I wasn’t sure if I was going to blog this story or not. Wired is running a story called “The Incredible Shrinking Studio” that is basically about the Apple Powerbook being used to replace hardware synthesizers and recording studios. I know at least one person who’d find this interesting to see in “print”. However what really pushed me to blog this story was a tid-bit in the closing lines on the second page. “Sorcerer Sound in New York, where Norah Johnes recorded her Grammy-winning album, recently closed and auctioned off its recording equipment.” That was a really nice tie-in for the article.

I saw mentioned on Lambda the Ultimate a paper by Dave Thomas (not the Wendy’s guy I’m guessing. Eric Meijer had high praise for Dave and this paper. I read it in just a few minutes and also enjoyed it. The crux of the matter is that programming is hard, getting harder, and doesn’t need to be. I’m reminded of a Joel on Software article on the same subject. Basically, I agree. Complexity is the word of the day.

I received a review of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” by email today. It’s a well written review. So much, that I considered posting the text of the review here. Instead I did some googling and found the original post of it on the web. Keith A Fournier wrote

I’m sad I feel I need this disclaimer though. I’m not Catholic. There are a lot of things about Catholicism I don’t like. If you feel the same way, just put all that aside and enjoy the review of this movie.
