February 15th, 2010Low-fat Condiments
August 17th, 2009I think the food industry has the wrong idea about making low-fat foods, especially condiments. They try to create something with the same consistency and taste of the full-fat variety, but miss the target much of the time.
What I propose is this: create flavor-saturated versions of the regular product. This way, rather than decreasing the fat content, the consumer will decrease the intake. For example, instead of a 1/3 fat cream cheese, the consumer could use 1/3 as much of a full-fat 3x the flavor cream cheese. The fat intake would be the same as the low-fat. The flavor would be the same as the full-fat.
I’m sure not all products could be this way, but I’d be willing to bet that condiments especially could be made like this. Then, we just need to retrain the consumer in how much is the proper amount to eat.
The Band I Want to Start (with mp3s)
August 12th, 2009Okay, so you may know I’m interested in starting a band. I figured I’d give ya’ll a little inspiration as to what I was envisioning. I’m normally inclined to make hip hop, but my favorite genre is electro house. What I really want to make is electro house / hip hop / funk / electronica / dance music.
On the popular side of things, the new Black Eyed Peas album, “The E.N.D.” and LMFAO’s album, “Party Rock,” are very similar to what I want to make. I included a few songs by them to provide an example of some of their music. LMFAO has a lot of better songs for example, but I picked this one because it’s mostly clean.

As far as electro house music is concerned, look up MSTRKRFT, Justice, Daft Punk, Bloody Beetroots’ “Romborama,” and other similar acts. As far as electro-funk, Chromeo is the best example I can think of, along with DJ Mehdi.
Anyways, there isn’t much, or maybe even ANY Christian music in this market. Justice is sometimes listed as Christian, but I don’t really see why. The closest I can find in the Christian music world is Family Force 5’s new remix album, “Dance or Die with a Vengeance.” Also, the upcoming Washington Projects album, titled “Light Up the Dark,” will be cool, but not really include as much electronica as I plan on using. For posterity’s sake as well as to big up the Washington Projects, here’s their latest single.

Replacing the DC Power Socket on Powerbook G4
July 30th, 2009Powerbook G4 Power Connector Replacement : Screaming Light Studios
Last night, both the power socket on the side of my computer and the plug on the end of my AC/DC adapter broke. I’ve known this was a bad design since I bought my laptop 4 1/2 years ago. So, I went online and found this guy’s advice on putting a generic power socket on, and followed it today. It took me a while, but I got it. My brother helped solder and my dad helped with advice, and I’m pleased to announce that my computer is powered up and working better than ever. On top of fixing the annoying plug that came unplugged every 10 seconds, I also eradicated a case buzz I used to get on my aluminum laptop shell. Also, while inside, I cleaned some stuff up and my trackpad button works better, as does my bluetooth card.
Mission accomplished.
