    Google’s new feature, launched today, gives you an overview of your Google Account - what all services you use, with a bit of data on each. It’s a good way to remember that oh wait, I have a Google Voice account. Let’s hope this grows.

Mac Rumors has an overview of Apple’s new iPod Touch-based EasyPay system. It’s great that Apple will now be able to control the software, but I sure wish they’d gone with a nicer shell for the hardware.
I mean, who wants a stylus?

    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    My first Okinawan pop song composition titled “Ti tu Ti.” The theme is based on the Okinawan folk song “Tinsagu nu Hana.” Big props to my big bro on chorus (soon to be joined by my SIL when she has her part ready) and my SIL for the very cool piano accompaniment. (I’m on sanshin and singing the verses.)

    We’re about 90% complete on the song and it’s been a great learning experience for me as a songwriter. Before having my SIL lay down the piano part, I never thought about measures, signatures, etc. Well, next time. :)

    I think the recording came out pretty good considering that I used my MacBook’s built-in mic with Apple’s GarageBand (of course).

    I’ll post the completed song when it’s done.



    Played 4 time(s).
