Today would have been his 53rd birthday. But alas, there is no one on the other line when I tried to call him. And this will be the case every year for the rest of my days. But this is in no way a hindrance for me and everyone who loves him to celebrate his birthday, his life & his legacy.
Happy Birthday Tatay!
I finally had the chance to look into my Tascam US-122L’s issue with Leopard last night. It suddenly stopped working after I upgraded to Leopard due to the driver. Tascam has finally released a new version for Leopard and also a new firmware. While installing the driver was easy, getting the firmware updater is a bit of a challenge. I have to get it from the German site, as the english site’s file is corrupt. Oh well, in the end it is working again and I am a happy camper!
I cooked up a simple progression on Garageband and did a little bit of testing with Audicity as well. So far so good!
Thanks to this site for the link from AwkwardDog.com to the German site.
I am sure that most of us have seen the animated movie from Pixar, Cars. There is this little-known character that I have come to love. He’s name is Fred. Fred is the rusty-old truck that keeps dropping his bumper whenever he gets so excited. But what really gets me is what he is excited about. He was so excited when Lightning McQueen called his name without realizing that it was actually written right on his plate. He goes into hysteria while shouting, “He knows my name! Lightning McQueen knows my name”! Then the bumber falls. Then there was another incident when Mario Andretti said hello to him and he went hysterical again yelling, “He knows my name, Mario Andretti knows my name”! The bumber falls again. This is very very hilarious stuff but it also makes me wonder …
I wonder what would Fred do if I was there to tell him, “Fred, God knows your name”! Oh man, I can just see him falling apart with excitement! How about you, I wonder how excited will you be if tell you, “God knows your name”! Will you be as excited and hysterical as our rusty-old friend Fred?
Well, there’s only one way to find out. Here we go …
God knows your name!
Updated my gear page today. I will start calling it GP 1.0. Every time there is an update to it, I will start increasing the version. Minor edits will get a minor sub-version update and major ones (like adding something new, read: acquired something new) it will be a major version update. This way, I can keep track of my spending
