Small Planets Expo

Aaaand... we're back.  Josie & Ben now live in the  same state (OF ANARCHY... BWAAAA) and so they can write and record music a)  more frequently (more songs) and b) more slowly (better songs).  We also have better equipment.  Here's a breakdown of what we used before:

a) An old computer
b) A cheap computer pencil microphone (you know.. 8 bucks at Best Buy).
c) A small, busted acoustic guitar

NOW, we have:

a) A laptop
b) A still cheap but better Shure SM58 microphone and USB mixer
c) A small, busted acoustic guitar
d) A banjo
e) A ukulele
f) An electric harmonium
g) Ableton

Pretty exciting.  Also we have recorded an EP to go along with Josie's excellent comic "In Which I Think About Drowning".  We sold (gave it away) it at this year's Small Press Expo and we also have it available to download in the songs section.  And also this site will maybe be looking slightly better soonishly.  Stay tuned!

    Local weavers and producers resisted the introduction of the Piedmontese methods. But protectionist legislation guaranteed the industry’ s success anyway by providing a privileged access to the national and Brazilian markets. In 1794, 1732 workers were operating the region’ s looms. But the lack of competition meant that counterfeit fabric and ...

    So he sets me up with a puke pan and I’ m sitting in a chair and then it happens. I’ m about 30 seconds away from shitting my pants. I run as fast as my drunken ass can to the bathroom, with the puke pan of course. I proceeded to ...

    The general concept of being able to infer feature information on dumb models has been around for a while. Trispectives (now IronCAD) was one of the first to do this, at a basic level, in 1995 or so. More recently, Kubotek, CoCreate and SpaceClaim have taken the concept (and technology) further, ...

    Two things that really surprised me: the power consumption of these old machines are actually pretty low. Also, that a powered down machine actually consumes 26W in standby power. One lesson I will remember is to pull the power cord on machines powered down. An easy way to be more environmentally ...
