Embedding Music in your Blog…

Published by -MiKe- on April 7, 2007 in Blogging and Design. 5 Comments

You may have noticed -no steam shovel- has a bit of a sound-track now. Not just that same damn song, over and over. Some variety…

It took some time, but my quest for embedded blog music has come to an end with FineTune. Check the MORE link for more on the topic, and why I chose them over the competition…

For a good long while I have been looking in to embedded music for blogs to no real avail… I found a good number of embedded solutions, but none seemed to work the way I wanted them to.

Below you will find a few of our options, not really in any order, as well as a description and the pros and cons of each. As you may know, I hate paying for things, so all of these are free, and most importantly, legal. I believe I am about done adding content to this, so there shouldn’t be any more updates unless anyone has anything I should add to the subject.

In this post I will take a look at divShare, FineTune, last.fm, Radio.Blog.Club, Music Video Base, Sonific, the Streampad Widget and the Traditional Embed method for adding music to your blog…

It had to snow…

It’s freakin’ APRIL! Gah… It’s been nearly shorts-weather for the past week, few weeks, and now its just as white outside as February… Ew… It’s not even cold enough! It’s still kind of warm out…

Whatever.

I feel I owe you, dear reader, an apology.

It seems my “update” yesterday was more of a rant than an honest, all encompassing, update. And I am sorry…

Sure, some bad stuff has gone down, but things have been on the up ‘n up too. And here’s where I get to boast…

“Having Trouble Sneezing” by Mark Mothersbaugh

Published by -MiKe- on February 23, 2007 in Projects and asides. 3 Comments

I am doing a quick project for TV Production 1, and I needed the Mac v. PC music… I had been thinking about it for a while, but stupid me, never started looking.

del.icio.us

I’ve been wasting a fair amount of time this afternoon on the blog, trying to integrate del.icio.us and such. I thought I would get AdSense up and running, and then I decided not to be a sell-out. So pretty much, today was wasted… Damn…

Failed fixing the ugly…

Yeah, so that didn’t work…

Fixing the ugly…

At the moment I am in the process of touching up my page a bit… Nothing major, colors, some graphics, we’ll see where it leads me. Not to say that its particularly ugly at the moment… but it isn’t decisively mine, and it shall be here in a few moments…

Long time, no… well… anything.

So, its been a while.

It seams like only yesterday I was setting up my newest blog (this one) and writing away. Posting about this and that to an audience that I wasn’t even sure was out there. Then I hit a road bump, got caught up in the end of the semester shenanigans, and next thing I know… POOF! Happy New Year! Then I just put the whole blog thing on the back burner with the full intent to catch up once I got back to school.

Problem is (and this is a whole story in its self) we don’t have internet at the apartment yet, and I have been having computer “issues” using the school wireless network… But its all back together now, and I thought I would check in.

Jen’s Midterms

Published by -MiKe- on November 9, 2006 in College. 0 Comments

So yeah, Jen’s midterms just came in. She’s kicking my ass right now…

Course Name Mid-Term Exam Mid-Term Grade
Speech A+ A
College Algebra A+ A
General Psychology A+ A
Chemistry I B B
Chemistry Lab I n/a A-

I suppose its my own fault. Skipping classes, handing in late papers… I mean, Jen skips some too, but she gets her work in on time. But then again… I wouldn’t be a guy if I didn’t. Its part of my charm. ;-)

So Jen’s birthday is this weekend. As of Saturday night Jen will be one year closer to not quite 21. Then, Sunday morning, just a year out… HA!!! Still not 21!

I kid… I’m really crying inside…

So, for her birthday I am getting her one, and only one presant. I’m going to fix her laptop. Shhhhh, don’t tell…. ;-)

No no no. I’m going to get something, something good too… I just… Don’t know yet… :-/ Well, I do. I have a list, and I will be checking it twice on Friday, while she’s out with the gurlz.

WTF!? What IS a “Girls Night?!” All I know is I’m not involved… Which is a good change from previous relationships, where “Girls Nights” were virtually non-existent… Gets the woman out of my hair for a night… I’m kidding. She’s even offered to stay a night out of my hair before… Actually, I take quite a bit of flack from Caleb for not taking her up on the offer. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. :-D

Jen just got elected to take over the Husson Writing Center website. Did I ever tell you she’s perfect?

Other news. Tomorrow night Caleb, Danny Boy, and Myself will be checking out the place where we’re going to live next semester. I’ll take pictures and post them tomorrow evening. The rent is going to be super cheap. Like $350 a month a piece cheap.

For those of you playing along at home, that $200 a month cheaper than living on campus. That, with a part-time job, will get me a shiny new MacBook Pro some time this December… Thats my plan anyway.

Also, Jen and I are going to go swing dancing this Sunday (hopefully), and maybe we’ll get my laundry done some time before then too… Before it eats me.

And for those of you wondering. Rechecked the wedding audio on one of the SL1’s, and the sound is perfect. I’ll start on that tomorrow.

PEACE!
