Gnaw Mean

Heyo,

check out the stats:

Now all those numbers don’t mean actual people, it’s almost impossible to know that (unless you are Google, but instead the requests for files from my server, which is much easier to calculate. In any case, the numbers are way up, which means a large amount of my intellectual property is floating out there (Konichiwa China!) in the noosphere.This is great.

“Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever-which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes.”

How many sweet notes get lost in our brains, do you think, trapped in there for entire lives? What about all those sweet notes trapped on scratched CDs and unreadable hard drives?! What about the children?!!

Soooooooooooooooo, what next? Well, the pandakarian nation is firmly entrenched in the newfound fervor around the internet, more as a platform for expression than a method for viewing acquaintances’ pictures (though it has a place for that too, as well as for news and political economics). This quote nicely describes what thoughtful web design can be:

Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.

Alright, I like it.

Music is music, that’s not going to change, but the music business is different, mostly because of the internet. This was inevitable; contrary to what some assholes might say, the system was severely flawed. Now, you got your recommendation services, your music blogs, your harmful mp3s. You got You Tube where guitar shredders get millions of views, which might explain the success of Guitar Hero, injuries be damned. Finally, you got the next generation stuff, the this-isn’t-a-pushed-to-the-limits-piece-of-software-called-a-web-browser but a-globally-accessible-music-production-and-plugin-suite.

So we hope to be a part of all this. Check back for updates, or subscribe, that might be easier. A bien tot.
