Halloween Dubstep Mix 2009

Edmond — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:55:46 +0000

I did a pre-Halloween dubstep special on my radio show this week. I have prepared a trimmed down mix, without the backsells, PSAs and station IDs. Instead of a rambling 2 hour program, I have condensed things to about 40 minutes. Hope you enjoy it. Tracklisting after the jump. stream: Download audio file (halloween_mix_2009.mp3) download: halloween_mix_2009.mp3 (54.15MB) Tracklisting: The [...]

Google Reader Beautification: Helvetireader

Edmond — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:17:31 +0000

So crisp and clean! I have been a Google Reader for a good while now and I think it is a very fine web application. It does what I expect it to do and it does it well. It is utilitarian. It is useful. I use it daily. But now, I find it even more enjoyable to [...]

Found it!

I love when I find something that I forgot that I was looking for… I used to search for this song at every record store I visited from around 1996–2000. It was not a new song at the time, but I really wanted it on 7-inch. Amoeba Records in San Francisco had a corner filled with [...]

AA meltdown

Let this be a lesson to you. Do not store electronics with the battery inside. My minidisc recorder had a battery leak and now it is broken. If you plan on storing something for a while, remove the battery before placing in storage. RTFM, my friends. RTFM. And, also, follow your own advice.

PNG-8 with alpha transparency

Edmond — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:04:17 +0000

I learned a new web trick today. Apparently, Photoshop's inability to save PNG-8 with alpha transparency is not a limitation of PNG-8 but a limitation in Photoshop. For years, I have been operating under the assumption that I need to use PNG-24 to achieve transparency effects in my web projects. This is usually a compromise in terms [...]

Internet Explorer image resizing tip

Edmond — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:11:49 +0000

Who knew? Though it's not best practice to resize images in the browser this could really be useful in the right situation: img { -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; } This little snippet will vastly improve the image resizing abilities of ie — bringing it closer to the resized image quality experienced with Firefox or Safari. example [seen at devthought via css-tricks]

TivoSlimserverClient support forum

Edmond — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 05:54:53 +0000

Even though it has been a very, very long time since I updated TivoSlimserverClient it seems that there are people who are still discovering it and using it. Though I am usually happy to respond to email or blog comment questions, I think it may be more beneficial to all users to bring the discussion into [...]

dj mumbler on-the-air

Starting this Sunday, I will be hosting a radio show on KANM — "the college station of College Station." It is an AM station, as well as cable FM on Suddenlink Communications. There is a stream available at http://kanm.tamu.edu, which seems like the most normal way to access the show (what is cable FM?). The show [...]

Kings of Leon?

Here's another band who I successfully ignored for a long time. Now I can't get this song out of my head… Kings Of Leon — New Music — More Music Videos
