Moving house is an odd thing, even when that house turns out to be a virtual one. Usually, visual changes here are purely design changes as both my tastes and my design skills evolve. But, this time, many of the changes you see are connected to a migration (or move) of what and how this site functio...
A full cast audiobook series about a young superhero team filled with snark, in-jokes, good writing, and — Okay, you sold me! You had me at the word “superhero.”
Matt Phillion has a great series going, with twists, turns and spin-offs. And, I am loving the challenge of bringing it to audio.
“T...
“The fact that [AI]’s specific output cannot be predicted by users makes [AI] different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists.”
They were specifically talking about the art-making AI, Midjourney in this ruling, but as a precedent, what does this mea...
The news that Facebook and Instagram would be joining Twitter in charging for verification got me thinking about the state of social media and where it is going. The old business model for a social media platform was simple enough to understand:
- Platform grows to have a large amount of users i...
Three too many cloves of garlic. That’s what it takes to get the apartment to smell of soup. I let it simmer over the lowest heat as I come and go randomly adding a vegetable here, some chicken there.
It thickens over time, as the broth becomes.
And I wash the rice, before I toast it in a bit of...
I have been avoiding writing about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Machine Learning (ML) in audiobooks so far, but with the changes currently underway, not talking about it is no longer an option.
We’ve seen it happen in movies, so we have expected it to come to audiobooks for quite some time: de...
Things are definitely changing a bit faster than I expected. And, it is easiest to see these changes if I look as far outside my typical day-to-day tech usage as I can. Once I do, I find things like this Tom Scott video…
I am a bit older than Tom. And, I do remember everything that he mentions...
Because I have been keeping a journal electronically for so long, I standardized on plain text files. After all, just about everything can read plain text (txt) files.
At one of my first programming jobs, I was then required to use Vim, and once I got the hang of it, it became my prefered way to...
Don’t get me wrong. I love the Admin Bar that WordPress shows on sites that I maintain. But, there are a few things that I want to change.
- Move the Admin Bar to the bottom of the screen.
The top of the screen is prime real estate. And on sites that I maintain, I tend to design/tweak themes. So,...
A few days ago, ChatGPT seemed happy to help me look up some pronunciations; a few days later, it doesn’t want to help me out anymore.
Once I had a well formed query, ChatGPT had been very helpful.
I was so happy with the result, that I posted about it here. A few days later all of that seem...
It’s no secret that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has started to affect the way we work as audiobook narrators. Usually, posts like this focus on how AI negatively impacts the work that we do. Here, I will talk about something positive.
Unfortunately, it has become more and more common for audioboo...

Audiograms are cool! By combining your audio with an image (like the book cover) in a compelling way, aud...
Even us creative types need to remember that when all is said and done, we are running a business. And businesses live or die on information. Oodles of information, that may or may not be useful, come our way — all day, every day. Without a reliable method to parse all of that data, valuable connect...
Just like my scripts that add this functionality to both TwistedWave and Audacity, it is possible to get Audition to do a basic Punch & Roll.
My script is written for Mac OSX, it should be possible to implement a similar script on Windows using a program called Auto HotKey.
1. On your M...
If you are using my AppleScript that adds Punch and Roll to TwistedWave and want to assign a Keyboard Shortcut to the script, follow the steps outlined below. Any image that has been reduced in size to fit the page can be enlarged by clicking on it.
1. In your Applications folder, double click o...
