan, and as a result haven’t found the inclination to post anything, I guess.

I’ve been trying to think of something to say in a post about the earthquake, and words have essentially failed me. What can be said about a natural disaster that has claimed at least 10,000 lives, particularly when it has happened in a country that feels to me as much like home–maybe more so–than my [...]

There’s an interesting, 10-minute video interview here with Morton Subotnick, one of the pioneering electronic-music composers. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit that I’ve never heard Silver Apples of the Moon in its entirety; after watching this video I may have to obtain a copy.

There’s a nice article and short video here on the Boston Globe’s site about the origami club at MIT, along with some general information about recent trends in origami.
