One Two Three
OK, so lots of stuff.
First: Domain names. I registered a couple. www.dylanabbott.com, purely for reasons of vanity. Right now it just redirects to this page, but I may do something else with it later on. I’m planning on at least putting up a placeholder page directing back here and to my other new URL: www.iheartairliner.com. This is going to be the site for my electronic music project, Airliner. So far, just a placeholder, but when I release my EP, I’ll launch the full site as well (which I’m still designing).
Which brings me to number two: The EP. I finished the final mixes of all 6 tracks yesterday, and uploaded a 320Mb .rar file (yikes!) for the multi-talented JDG to master for me. Airliner: Apparel will be released online sometime in March, for free, in both Mp3 and FLAC formats. FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec. It’s a way of compressing audio files in size, without sacrificing any audio quality, like you do with Mp3 at any bitrate. So there will be literally CD quality tracks available for download. There will also be a .PDF of the cover art included. I’m not planning on doing a physical release yet, but I’ll probably burn a few one-off CD-Rs just in case. Eventually, I might do a small run through Disc Fu.
Thirdly: Del.icio.us. I’ve known about this site for a while, but the full implications of what it does just struck me this week. I can’t even explain it. Remember back in the late 90s sometime, when Wired magazine was all about PUSH technology on the internet, and everyone laughed at them? Well, maybe there was something to it. Read this article to get an idea for what’s so hot about “Social Bookmarking”. Oh and by the way, my link feed is here.
Um….yeah. Goodness. I don’t know what else to talk about, so I’ll just leave you with that. More later….
