I miss a day of blogging, and ****BOOM**** alla sudden I got a new website! Do me a favor? Kick the tires, and let me know if you see any mistakes?...any gitches....anything that doesn't look right? My developer Brett Bumeter of Softduit Media is the man behind all these changes...and we're still...
My daily handling of email begins when I get up around noon. I'll typically receive anywhere from 300-500 per day, and I configure Gmail to do a lot of the work for me with filters and automation. What's left is worthy of consideration...and you'd be surprised how much of it is come-ons from the...
People read my blog who I don't even know. Usually it's a good thing. Take David G Beneke for instance; an audiobook narrator, and a geek like me when it comes to audio hardware (only his expertise vastly supersedes mine). Beneke sent me an email a few days ago saying he just found a really...
Forget all you thought you knew about time-saving techniques. Scheduling, to-do lists, goal setting, business plans, better keyboards...WHATEVER! None of it compares to an SSD. Solid State Drive or Solid State Disc replaces the hard drive on your computer. For over a decade, hard drives meant...

Sometimes change happens in an instant. September 11, 2001. Mostly though, the big cultural changes happen right under our noses, silently, imperceptibly...over time. The glacial pace of some change just doesn't register on our consciousness unless one takes the time to look for the trends. ...
Some time last week, I passed the 3,000 mark. 3,000 unique blog articles since October of 2007. Since I'm preparing an all-new website/blogsite, my developer has been bugging me to cut the fat. All that content is slowing down the site, taking up space, and belies a deep personality flaw: I'm a...
Back before the internet, a wily entrepreneur by the name of Matthew Lesko published a popular book called "INFORMATION USA". The book as about as thick as the US Census, and Lesko promoted himself by dressing up and dancing around in a red suit with orange question marks printed all over it. He...
To me, recording and editing with ProTools is like using an F-16 to cross the road. Oh, you'll get there, but it'll cost you in money and time to learn all the gee-gaws. To others, using Adobe Audition harkens back to radio, and ALL the voice-0verists I know never want to admit they were ever a...
