Clicknoise will be held incommunicado by graduate studies deadlines and a big residential move (happening this week). Posts will be sporadic if at all until I can resume regular postings, estimated sometime in the week of April 9-13, when the shit hits the fan.
I'm pleased to say that this will ...

A while ago, I brought you news about eJamming, a real-time remote music recording app. Totally beneath my RSS/Press Release radar, the app has become available for public download at their website (!).
I'm downloading it now. I gotta go get my midi controller and guitar up here. I wonder if ...

Last week I experimented briefly with content syndication on Clicknoise, part of a wider campaign of mine to tinker with Wordpress plugins. I accidentally succeeded in syndicating posts from Inner Ear Infection, where my friend Bruce writes. Surprised to have gotten the php correct, I quickly removed all of the ...

It was a packed event, and a great speech (the same one he's been delivering elsewhere of late). Ivaniv at Blogaholics ...

Jean Baudrillard has died. For all his warts (e.g., his ideas inspired tons of unwatchable drek such as The Matrix, as well as his light-headed book Passwords, among other disappointing late writings), he was one of the most influential public intellectuals of the 20th Century (right up there with Chomsky, ...

Wow. I've just finished moving all of my sites (including Clicknoise) to a new host, I've upgraded Wordpress, and judging by the results these were the correct things to do. The latest version of Wordpress is slick in Safari. Finally I'm no longer relegated to hand-coding my HTML in my ...

So apart from having to reconstruct* last Friday's article about the demise of independent retailers (and improving on the original, though there is absolutely no way to compare the two versions now) everything is back in order.
