Twitter Tools Test Post

By dan on 06 February 2010 under starschreck

Update: Starschreck is now using Twitter Tools. Blog posts are now automatically posted to Twitter. Now that’s what I call web synergy.

Starschreck V2

By dan on 28 September 2009 under starschreck

Starschreck V2 is based off of the Elevate theme offered by Design to Wordpress. Most of the content and site-organization remains the same, though some of the Delicious information is now coming directly from Delicious/Settings/Blogging (Link Rolls & Tag Rolls).

There will probably be continued tweaking and tinkering. I’ve been considering joining Twitter (some people have been bugging me) and there is a pretty cool feature in the Elevate theme for twitter feeds.

I uploaded my first Stem to ccMixter, one A Cappella so far. I realized that I’ve enjoyed remixing other people a lot and figured that it would be a good experiment to make some of my own work more available for that purpose.

Starschreck Turns One Years Old

One years old is, of course, not grammatically correct. It is funny how many automated systems still do not account for the singular case. There are currently 1 users online, There is one people in your extended network, Billy has 1 followers…

Today Starschreck turns one year old. It’s been a busy year with finishing school, two internships, and working on a solo sound.

Let’s recap some popular posts.

Memory Ping: 002. The most popular post has been about the 3 ninjas. I have contemplated turning starschreck into a ninja blog. My author name would be Danielson. 

Plastic Prosthetic Ears. Forget electronics in your ears, what about embracing the Dumbo-aesthetic?

The Free Sound Project & An Idea For A Project. I think this made #1 for longest blog post title. FSP is a great resource for sound designers. I haven’t had that much use for it until recently needed some new impulse responses in a pinch.

Gimme Me Some Sample. A riff on sampling and an idea about a person who hears a song based off a sample but isn’t aware that it is a sample, i.e. the young hip hop generation.

The Loudness War. About how music is getting louder, advertising is rumored to be partly responsible for this. Features a YouTube video that illustrates the point.

Starschreck update: armed with del.icio.us

By dan on 20 May 2008 under starschreck

I have started using del.icio.us more and have decided to incorporate that into Starschreck. Using del.icio.us with a WordPress widget allows me to bookmark current articles that I am reading and have those articles immediately featured on Starschreck. I think that’s pretty cool.

My 10 most current del.icio.us links will be available at the bottom of the links page. The goal is to link one new website or article per day. Let’s see how I do.

Update: After one week I have successfully not met my goal of posting one new link per day. The goal has been changed for posting 365 links in 365 days. Averages are my friend.
