Since Jim is taking the awesome Cocoa class at Big Nerd Ranch SF, and I can't (Waaahhh), I want Aaron's book instead.

I'm looking for solution to a particular problem. I have source audio material on cassette tape. Assuming I have a machine with audio inputs, what sort of software (preferably free, or cheap) should I be looking for to:

An anonymous buddy: "i'll take the path that leads to the possibility that i won't have to make a decision". To know him is to know why this is funny. And sad.

Mac legend Bob Levitus is senior editor of a new Mac OS X site, OS X Faq. This is definitely going in my bookmarks.

Just thought I'd point out that Radio Userland ships soon, and along with it a new era in Frontier-based scripting for those who do not need Frontier as a server platform. Right now I'm developing a Tool that runs unit tests on our internal XML-RPC server. Sweet!

Song of the day: A Sort Of Homecoming.

I have nothing to post.

Jim is mocking me... I just re-discovered blogtracker, née the SubHonker Filter. Dan has even has a Mozilla sidebar for it. Joy Joy! Now I can get all these pesky Weblogs out of my bookmarks.

Jodi's at Macworld, so I'm chilling at home tonight, enjoying rented entertainment. The score so far:

One of the things I like about the new iMac. Check out this picture from Chris DiBona - the iMac seems "eager". "Use me!" it says.

...and you're near a Trader Joe's, pick up a four-pack of Virgil's Rootbeer. Good, good, stuff.

Found on SlashDot: an external SoundBlaster box from Creative. Looks pretty cool. It's got a bunch of inputs (including midi, optical, two minis - device and mic, and more) and as many or more outputs, including 5.1 surround. Wow. Neat.
