Well, that was a huge amount of stress about audio junk 99% of humans will never notice or care about. What a world.

The master for Out of It is as done as I can make it be and will be heading into manufacturing tomorrow. After this all I can do is regret. Party time!

A friend of mine’s been doing great weekly dance mixes at Lowpass – DJ. He’s got a podcast feed now. It makes me look forward to exercising.

You can buy I Don’t Know What I’m Doing in FLAC format again (click ‘more buying options’). Out of It will be available in FLAC as well when it’s released.

Finished up all the Out of It mixes yesterday, moving on to mastering now. Actually I wouldn’t say “finished” I’d say more “gave up and decided to move on with my life”. Here’s hoping that’s close enough.

Album artwork is submitted to the manufacturer, deposit placed on weary credit card. Found out Digipaks take 4-5 weeks instead of 2-3 as I originally thought, though luckily I scheduled out the timeline with a few weeks to spare.

Thanks to everyone who’s been pre-ordering, it’s nice to know this isn’t all for nothing.

Haven’t gotten too many submissions for the Fake It cliche video yet, but this one from Einar is awesome:

Yours doesn’t have to be as professional looking of course, the more amateur the funnier.

Here’s a pre-release single off Out of It:

Also: I’m looking for help making the most cliché music video ever for it. Help!

I love Gmail. Conversation views, labels, keyboard macros and super fast search – it makes my life easier. One thing I also love are the email contact groups. It’s like tagging for humans and I love to categorize the people who email me (podcaster, blogger, fan, booker, musician, artist, family, mortal enemy, etc).

But it’s not as easy to group people as it should be. Here’s my easy to read prototype that I’d appreciate you forward to anyone you know at Google:

Instead of having to mouse over a contact name, get that card to show up, click More, click Contact Details, click Groups and select the group, instead I propose that all that be right in that popup. Amazing idea! I’m a genius!

Anyway, I’m sorry for the tone of voice. It’s mostly due to the hour I just wasted trying to get Greasemonkey to do exactly this. I love you Gmail, I could never stay mad at you.
