As some of you may or not know (depending on how much you stalk me), I’m in a band. A long time ago, we were looking to record our first, serious EP. While I was already doing audio production to an extent, we decided to “let the professionals handle it,” thinking that they’d do a better job. We tried recording with several local producers, but the results were… less than splendid. So we ended up recording ourselves, with me handling production. Over time, I continued to notice mistakes that local producers kept making. Read on to see what they are. Continue reading →

I finally got around to finishing the redesign I started in August. Progress was slow indeed, what with me totally ignoring this place for a couple of months, but it’s finally finished. I’m really pleased with how it came out, I plan on keeping this design for a while. Continue reading →

It’s been like what, two months since I last posted here? I’m back now, and the design is much closer to being done than it was a couple of months back (more on that in a later post). 2011 was a pretty good year for me, got paid more for web design, started making money with audio recording, and released an EP with my band. This year, I’ll be pushing the audio recording business further as well as getting a driver’s license and touring with my band. I’ll probably post about all that as it happens. Not much else to say, as I haven’t blogged in a while so I almost forgot what it was like.

Seriously. Apple’s following its own trend of adding a speed bump to an existing design, so I don’t see why everybody was expecting an iPhone 5. All the hype about the iPhone 5 is just that— hype. The media caught onto the rumors and propagated them to the point of everybody expecting them to be truth, but in the end they were still just rumors, albeit ones that went a bit further than previous ones, with mockups and fake cases made. And come on people, having a wedge/tapered shape would only make the iPhone look like an uglier iPod Touch, so shut up about that already. Thanks.

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, passed away today at the age of 56. The tech world has indeed lost a great man, a visionary, a marketing genius, and a passionate CEO. Continue reading →

Edit: Apple’s officially announced the iPhone 4S, and most of my predictions are pretty much true.
With the Apple iPhone press conference tomorrow, the interwebs have been abuzz with rumors, fake pictures, supposed mockups, and downright fake “prototypes.” I know that I’m not strictly a tech blogger anymore, nor am I an iPhone user anymore, but my Apple fanboy interests still remain piqued. So without further ado, these are my predictions for what the iPhone will and won’t be. Continue reading →
