“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners I wish someone told me. All of us Who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple of years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only be going through a volume of work that you will close that gap. And your work will be as good as your ambitions and I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” - Ira Glass I wish I heard this when I first was starting out.
If you were here a couple of weeks ago you would have seen the grey themed design. There was a lot of things I liked about it but felt like why not use what I already have and take all the cool stuff I learned and incorporated into what you see now. Just a quick run down. Music player, Soulfrost Newsletter, Tour dates in sidebar, New shop/print area, New music area, added fancy css3 stuff, Disqus comment system and a lot various updated through out the site.
I know I am a bit late on this but hey happy new year. I wanted to at least post something while I wait on NYE media. 2011 started out with a bang. The gig at Opus went down good. People seem to enjoy it. When will there be some pictures/videos? Soon, I took a bunch of video with my phone and no one knows when the photos taken from that night will show up. Hopefully sooner than later. 2011 looks like it’ll shape up to be better than 2010!
I decided to give Minecraft a go. edit: I’m aware the R sucks..
One of my more popular posts is when the iPad was first announce I compared Lemur to the iPad. In the end I felt like Lemur would have to change somehow or face death and as I’m sure you have heard already the Lemur is discontinued. I’m not surprised mainly because of their price.
This one came to a surprise to me though. I heard rumours on the internet about it’s soon to be discontinued. I did buy turntables a long time ago, I ended up going with some digital/analog hybrid Numark one instead of 1200s. Don’t ask me why because I have no idea. I’ve moved far away from dealing with turntables but I thought the Technics 1200s would always be around. Not like I care though. I’m sure if there is enough of a demand for them and they’ll do a lame limited collector edition runs. After posting two posts on Lemur I thought it would be right to make a third ending it with the death of Lemur with a bonus of the death of 1200s!
So much for that nanoPAD. I had it sitting in the box for about a year now and thought I’ll try to use that XY pad on it but really I was just wasting time like I am right now doing this. USB plug in on the nanoPAD was loose so I decided to open it to attempted to fix which in the process everything inside basically falls apart. I guess there is a reason why it’s so cheap. Edit If anyone one want the Korg nanoPAD Ableton Live code for $50 off if you purchase, just either leave a comment or contact me. First come, first serve situation. |
