Whilst getting ready for bed, I began to pull my sweater over my head. Simultaneously I yawned, a big tired yawn, from which came a string of drool. The drool hits the inside of the sweater, which is then dragged across my face, thusly covering my eyebrows and forehead in my own saliva.
It was like a sub-conscience, self-deprecating, Rube Goldberg machine.
God is trying to tell me something.
Juan and I have put together a free alternative to the new Nike + iPod device. (No Nikes or iPods required!)
So my wife and I are spending the weekend packing, as we’ll be moving into our new house right after the new year. I’ve been going through boxes of old stuff, much of which has been packed since the last time we moved. Every once and a while I’ll come across a very particular looking type of CD.

We’ve all heard people say that they can make anyone into a pop star these days. But this little gem of a video actually shows all the pieces being put together. The big surprise to me was the Auto-Tune work. I’ve actually used Auto-Tune, but it’s a pretty deep program and has a decent learning curve, so I didn’t get a chance to see it’s full power. I’ve heard plenty of stories about people who get paid just for their Auto-Tune skills, but seeing this before and after really opens your eyes. They take a completely flat, bored performance, and turn it into something you wouldn’t be too surprised to hear on the radio today. Pretty ridiculous.
