Old Fiat 500

Posted at 7:30 pm | Filed Under digital

Fiat has re-introduced the 500, a model that helped Fiat pull itself out of the post-war years and enjoy some level of success, around the world and in America until the mid-1980s.  I love the original Fiat 500, and have run into this beautiful, mint-condition 500 around the corner from my office a couple of […]

While googling around, I came across a post on the Healing Beats forum describing  a program called Boodler. […]

Since FM3 was kind enough to offer the loops from their Buddha Machine 1.0 for free and on a Creative Commons license, Mystified and Zieltogend endeavored to create pieces of music using only these sounds. Unlike the original Buddha Machine, more than one loop is heard at once in these pieces, giving them perhaps a little bit of an unfair advantage. We hope you enjoy the music.

SwitchProxy update – google posterity post

Posted at 5:35 pm | Filed Under blog

I swear by SwitchProxy for Firefox. I use proxies to test our work environment and route web traffic through a SSH tunnel when I’m on an untrusted wireless network. Unfortunately, SwitchProxy hasn’t been updated for some time – it doesn’t work on newer versions of Firefox. I read this post which talked about tweaking .xpi […]
