Thanks for your interest - it's been a lifelong pursuit. There was an old upright piano in the house while I was growing up that I always gravitated to. Had about 10 years of piano lessons as an adolescent; had a love/hate relatio

Of all the services I've had to interact with to get this album out digitally, Bandcamp was easily the most streamlined and easy to use. Definitely recommend them to anyone as a first-stop in getting music distributed.

Thanks! This description is hilarious - I may have to blurb it for promotional material (if you don't mind)!

Thanks. I really struggled with mixing the guitar and so many layers of synth. At this point it is what it is but I am definitely iterating on my process for the next album.

Hey thanks! I would love if you could say a little more here - what exactly do you mean by making the guitars less detached in the highs? Currently iterating my creative process for the next album and one of my main areas of focus is creati

I have been so pleasantly surprised at what a great adaptation the TV series has been so far.

I think you've touched on one big source of this problem, which is that many of these icons have been trademarked and saddled with all manner of usage restrictions and licenses. As an entrepreneur or designer, am I going to waste who k

I recently had this exact problem. THE FIX: Log in to your Apple support profile, go to the devices section, then unregister all the iOS devices associated with your account.

Good! A person operating a moving vehicle should have 100% of their attention focused on the road. I have yet to see an argument to the contrary that doesn't attempt to rationalize unsafe behavior. Any device that actively creates dist

John Mayer speaking at Berklee College of Music had this to say on the subject: > “The tweets are getting shorter, but the songs are still 4 minutes long. You’re coming up with 140-character zingers, and the song is still 4 minutes long…

I propose that one factor exacerbating the negative feelings around this particular product launch is that Google has failed to create a good customer experience during purchase (particularly order confirmation). People don't like to wait[1

For someone who's not familiar with the app, I have to do a lot of decoding of your home page to figure out what exactly the product is and why I should be interested. Your /tour "Features" page explains it much better: "TEAM INBOX & CH

We used Lockitron at the Cloudkick office. Super convenient, as it let anyone at the office buzz a guest/delivery through our outer door without leaving their desk. Also awesome: the ability to give visitors temporary access without having

Thank you for posting this; many of the original comments from this thread have been deleted, including the one Linus was responding to. So, while I support the source's position, his post is misrepresenting the context of Linus' comment.

So much is dependent on the app. It's hard to discuss the iPad without tacitly including the entire associated software ecosystem (without really being conscious of the scope of that oversight). I agree with your main point, and I have no d

As a visual designer, I have to disagree. Trying to work on an iPad is a complete waste of time. Sketching/prototyping by hand is orders of magnitude faster than on an iPad, and it wouldn't even be worth it to try to produce anything resemb

Initially, I also thought the spiders were a bit too "human"... however, in thinking about the way Vinge portrays them, it was important for me to realize there's a point later in the story where he reveals that the focused translators are

No worries :) Saw this on Reddit yesterday and spent an hour looking through the rest of the posts on the blog; some interesting graphic work curated there.
