Loopoff

The new nerding flavor of my world is "Loopoff":

Loopoff is a Rails + audio HTML tag + git based audio loop management and archival system

It was written so I could spend less time managing audio files and more time making loops with my Boss RC-50 and RC-20 loop stations.

The app is very unstable at this point, I hope to release something stable-ish/useful for others by the end of the summer.

The git back-end instead of SQL is rocking my world, it stretches the brain in good ways.

Solid.

Magic Table Proof of Concept

A couple months ago, I did some visualization tinkering & proof of concept using a JavaScript visualization tool called Magic Table. I found magic table while browsing the Google Visualization API gallery it's pretty rad.

While working on this I corresponded a bunch with Greg Ross, the developer behind the tool, asking for feature enhancements etc, to which he promptly replied (and/or implemented). He put together this here fine website to explain more about the cool things you can do with it.

I love information dense stuff, magic table is a solid tool to convey a lot in a small amount of space, give it a shot.
