Solar Flare Blowback

Yep.  The I-Sun’s love explosion is set to hit us today.  Here is a pretty cool animation courtesy of NASA showing the money shot:

So for those of you in the higher lattitudes, go out from the cities and see if you can see the faint glow of the I-Sun’s love.  And as always…a great time to back up your files.

UPDATED WORDPRESS TODAY! Testing a New MP3 Player plug-in!

Rundgren Todd-Surf Talks     

To simply create a player for a track you upload to the media library:

  1. Decide on the mp3 you wish to upload.
  2. On the sidebar, click Media.
  3. Click Add New.
  4. Upload the mp3 from your computer to the media libary.  NOTE:  The mp3 must be under 8 megs or 8,000 k.
  5. VERY IMPORTANT: After it uploads, MAKE NOTE OF FILE NAME. The uploader WILL change the filename. You want to make a note of how it changed (Ctrl-C – copy it somewhere).  Here’s an example of what it did to me:  The file on my hard drive is named as follows:TV Toons-Rockford Files.mp3The filename you must call is listed on this screen as (notice the location of the dashes):TV-Toons-Rockford-Files.mp3
  6. Create your new post to hold the player.  Using the song above I will enter the text WITHOUT QUOTES (but definitely with the brackets) into the HTML editor:

TA DAAAAH!  It’s that easy (somewhat).

Here’s the same thing but in a nifty “customizable” player.

The code for that looks like this:

This plug in will allow you to create customizable playlists (provided all your media is uploaded), adjust volume, and a bunch of other neato things.  I just think it’s nice to actually play something from the blog rather than have people download it to play it.

Here’s the link for the instructions

Here’s a playback link to WMOM.

The code for that looks like this:

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Psychadelia – Dust Off Your Balance Knob

Trippy Herb
Trip out with Herb Alpert mannnn

I have remixed Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass’s-Green Leaves of Summer.

I had a mix of it recorded backwards that I was enjoying and Will recommended that I have it playing backwards and forwards at the same time.

I took the extra step and put the backwards recording in the left speaker and the forwards recording in the right speaker.  That way you can enjoy them both or separate.

Lush Lagoon

2 Comments

This holiday weekend, why not try something different then the usual beer while celebrating our nation’s history by blowing pieces of it up with fireworks, and sipping on a cool “Lush Lagoon*.”

*WARNING: Do not attempt to put out drunken firework induced fires with “Lush Lagoon.” Dosing the flames with “Lush Lagoon” may result in death or injury. Ingestion of “Lush Lagoon” may result in death or injury.
