The Humane Interface

This is a bit of a read, but well worth the slog. If you are reading this, you are using Jef Raskin's inventions (he is the originator of the GUI interface).

A somewhat wellington-centric view of New Zealand jazz, but despite that, well worth a look!

Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus

Someone drew my attention to this - it seems worth sharing, regardless of your interests. It is a dictionary /thesaurus that comes with 'mindmaps' that you can explore. It only gives you three tries a visit until you buy their software, but even those three tries are Quite cool at times. Check it out!

Fruit on the fridge

Still just practicing html. A lot of people like this pic of fruit on top of the fridge in our kitchen.

Trip to the Moon

For lack of a more informative alternative, here is a link with a few snippets aboutTrip.
Plus some words about our most recent release - the album Pretty Cool.

Albino 2 magic

Just for completeness, seeing as I mention this bit of virtual kit in my bio blurb, herewith a review of the most excellent Albino2.

Antares Filter magic

I cannot praise this plug-in enough - it is absolutely amazing. Like a full-blown virtual analog synth with an outstandingly flexible modulation matrix - and no waveforms up front; just pipe in your mix....Antares Filter - The Professional's Choice
They give you a fully functional demo that runs for a limited period of time. It works as a marketing strategy - I certainly would not do without it when the trial period ran out; I just had to buy it.

Counting on you

This is pretty esoteric, but counting in PNG is fascinating, really...

Gettin' it togethah

I thought I'd better publish some goals, to make more clear what this blog might be about as time goes by. Major items in my to-do list for 2005 are:
* Release the new [4th] TRIP album.
* Shift the emphasis in a course I teach at the Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand (MAINZ) from GarageBand to Live4.
* Get some Web skills, rent some server space and build my own web site. (If for no other reason, to make it easier to link to clips of audio /music - I produce a constant stream of new music and would like to be able to easily refer to stuff that I'm working on by example).
That'll do for now - better not get too detailed, but let other potential projects come to light by and by.

Here I go again. By now I have managed to get some pictures up, using my old Windows PC. Today I've got on to Flickr using my iBook - now I just have to work out how that will help me blog pix from my Mac...

perhaps a little bit of code will do the trick?

All for now!!

First post

This is the beginning. I am new to this, hoping that the experience of starting off my own blog will deliver some learnings and insights.

So far I'm only just knocking around the sign-up pages.

When I get the hang of it all I'll begin posting some less self-centered material.
