I’d Hit it

If you've lurked on any image boards in the past you may have come across the "I'd hit it" or "I'd hit it... with a brick!" image macros. I have seen countless ones myself, however none have made me literally LOL like this one. I don't know the author, but enjoy:

I'd Hit It!

Simple Chord Arpeggiation

Some waveform

I think Celemony has just changed digital audio manipulation forever. Watch this video, its so awesome! They've created what they call "Direct Note Access", which i call arpeggiation, or breaking a chord down to its individual notes. This may seem simple but was never possible before! We've always wanted it, but to my knowledge nobody had yet done it (or at least not in a consumer product with a simple GUI to boot!).

Mourning the last of the Big 3

Sir Arthur C. Clarke

Today we lost the last of the great 3 masters of science fiction. Arthur C. Clarke passed away at 1:30am local time in Sri Lanka, where he'd lived for over 50 years, of breathing complications. He was 90 years old.

Pay your respects to this science fiction (and science fact) legend by re-reading your favorite novel of his. If you've never read him, do yourself a favor and try any of his extensive bibliography.

There is a good semi-obit at BBC News, and you can learn more about this amazing man at his wikipedia article.

With the loss of the great Gary Gygax just two short weeks ago, this is truly a sad month for us geeks.

Godspeed you, Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
