I always thought it was incredibly ironic that an industry that's responsible for creating the virtual world would require all those working to create it to live in the same physical neighborhood.


Nails it.


Live mics. Live guitars, bass & drums. One take. Play loud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iaINsgFHVs&spfreload=10


Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXzFCS72QIA intro piano glitch. 4 guys in a small room, 4 track recorder, no edit.


Nice!


Neil Young talks a lot about how important it was to capture early takes. The newness of the music seems to give it a different character. A lot of his recordings have a fair amount of mistakes. Young calls it "rust". Tonight's the Night is a good example of this.

Miles Davis also had the philosophy that first takes produced the most ingenuity in improvisation.


I love all the Beatles songs where you can hear the guitar amps causing the bass drum to rattle a bit. Reminds me of when I played in bands.

More recently, Greg Graffin's folk album "Cold as the Clay" was very deliberately recorded with everyone in one room. It sounds good.


Off topic but thank you for informing me that Greg Graffin made a folk album. Had no idea even though it's apparently not new at all. Just goes to show that for all the access I have to music these days it's still easy to miss something due to just not hearing about it.


Kronikl is a project we've been working on for the past year. It's deigned as a personal Facebook; a private experience where you can save and preserve the things that are important to you and build an archive of your storyline. You can share posts with friends from your Line, you can build a Line together with your friends or you can keep all of your content to yourself. Our video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_gTUVF1kNI. You can see the project at https://www.kronikl.me. Feel free to offer any feedback.


Very cool. Looking forward to trying it.


Not looking for trouble here but writing an iPhone app should be no more difficult than creating a Keynote presentation, imho. If Apple is the leader in document development (Keynote, etc), why can't they do the same with writing apps. Look at what they've done with the complexities of video editing. Where is the consumer grade development app for iPhone?


Or, as designed by academia and force-fed into the business structure, the PMBOK. http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Project-Management-Body-Knowledg...


Which is very unfortunate because Railo is a great product and, in several ways, superior to the Adobe engine. You're right about the branding aspect.


CFML has great frameworks as well. One of many ... https://github.com/seancorfield/fw1/wiki


Typical posts against CFML. "It's old." Well then so is Java, PHP, you name it. Actually, of all of those languages, CFML has the latest iteration (which is the most important stat). Railo and Adobe both have new updates ariving soon. Hey, how bout that JSTL huh? Morbid since the late 90's.
