]]>I recently discovered del.icio.us, which is a great bookmarking tool. While playing around with that, I found some of the various toys that go along with it. The coolest one being Cocoalicious.
So, what’s the quickest way to add links to either del.icio.us or Cocoalicious? Well, there are bookmarklet’s: add to del.icio.us, add to Cocoalicious. Very nice, except I don’t like showing the “bookmark bar” in my browser window (it just feels cleaner without it there). Besides, why should I have to click a mouse button? I want to do this straight from the keyboard. Making matters more complicated, my default browser is Camino.
My solution: write an applescript! Unfortunately, Camino’s applescript support is not very hot. Fortunately, I am…and after much fooling around I present:
tell application "Camino" set myURL to «class curl» of window 1 set myTitle to name of window 1 end tell
tell application "Cocoalicious"
make new post with properties {description:myTitle, url:myURL, tag string:"caminolicious"}
end tell
This script takes the webpage of front most window (or tab) from Camino, and inserts that page as a new post in Cocoalicious.
I saved this script in my ~/Library/Scripts folder, added it to my Quicksilver catalogue, and a gave it a trigger “⌥↑⌘D”. Now it’s as easy as touching the keyboard, and I’ve added a new bookmark.

So, for those not in the know, I’ve been patiently waiting since about October for this guy, Jonny Kendziera, to build a frame for my dream bike. Well, he’s finally done.
Jonny’s got two sets of photos up on his site, one that tracks the progress, and one that shows off the complete frame.
The other thing is, with my new job I can buy bike parts for this new old girl at wholesale prices.

]]> Once we had solid drum tracks, we spent the next few weeks recording guitar and bass parts here in my apartment with my DI, as well as the synth parts and background vocals. There’s a part towards the end of the tune where we each took turns reciting poetry by Blake or (in my case) repeating this sentence over and over. When I was finally able to find more studio time, Max and I went back into the studio to record the lead vocals with the singer, Bob. We used Berklee’s pearlman through Max’s V72 with just a little bit of compression.Finally, on Thursday morning at 3am, Max and I went back into the studio to reamp the guitar parts through my friend Richard’s amplifier, and then had everything mixed by 6am. For future reference, 3 to 6 in the morning is not the best time to mix, still…there’s no doubt we brought out the rock.

The neat thing about Jay’s website, is that it’s the first site to use my gigs database. The neat thing about the neat thing about Jay’s website, is that it has an RSS feed, which lets people in the know subscribe to or syndicate Jay’s upcoming gigs feed. For example, here’s Jay’s upcoming gigs:

So, a day or two later I downloaded this great computer version to try and teach myself (although, I’d really much rather be playing with real people), and now I’m totally addicted. Laurel is too! So, if anyone’s up for cards, download the demo and hit me up. Laurel and I will crush all challengers!

This is Charles Lloyd, not to be confused with this guy. I’ll be working with Charles this semester for my 320 project. I’m pretty excited about the song I’ll be producing, here’s the demo:
