summer fun
by Jeremy on August 28th, 2010
it’s been a busy summer. I hiked the Juan de Fuca trail with a couple of friends, and got a lot of beach/board/bike/bbq time in. I even showed up to work a few times.
I just got back from a short tour with Elephant Train. It was ridiculous. Joe tied himself up in a tree while wearing a chicken suit, because he thought it would be a good place to sleep. Rope Swings, cliff diving and all manner of swimming. Beer. So many boobs. Skulls. Cigarettes. Booze. Hammocks. Stuff. Cops. Bubbles. Double-decker guitar mayhem. Smells. Oh thank goodness the smells are gone. Thanks to our friends on the road: Ari, Jimmy, Todd and Kim for making it extra awesome.
I gave in and got one of those new-fangled iPhones before the tour. The screen is amazing, and it definitely beats the snot out of the MintPad I was using for mobile doodling and composing. Fuck you, Windows CE. SunVox runs really nice on the iPhone, but the new music hotness is definitely NanoStudio. So rad. I sat in a hammock jamming out space jazz for hours last night. The workflow is definitely a step in the right direction. Two other music must-haves: BeBot - a great little synth, with some smart input design, and Baby Scratch is a great little turntable emulator, which I like scratching on at least as much as it’s fuller-featured big brother, Flare.
I also am infatuated with Brushes for doodling, especially with a stylus. It’s amazing, it’s like the MintPad memo, but much nicer. iThoughts is the best mindmapping tool I have found for planning, and Awesome Note is a great place to dump my thoughts. If only it worked with my google calendar, I would be the most organized man alive.
Anyone want to buy a MintPad?
