Day 12. This started out as a totally unrelated riff, and by the time I was done adding to it, the original riff didn't make any sense so I deleted it. There are actually 4 different kinds of trumpet tracks in this in order to achieve this semi-realistic result. I was on the fence about adding a faint string section in the background and decided against it in the end. I enjoyed playing with the drum section in this one, using silence to emphasize the trumpet solos. -

Day 11: Simpler fonts #100DaysOfIndieWeb
The other day I read a pretty funny blog post called "10 things I learned making the fastest site in the world". It's a little tongue in cheek, but overall has some good tips. One that caught my attention was the section on using web fonts.continue reading... -

Day 10. Mozart is probably rolling in his grave. I took the beginning of Lacrimosa, changed it to 4/4, and added drums and some other non orchestral instruments. This was my first time playing with the East/West Choir "Word Builder" which is a tool where you can type phonetically what you want the choir to sing and it puts it together. This rendition is by no means perfect, but I could get it a lot closer with more time, tuning the precise timings of moving from each consonant to vowel and back. The instrumentals I added are inspired by E.S. Posthumus. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

Day 10: HTML status pages for webmention.io #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Yesterday I added a Webmention form at the bottom of my posts. If you used this form, it would show you a "check status" link after accepting the Webmention request. My Webmentions are all handled by webmention.io, and its status URLs return a JSON response. This isn't particularly friendly when someone views one of these URLs in a browser, since they just see a raw JSON blob.Today I updated webmention.io to return all responses in HTML if they're made from a browser. It checks to see if there is text/html in the Accept header, and returns HTML if so, otherwise returns JSON as normal. Now when you view one of these status links, you'll see something like this.continue reading... -
Day 9. I don't really know what I was going for here. I had this tune in my head on the bike ride home from downtown this evening. This one only took an hour or so to jot down, since I wasn't going for any particular sound. The animation kind of sums it up. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

Day 8. Today's song is an experiment in not using any percussion and trying to create the sense of rhythm other ways. A lot of this was inspired by one of @adamsinger's Creative Commons tracks. I wanted to see what it would take to create something with a similar feel. There's also a hint of Royksopp in here. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

Day 8: Pinned Posts #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I've never really been a fan of using pinned posts on my Twitter profile, so I didn't expect this would be something I wanted on my own website. On my own home page I can just write whatever I want above my posts, so I don't really need "pinned posts" there either. However I just found a use for pinned posts, but not on my home page!I've been sharing the link to my 100 days tags with people as a way to share the content quickly. I wanted to be able to have a little intro post above the list of posts, and I realized that "pinned posts" matched the pattern of what I wanted pretty nicely! So now, on tag and channel pages on my site, I can mark a post as "pinned" and it will always show up on top! The first post I've pinned is on my #100DaysOfIndieWeb tag page.continue reading... -
Day 7: Nicer sparklines for tag pages
A while ago, inspired by @adactio, I had added sparklines to my home page and tag pages. After having them for a while, I realized that my tag pages would look better as sparkline bar charts instead of as a plain line.The lines looked fine for tags that had a lot of data, but didn't look good when there were only a few data points.continue reading...
