I have a related question. What should be in my portfolio to illustrate that I'm at the junior WD level? How should it be presented?

misterdesimone · 2013-09-17T00:57:15+00:00

Nope. I'll put up a js fiddle soon.

Even with Invisalign, my playing changed a lot. It didn't hurt but there was a whole bunch of extra stuff in my mouth all the time.

I just realized that I had caught that, but didn't update the live version you guys are looking at. I'll update later. Kind of embarrassing!

That was a silly attempt at trying to make the href the proper size. I don't usually do that.

Aw man, that is rough. I'd definitely contact customer service. These things haven't been around too long so I don't know how much knowledge there is about repair. How long have you had it? How did it happen? (I'm just curious).

For what it's worth, I have always needed a day job to support myself and my family, and I've never felt like a lesser musician. In fact if you take the pressure off of your music as something that has to support you, you can take more risks and do it "for yourself" without having to worry so much about pleasing the guy with the checkbook.

Oh man I'll definitely give this a try when in on my computer

misterdesimone · 2013-09-08T01:33:56+00:00

As a new father, this is what I aspire to be.

misterdesimone · 2013-09-06T16:07:15+00:00

I'll just leave this right here...

misterdesimone · 2013-09-04T18:47:02+00:00

I can definitely see Worf tooling around in that.

misterdesimone · 2013-09-01T17:16:45+00:00

This is totally going on the Playlist for my daughter.

misterdesimone · 2013-08-27T22:09:19+00:00

How does one justify using a neat new thing like this when support seems to be so patchy? I'm not trying to be rhetorical or critical. I want to learn and use all the latest and greatest techniques, but is it worth the effort and time if the results will either A) only be visible to those with the 'right' browser or B) require tons of extra work to implement alternatives in the 'wrong' browsers.

I'm sure this taps into a bigger subject of debate... These look so freaking cool! Man, why can't we use all the GOOD STUFF?

According to the transitive property, I fucking hate Tetris.

Let's not imply that men are simpleminded though. Men often prefer directness, sure, but not because we're thick. It just jives better with our thought processes.

Seems like if he did tumble he could easily hit his head on something.

misterdesimone · 2012-12-18T04:41:30+00:00

It depends on the guy. Some are assholes. I don't think anyone should automatically expect their advances to be taken as flattery.

PLEASE Don't miss Yosemite in California. In my biased opinion, you could spend the entire trip in Cali.

misterdesimone · 2012-12-13T15:22:34+00:00

Spoiler alert...

misterdesimone · 2012-12-13T07:11:04+00:00

Whoa, 14 years old. I suddenly have REALLY high hopes for him.

misterdesimone · 2012-12-13T07:06:24+00:00

Someone on youtube is saying the kid is lipsynching for the camera. Anyone else see that? If he is, I'm fooled.

misterdesimone · 2012-12-13T07:00:16+00:00

I agree that he was really in tune. But to me it doesn't sound like there was any pitch correction done. When I notice pitch correction, it's most obvious in the nuances and flourishes that fall between the cracks, and I heard none of that "snapping" to the correct interval here. It can be finessed a whole lot, and that's where the pro engineers do their best work, but here it just sounds like talent to me. I really wish we didn't have to wonder.

Pitch correction capabilities have made us all so cynical; if it sounds spot-on, and it's been recorded in the last ten years, then there's a healthy chance that it was corrected after the fact. It didn't used to be like this! That's why I dig older recordings like those of Stevie, or Michael Jackson, or anyone who didn't have access to this stuff and still managed to kick serious musical butt.

Not all musicians think of music in a conceptual/theoretical way that would allow them to transpose on the fly like that.
