  • Daily Mix – 2022-09-22

    In addition to actual mix tapes, I like to set a minidisc to record and start a Roon Radio automated mix from a key track. I record over optical while working or doing something else. Sometimes they aren’t very interesting, but sometimes they go in unexpected directions. For more, see my list of all daily…

  • The Art of the Mix Tape

    This is not intended to be a comprehensive post, nor do I claim to be good at making a mix, or good at the technical aspects of recording one. I’m just hopeful this can be a kicking off point for more discussion and ideas. And if you are interested in sharing mix tapes feel free…

  • Adding Additional Bluetooth Codec Support to Moode 7.1

    Moode 7.1 includes Bluetooth support and can act both as a receiver for playback and a player to Bluetooth headphones or speakers. By default it supports the standard SBC codec, which essentially everything supports. This is fine as a minimum, but we want to add support for more advanced or high quality codecs, including AAC…

  • Adventures in Vinyl

    A couple of springs ago I got it in my head to buy a turntable. I put the blame on Iron & Wine, who was selling a deluxe 2 record version of Beast Epic on colored vinyl. I ordered it because it looked really neat (and came with a CD quality download), and then I…

  • Spring Hikes, and Riding Again

    I have not been very active over the last couple of years, and it’s taken its toll on my health. Last summer I found any excuse to not go out and walk, hike, or ride my bike. It was mostly a combination of “it’s hot” and “it’s windy”. But I live in Colorado, even when…

  • Simple Modern Skin for Free42 HP 42s Calculator Simulator

    Over the last few years I’ve taken to using RPN for general calculations instead of the more common algebraic notation. I have an HP 35s which is supposed to be at my desk at the office, but is currently at home. I’ve taken to using the truly excellent PCalc for iOS for general calculation where…

  • Off-roading in the Pike National Forest

    I have posted a larger gallery of the trip on ev-15.com I took my new Jeep Wrangler out last Saturday for my first real off-road driving experience. I drove west on US 285, over Kenosha Pass, and then south on Colorado Route 77 along Tarryall Creek towards Highway 24. I’ve taken this route a couple…
