Pretty impressed that Amazon basically tells you build an #OAuth2 server without actually saying it explicitly https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/linking-an-alexa-user-with-a-user-in-your-system#how-account-linking-works -

Day 13: Daft Punk vs The Office #100DaysOfMusic
Day 13. Daft Punk vs The Office. I had fun with this one! This is the chords and melody from Daft Punk's Get Lucky, but instrumented and arranged the same as the theme from The Office. It's also my first time using a vocoder on my own voice!continue reading... -
Day 13: Curved Lines for Atlas Static Maps #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Yesterday, Amy was asking if there was a library for drawing curved lines between two points on a map. She wants to use this for her travel posts, which say for example "Tokyo to Boston". We noticed that Facebook draws curved lines when they show a planned trip. Martijn was able to figure out how to reproduce this on Facebook consistently. You have to start by creating a "checkin" post, then add a "traveling to" activity to it. Notice that the line from Portland to Seattle is curved rather than straight, although it doesn't strictly follow a Great Circle line either.continue reading... -
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. I'm definitely less happy with this one than any others so far, but hey that's what this project is about. Putting stuff out there and not worrying too much about it. #100daysofmusic #100daysproject #the100dayproject

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
