I’ve been looking for a new theme for this site for a while. And I’m honestly too lazy to make my own from scratch, so I found this one. Modified it a bit to suit my needs, and voila. Here we are.
I’ve added back in the “Music” section, which isn’t complete yet, but it’s almost [...]

iTunes Genius Mixes

As big of a music fan as I am, I’m horrible at using the “features” of iTunes.
I use it to rip music, and store it. Between Christine and I, we’ve got just over 80 gigs of music, which is all digital now. (I’m sure there’s plenty more CDs I opted not to rip, when I [...]
Thank You Harmonix

I’ve been waiting for the day that Harmonix would realize that releasing a Dream Theater song for Rock Band is a good idea. That day came yesterday, via downloadable content (not to mention that there’ll be a Dream Theater song on the disc for Rock Band 2, according to the website.)

I feel I’ve come a long way in life, and I’m pretty proud of what I’ve accomplished in it. I’m not sure many people on the cusp of turning 30 (next year), can say the same.

So I splayed out all the CDs we own on my desk, and have been dropping them in my CD burner, as I’ve sat at my desk watching movies on my computer.
I learned a valuable lesson: Windows Media Player rips music much easier than iTunes.
With iTunes, you have to drop the CD in, wait for [...]

Finally! It certainly helped having the conversion application running on the better computer. Now that all the music’s in one directory, it’s easy to see how many duplicates of some tracks we had.
I whittled it down from roughly 18 thousand songs to just over 10. Talk about a lot of doubles?
Now [...]
Still Converting Music

I think the problem is that I was using the “old” PC to do the converting, and not my new workhorse machine.
I installed the conversion software on my better computer, and things are speeding up much faster. A song on the new computer takes roughly 15 seconds to convert, versus a minute and a [...]
