Seriously. Where did this near obsession with learning to remix songs come from? And why am I doing it all manually with free tools like Audacity? And Why do I keep remixing the same song over and over? I wish I had answers, but this is what happens when you leave [...]

It looks like Netflix has curtailed their need to add old TV shows this round, but that doesn’t mean they’ve upped their standards any. I counted eleven fishing/boating instructional videos and five teen after-school specials in this round, so if you’re into teens and seamen, this update was made for you. For the rest of [...]

So, the Rap Industry Standard Poll is officially closed, and the results are in. When given the choice between “Douche Daddy”, the smooth pimp rapper, or “MC Douchy McDouche”, the rapper hardened on the mean streets of suburbia, you decided that the straight brim of MC Douchy McDouche didn’t have enough pimp juice to take the [...]

Holy shit. First, the bloggers found me, then an internet radio station, then a regular radio station, then half of Sweden stopped by, and now I’ve somehow made the jump to internet television. I know. I’m as shocked as you are. I better go put on some pants… Share, Bookmark, or [...]

The Life of Riley is a weekly post that details my activities since I ended a thirteen year career as a corporate drone. These posts are usually long, personal, and geared more for my own memory than the reader’s entertainment. Sunday (Day 406): As Impaled As I Wanna Be I caught a mouse in the morning [...]

I’ve mentioned Brad Sucks before, and over the last few days, I’ve somehow gotten really interested in remixing stuff with free audio tools. I remixed a Brad Sucks track called “Making Me Nervous” and made a video for it just to prove to myself that I could do it with nothing but free tools. [...]

Crate Escape: You’re a tiny disco workman, and you’re only job is to use the left and right arrow keys to push crates off the edge of your platform before they crush you. You’d think that this would be the easiest game on the web, but the best that I could do was 20, and it [...]

The Hydrogen Advanced Drum Machine is a really great (and really free) drum sequencer that was made for Linux and ported to Windows. It’s easy to get used to and comes pre-loaded with a couple of drum kits (including the Roland TR-808 for all you b-boys and b-girls), but you’ll eventually want to add [...]

The Life of Riley is a weekly post that details my activities since I ended a thirteen year career as a corporate drone. These posts are usually long, personal, and geared more for my own memory than the reader’s entertainment. Sunday (Day 399): The Gonorrhea Mall I woke up with a headache that lasted all day [...]

It’s summertime, and all the surfers and hodads are once again sharing that sandy divide between land and sea. No matter which side of the divide you’re on, there’s nothing like some reverb soaked surf-strumentals to make that grey cubicle feel more like a day at the beach. You won’t find any Beach Boys, [...]
