I spent most of the weekend writing some software to get my Mac's speech synthesis to sing in the tune I played on my MIDI keyboard, then found that I didn't have much time left to write something. Jeff MacDougall (http://jeffmacdougall.com) had recently purchased FourTrack for his iPhone and used it to record a song about FourTrack while waiting in a traffic jam, so I followed his example and wrote a quick song to exploit my new toy.
