Shambot! » Audio http://www.shambot.com Fri, 04 Oct 2013 21:14:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 NPR’s Sunday Puzzle vs. ActionScript 3 http://www.shambot.com/trygve/2010-09-24/nprs-sunday-puzzle-vs-actionscript-3/ http://www.shambot.com/trygve/2010-09-24/nprs-sunday-puzzle-vs-actionscript-3/#comments Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:35:53 +0000 http://www.shambot.com/?p=3022 Today I was listening to podcasts and came across this week’s Sunday Puzzler. Take a listen…

A doozie!
Well, I got a little idea to solve it new-school by letting the do computer the work.

All I needed to do was find a list of countries in the world, then make a little app that could read that list and compare the country names against each other. Evil genius laugh…

Three possible answers! That is TWO more than the “puzzle master” Will Shorts found! PaChow!

I’ll be swimming in NPR lapel pins come this Sunday.
English comments along with puzzle-solver code here.

Audio Recording http://www.shambot.com/joel/2009-09-12/audio-recording/ http://www.shambot.com/joel/2009-09-12/audio-recording/#comments Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:43:32 +0000 http://www.shambot.com/joel/2009-09-12/audio-recording/ I recorded these from my phone and I was surprised at the quality, unusually high! Anyways, some are from New York others are from Minneapolis (during SES). You’ll probably need to turn your volume up a bit as they are generally on the quiet side.

[3:20]

Here is a nice picture I made for you to look at while listening.

Never Want to

PS- Joel, how do you upload an mp3 so it shows up with a little media player instead of it being a link to the file?

Did you know you can share pictures and videos via iChat? I (joel) DID NOT AND IT IS AMAZING! Also, we danced:

Also, we Photoshop’d our eyebrows off. Gross! Thank god we all have eyebrows. Don’t you think that Chance looks like Old Biff from Back to the Future 2?
No Eyebrows are GROSS
Chance?

new album http://www.shambot.com/bill/2008-07-29/new-album/ http://www.shambot.com/bill/2008-07-29/new-album/#comments Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:16:35 +0000 http://www.shambot.com/?p=1854 I’m working on a new album! This is the sophomore slump guys, so don’t expect much. I’ve only made three songs, and so far I’m going minimalistic. I’m taking this very seriously* now, just look at the design and title of the album (the right side is the front, left is the back):

Here’s the song Tail Lights

*yeah right

P.S.- My collection of songs is 13 long now. Since they’re all only 1 minute long I think I’ll burn a CD when I hit 35 songs.

REMIX:

(PS- the drums are a live recording from our attic!)
(PPS (or is it PSS?)- could this be our shambot theme song? Or do we need something less/more silly?)

un tranche de chansons http://www.shambot.com/emma/2007-06-30/un-tranche-de-chansons/ http://www.shambot.com/emma/2007-06-30/un-tranche-de-chansons/#comments Sat, 30 Jun 2007 16:35:22 +0000 http://www.shambot.com/emma/2007-06-30/un-tranche-de-chansons/ Sometimes I wake up and instead of remembering a dream, I’ve got a song stuck in my head. But! It’s not an established song, nooo. It’s a DREAM SONG. Dream songs are little snippets of melodies that my head manages to create while I’m sleeping and then it puts it on repeat and I wake up with a tiny melody stuck in my head. Sometimes they’ve got lyrics, which are always nonsensical, and rarely do I remember them. But today I woke up and decided I would remember my most current DREAM SONG by recording it in Garage Band. Would you like to listen to it?

Some disclaimers: I really suck at Garage Band. I also really suck and making music, even if it is in my dreams.

Onto other things. You guys may or may not know about all the crime that’s been going on, but I am beginning to become paranoid, considering most of it involved me in one way or another. I think, obviously, it’ll take time to get over such events.. but I’m glad I have good friends to do it with.

In other, less depressing news, last night Chance and I got squished in an elevator by a bunch of high schoolers in an elevator with one of those portable ipod speaker things. Then we went outside and hung out with Bill, Ben, and Desiree and then Chance turned into the WERE-ROCKER and we fell into hysterics.
