I'm afraid that absinthe will have to be so last year since this year
there is Moog Filtered Ale. What synthesist could resist it?

Personally, I'm of the exact opposite mind
regarding Flash.  In most cases, if one of my
computers (both Windoze & Mac) crashes, chances
are extremely high that once I go through the
forensics I'll see that it was Flash which caused
it, regardless of the OS.

While I'm not too crazy about any company forcing
the market through a technology ban, I'll be
*extremely* pleased should that poorly-coded POS
application evaporate from the market and be
replaced by HTML5 or almost anything else that
actually functions.  Good riddance, I say....  :P

But I'll agree regarding Blu-ray: just kinda stoopid.

It seems that even Apple can make mistakes.  Support of a standard form
of media that holds more data and provides higher resolution
entertainment would seem to be a no-brainer for Apple.  Isn't Blu-ray
supposed to be better than DVD?  If the marketing is right, shouldn't it
ultimately replace the DVD?  I would think that Apple would hop onto
that bandwagon.  Have Apple given any reasons why they're anti-Blu-ray?

A universal iTunes HD Movie service in the cloud will ultimately replace any
kind of physical disc. At least, I suspect that's the opinion the reality
distortion field would amplify.

Blaming Flash for crashes is kind of like blaming Intel for blue screens.
My point here being Flash Player is a powerful runtime and it is possible to
write bad code for it that causes problems.  Also, the Player runs under
different browsers which are not consistent in invoking the NPAPI.  The
browsers are different from each other and change from release to release
and do crash the player.  Flash Player version 10.1 has much better
detection of out of memory conditions and new fixes for browser problems
that will reduce the number of crashes you see.

I¹d go further and say HTML5 will be similarly likely to crash, if ever
developers are able to write applications at the level of sophistication of
those commonly deployed using Flash.  HTML5 will suffer from cross-browser
inconsistencies like we see today, but in spades.  HTML5 applications will
look and run differently under different browsers and we¹ll see browser and
machine crashes.   Recall also that Google and others are introducing APIs
for invoking native code.  There will be more cross-platform inconsistency
and opportunities to crash.

All I know is that anytime I watch a YouTube video under Firefox on Linux,

I think that Blu-Ray's ability to execute arbitrary code "to patch an
otherwise insecure system" may have something to do with it as well. (See
the "BD+" section in the Wikipedia Blu-Ray article.) Given the stupidity
with which media companies are willing to proceed (remember the Sony
rootkits?), I can't blame Apple at all. I wouldn't want it either.

I've been itching to do something like this for a while. The score's
available at under Creative Commons Sharealike.
http://imslp.org/wiki/File:TerryRiley-InC.pdf

I'm sure everyone's at least heard of it, but may not have played it.
The score is one page of "fragments" - short motifs of a few notes.
All the players start at fragment 1, play it as many times as they
feel like, and then move on to the next fragment. The fragments aren't
all full measures, so the players slowly go out of phase. One player
provides a constant eighth-note "pulse" on C. A very meditative
experience.

I'd like to expand it though, and break up the perforrmers into
subgroups. Rather than just have everyone do the standard thing I'd
like to add a rhythm section, which is folks who'd prefer to play
drums, etc. and enhance the pulse, and some soloists; the conductor
will signal for everyone to continue repeating the fragment they're
currently doing so the soloist can have a consistent harmonic
background to work with, and some "effectors", who add in whatever
samples, noises, or whatever that seems right.

Anyone else interested?

you'll have to wait for i-pad 2.0.

Yo, DS'ers!

Richard Mechling (Eastward_in_Eden on MySpace) sent me this.
It is a luscious but spare piece that sets a microtonal
Japanese scale to Hi Res pictures of Mars. I recommend it.
Look for the dust devil trails on the dunes  about 2/3rds

I'd like get the ability to play Blu-ray on a Mac first. Currently I can MAKE a
Blu-ray disc on a Mac but I can't check if the disc works properly (and with all
the bugs in Adobe Encore, it usually doesn't!)

Well...that's assuming all media production is aimed at the consumer market.
Business-to-business communication, for example, has much smaller audience and
different delivery methods.

My sense is that Blu-Ray is a pretty buggy format. I've noticed a lot more
navigation issues with Blu-Ray discs than DVD's.

Discs will go bye-bye pretty soon anyways as SSD's get cheaper and smaller
form-factor, and OTA media distribution expands.
I think Apple is ultimately banking on wireless media distribution more and
more.

I'm thinking fewer repeats, and possibly "segmenting" the piece - on cue,
everyone, finishes their current fragment and jumps forward to the next
segment. The score as it's given is very flexible; we could drop fragments,
pretty much anything.
