64 bit Music Authoring
For those of us trying to keep on top of the latest computing trends as well as produce music from our homes, it seems that 64-bit computing would be the next logical step. Afterall, 64-bit operating systems process data more efficiently, allowing for a smoother computing experience. And biggest of all, it allows for more […]
Pimp-My-Toilet
Unnecessary beyond a doubt, and extremely awesome beyond a doubt. Who doesn’t need their own laptop, Xbox 360, mini-fridge, iPod dock, LCD TV, and Beer Tap in their John? Huh? I wonder if there’s a bidet built in?

New Scientist compiled a list of 5 auditory […]
100 Greatest Guitar Songs

Happy Together - The Turtles
Just wrote out this arrangement of the classic tune “Happy Together” by the Turtles. It’s also about 1 full step lower than the original recording. This arrangement I did has you playing the melody and the accompaniment on the guitar at the same time (which is why it’s in a different key). This is all […]

Best PB&J Jar Design Ever
Decidedly not gaming or music related, but… I can’t believe no one has ever thought of this before. No more pesky peanut butter eluding you at the bottom of the jar. Dual lids! Genius!
