The Setup 2014-11-27T21:03:47Z http://usesthis.com/ Daniel Bogan James T. Green 2014-11-27T00:00:00Z http://james.t.green.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

Hey y'all! I'm James T. Green. I'm an artist and designer living and working in Chicago.

My art practice explores race, culture, and their relationship with technology using video, performance, and small programming experiments while my design practice is focused towards designing for screens - mostly individuals, art organizations, and non-profits.

I also write, with various posts, journals, and a weekly newsletter, because people still seem to like reading things on the Internet and it's practice for communication skills. Who knew?

What hardware do you use?

I'm a big nerd so I like trying out different hardware while sticking with what I have for as long as I can. I'm currently mashing these words on a 13-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.10 Yosemite (still surprisingly working after surviving a brief water accident). I collaborated on an art piece with a friend for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and in exchange for my time, I got hooked up with 8 GB of RAM. Gotta love the artist economy.

Other things that I use on the daily. An iPad Air, 32GB with cellular data for drawing wireframes, sketching, writing when I don't feel like bringing my computer, making new audio experiments for art projects, and for listening podcasts around the house. Also, it makes a great recipe book for when my wife and I are trying to make new dishes!

I also have a beautifully beat up iPhone 5S, 32GB that is my daily driver for directions, Twittering, basically all the things. For longer trips, conferences, or art openings, I bring along a Mophie Juice Pack to make sure I have enough juice to get through the day. An unlikely hero in my daily life is my Pebble Watch. I ride my bike all around the flat lands of Chicago and many times I'll forget how to get somewhere. Directions on my wrist is really helpful, including all the health tracking that I'm doing to keep healthy.

Before I head out the house, I have my favorite, beat up Herschel Little America backpack with a "Go By Train" patch designed by friend Brent Knepper. My laptop and iPad have matching Herschel sleeves to protect on those longer, wet bike rides (and my general clumsiness).

And what software?

My standards are Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign CS6. For markup and code, I use Sublime Text, Apple's built in Terminal, Xcode, and Arduino's app when I'm trying to making physical objects. All my writing is done in Writer Pro and my daily journaling in Day One, with Mailchimp being my choice for sending out my weekly newsletter. Audio editing is handled in Audacity, GarageBand, and Abelton Live. Video editing is done mostly in Final Cut Pro X with later encoding handled in Adobe Media Encoder. All my task managing is handled through the built in Reminders app on Mac and iOS, but scheduling is taken care of via Fantastical for Mac and iOS. All my text notes and documents are backed up in Evernote, Dropbox, and Backblaze. All my sketch notes and drawings are done in the app Paper by FiftyThree.

When I need to focus, I flip on one of my music playlists in Rdio but when I'm doing more mind-numbing tasks, any podcast in Overcast fills my time. Here's some of my favorite podcasts, by the way! Whew, did I miss anything?

When I'm not working, Tweetbot for Mac, iPhone and iPad gets the job done. I use Reeder 2 to keep up on news and feeds. Instapaper gives me a bunch of long reads to check out on the train or before bed.

What would be your dream setup?

I'm really happy with my setup, for the most part! The only thing I would change is a more powerful machine for the desk and on the go, especially for larger video and audio projects. I would love to have a decked out 27-inch iMac with 16GB of RAM to stay at home and a 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro to bring along to the art studio or off-site work days.

Also, if you can move my entire work set up into a remote cabin in the woods of Wisconsin, that would swell.
 Kathleen De Vere 2014-11-25T00:00:00Z http://kathleen.de.vere.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm Kathleen De Vere. I'm a writer, video editor, actor and illustrator for LoadingReadyRun. I write and co-write for LoadingReadyRun and the Friday Nights series for Wizards of the Coast, and I edit lots of things including those videos and web-TV shows like Strip Search, Tabletop Deathmatch and Feed Dump. I also draw the characters for LoadingReadyRun's Pinny Arcade pins and some of our merchandise. I tweet quite a bit too.

What hardware do you use?

When I'm writing I just use Google Docs on whatever computer I happen to be working at. I usually supplement that with some Panasonic RP-HTX7-W1 Stereo Headphones (in white) and either Rdio or my own music. I have been listening to Syro recently. Wait, does music count as hardware anymore? I suppose I need at least hardware to physically listen to it, so that's something.

When I'm working at home, I use a hand-me-down 27" iMac. It's from 2009, and being a jerk, I'm still running 10.8.5. I use a lot of older hardware in my personal life and I have learned that if you are using an older computer/phone/device any leap forward in operating system is usually means awful performance. That said in 2009 my computer was pretty boss, and it's got a 2.8 GHz processor and 16 GB of RAM.

If I'm editing at the LoadingReadyRun office I use the brand new computer, a quad core trashcan Mac Pro! Honestly, the thing doesn't run as well as I'd like it to, considering the price.

And what software?

I edit with Final Cut Pro X on both computers. If I'm drawing I'm very old fashioned and I draw onto Strathmore bristol board, with good mechanical pencils and Sakura microns. If I'm colouring I use copics, and if I'm colouring digitally I scan my lineart and clean it up in either Photoshop or Illustrator.

What would be your dream setup?

My dream setup is very boring. All I would really like to add to what I already have is a good record player (and the space in my office for said record player, the speakers and amp required to use it.) But if I'm going to dream real big, I would love a Cintiq. Why not a 22HD Touch? I don't use tablets, but I'd love to be able to cut out the pen and paper from my art process. It's only like, $3,000 Canadian.
 Sarah Mirk 2014-11-20T00:00:00Z http://sarah.mirk.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm a journalist who is curious about pretty much everything, but who mostly focuses on issues of gender, history, and social justice. I'm the online editor of national feminism and pop culture media outlet Bitch, so I work with about 100 writers a year to create thought-provoking articles and publish their work on Bitch. I do a lot of work in radio, too, as the host of Bitch's twice-monthly podcast Popaganda - it's a great show.

Over the past three years, I've been writing an open-minded book about dating called Sex from Scratch: Making Your Own Relationship Rules. It's a critical-thinking dating guide that focuses on nontraditional relationships and figuring out what will make you healthy and happy. On top of all that, I write, draw, and edit nonfiction comics (and am a voracious comics reader). So, I work in pretty much every medium and am always busy with creative projects.

What hardware do you use?

I really don't have anything fancy - everything I use for all of my projects needs to easily fit in a bike bag. I have a Macbook Air that I take everywhere and use for everything, plus an iPhone that's so old that people from San Francisco make fun of it. I use a Zoom recorder for podcast interviews (though we also record segments and the show intros in a professional studio).

When I was getting serious about journalism, I bought a used Canon Rebel XT and that's still reliable for taking photos - I mostly document protests and take photos that I can use to illustrate articles. For comics, I draw my own using pencil and paper, then scan them in using a big old scanner at Portland's Independent Publishing Resource Center.

And what software?

Does social media count? The technology I use most often for my work is Twitter - I love Twitter. I'm also a big fan of Tumblr, I love the conversations, communities, and art that I stumble across on there. The Popaganda podcast lives on SoundCloud, which I think is great both for listening to podcasts and for finding new music. Every week on Bitch we post a new feminist mixtape, which are hosted on 8tracks.com, which is another great site for finding music and sharing mixes. Also, I use Flickr pretty much every day to find photos that are in the Creative Commons to use for articles. Creative Commons is so fantastic! I add photos to it whenever I can - I think it's brilliant.

The most helpful piece of software I've discovered recently is online photo-editing platform Pixlr. It's like a free, very simple of Photoshop and is perfect for quickly making extremely basic infographics to run with articles. There are also a couple apps that make life as a journalist easier: I use Voice Record Pro for recording interviews on my phone and TapeACall Pro for recording phone interviews - both are super simple, get surprisingly decent audio, and make it easy to upload the files to email or Dropbox. To find new podcasts, I use an app called Swell, which learns your interests and recommends new shows.

As you can see, I rely heavily on software that's free. Bitch is a nimble nonprofit and we don't have a lot of money to spend on expensive licenses, so software that's free and open source makes me happy.

What would be your dream setup?

I think I've got it. I guess if I could have all this, plus an endless supply of coffee and a free bike mechanic, I'd be set for life.
 Bo Adepoju 2014-11-18T00:00:00Z http://bo.adepoju.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

Hi! My name is Bo Adepoju. I work at Intel on chip goodness (specifically, power management firmware validation). Essentially I work on enabling devices to boot and reset at a chip level.

Computing excites me. I like to think of myself as a lifetime learner and tinkerer.

What hardware do you use?

Between work and distance learning graduate school @ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I'm almost always glued to being in front of a computer. At home I use a Haswell 11-inch MacBook Air as my daily driver. I was hesitant using the 11-inch as my main machine at first having given up a 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro when I moved to Portland from Southern California, but it has worked out admirably.

I have more tablets and phones than is probably healthy, I'm somewhat of a device collector (or maybe hoarder?). At home in the device vault I have an OG Droid, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, iPad 3, iPhone 5, Dell Venue 8 Pro, Google Glass and no less than 3 laptops (excluding the MacBook Air) accrued over the course of undergraduate life. I don't use all of these, but it's fun to grab an older device to play with every once in a while.

At work I must admit, I have an HP tanker (a tanker with good specs no less, but still a tanker). Luckily, my physical device is mostly irrelevant because it usually simply serves as a gateway to all-powerful server magic.

I just recently bought a Haswell-E i7-5960X and am very ready to put those 8-cores to use @ home with a crazy PC build. I'm building a gaming PC centered on the X99 chipset and NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980 (I'm thinking 2x in SLI). If you check back with me soon I should have this complete and be happily plugging away at League of Legends and the like at a-bazillion FPS.

I have several microcontroller boards lying around my place. The ones I have from undergraduate days ([8051][mc-51], LPC2148), and an Arduino Uno are doing nothing at the moment, but I do have an Intel Galileo hooked up to Philips Hue at home with the sole purpose of strobing lights (personal light show)!

And what software?

I'm a big Linux KDE user and spend a lot of time in Kate (and sometimes vim). I also rely on Sublime Text. C, C++, Ruby. I'm learning even when I think I've fully escaped from Matlab, but it'll never actually happen.

I use Spotify all day long and usually have TweetDeck displayed on a vertical monitor at work.

What would be your dream setup?

I think I'm mostly at a good spot with what I use today, but contributing to my dream setup will definitely be the gaming PC I'm working on now! With a 4K monitor, mechanical keyboard and all that jazz. And having more microcontrollers. You can never have too many microcontrollers.
 Nick Youssef 2014-11-13T00:00:00Z http://nick.youssef.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

My name is Nick Youssef and I'm an L.A based, nationally touring stand up comedian. I just released an album called "Stop Not Owning This," which right now can be found on iTunes and All Things Records. The upcoming vinyl release will be out Jan. 13th, 2015 on Literally Figurative Records.

I also host a podcast called Occasionally Awesome on The All Things Comedy network.

What hardware do you use?

The running theme with technology for me is user friendliness because I am basically computer illiterate. So, for the podcast, my co-host and I record all episodes on a Zoom H4N recorder because it is easy to use as well as portable. We use anywhere from two to four Shure microphones, depending on the number of guests.

For comedy writing, I still use a combination of computers and pen and paper. I find I'm more connected to my thoughts with the latter. That, and I started comedy in the early 2000s before everyone was carrying around iPhones, laptops and iPads. Most of my ideas come when I'm out and about so I always carry around a Pilot G2 Mini gel pocket pen and write things down on a Moleskine ruled soft cover pocket notebook.

They are virtually indestructible little notebooks. Once it's time to sit down and flesh out the ideas into working bits for the stage, I use a large, hardcover ruled Moleskine notebook and a full size pen. Lately I've been using this Lamy rollerball and this Retro 51 Hex-o-matic ballpoint.

Moleskines don't come with pen holders, but this company, Lechtturum, makes a great one that adheres to almost any notebook. After I write and re-write a few times, I switch over to my computer, a mid 2012, 13 inch MacBook Air. I chose the Air because of the lighter weight and portability. I'm always on the go so the lighter load the easier it is on the shoulders. Jokes rarely work the way you envision them when writing, which is why it's smart to always record your sets. For that I use the voice memo recorder on my iPhone 5 (32GB) with a beat up old pair of (now discontinued) Beats Pro headphones.

I write in a lot of coffeehouses so drowning out the sounds of college kids and screenwriters is essential to maintaining my focus and sanity.

And what software?

I edit the audio for my podcast using GarageBand. Audio of two or three people talking involves minimal editing or sound manipulation so for software, GarageBand is perfect. I can import audio, make tweaks and export it all inside of a half hour.

If I start bits on paper and pen I always transcribe them into Microsoft Word for Mac, then edit, re-write and catalog them into folders. A lot of writing involves sitting down at the computer and figuring out what went wrong. I like to stay inspired by listening to music. Like most people I've jumped onto the streaming music bandwagon and my service of choice has been Rdio. From what I hear, they treat artists better when it comes to royalties. Also, their interface is album friendly, instead of playlist-oriented. I'm an album guy, through and through.

What would be your dream setup?

My dream setup would be a home office complete with a 2TB hard drive MacBook Air (doesn't exist but it should) so I never have to worry about space again. That would sit on a large, vintage rosewood or walnut desk with some kind of old wooden swivel chair with arm rests. There would be a record player and some nice speakers, as well as a set up for digital music files. The final piece would be an Eames chair, for reading and writing in a more relaxed position.
 Lane Moore 2014-11-11T00:00:00Z http://lane.moore.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm a stand-up comedian, filmmaker, actor, writer/editor, and musician. I write for places like The Onion, McSweeney's, Cosmopolitan, Someecards, I'm a commentator on VH1, MTV, Huffington Post Live talking head shows, and I'm a former editor for Jezebel. I'm the creator, producer, writer, director, music composer and star of comedy web series Gold Stars. Season 2 is currently in pre-production and if you'd like to give us money please give us money.

I'm also the producer and host of the monthly Tinder Live! comedy variety show in NYC, producer and host of podcast, Are You Afraid Of The Snark?, which is a thing where myself and comedians and writers from The Onion, The Colbert Report, VH1, MTV, and even former cast members themselves join in mocking the 1990′s Nickelodeon TV show Are You Afraid Of The Dark? in the form of a podcast. Listeners can then sync up the running commentary track with each episode. It is the greatest.

I also tweet a lot.

What hardware do you use?

For my Tinder Live shows, I use an iPad hooked up to a weirdo cable hooked up to a projector and all of this happens atop a rickety ladder. It's pretty interesting to watch. I have a MacBook Pro that, while only a year old, does not move as quickly as I'd like it to. I use that for everything I do.

For my Are You Afraid Of The Snark? podcast, we use a series of microphones that are not mine and use a splitter to connect 4 sets of headphones to the sound from my roommate's television that is an actual television and not a computer that plays TV shows and basically sit around on my couch making jokes while it streams live.

For my band, It Was Romance, I have a Shure 58A microphone that I hook up to a preamp that goes into my computer which goes into GarageBand. I have a Marshall mini amp that is much louder than its size would indicate and I have two electric ukuleles that I hook up to Boss distortion pedals and a Big Muff pedal. I also have a red bass guitar, a mini accordion, a 1960s xylophone, a toy piano, and some good headphones, but I feel like there are way better headphones out there. I'm obsessed with the idea of finding the perfect headphones.

And what software?

I know everyone I talk to uses Microsoft Word but my copy of it stopped working ages ago and I hate opening up documents so I just write everything in Gmail drafts. Not even in Google Docs. Just in email drafts. I had no idea this was super weird until a fellow comedy writer friend saw me do that and literally said, "Whoa" like it was otherworldly.

I use Final Cut to edit the web series, GarageBand to edit music (even though I've heard Logic is 4 million times better), and I use simple websites to create my show flyers, which I think actually look really professional.

What would be your dream setup?

An actual recording, filming, and editing studio. Really just a pile of money would be cool. I do so many DIY/low budget things and it'll be really neat to see and hear what I can do once I get really great equipment. I'm excited for that.
 Brandon Lucia 2014-11-06T00:00:00Z http://brandon.lucia.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

My name is Brandon Lucia. I am currently a researcher at Microsoft Research and, starting in November 2014, I am transitioning to a new job as an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I got my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington in 2013.

I do research on computer architecture. Computer architecture is the branch of computer science that defines the boundary between hardware and software. Computer architects figure out how to organize the parts of the computer (like the memory, interconnection network, processors, etc) so that computers are fast, energy efficient, reliable, and programmable. I am particularly interested in concurrency and parallel computer systems. Recently, I've started investigating computer architectures for systems that harvest energy from their environment (like solar, RF, wind, vibration, etc).

I am also a founding member of the band netcat with David Balatero and Andrew Olmstead. We play music that combines conventional instruments (drums & cello) with electronic instruments (synthesizers, effects) and lots of custom music creation software that we wrote. With our label Table and Chairs, we just released our album 'Cycles Per Instruction' on cassette, digital, and as a functioning, loadable Linux kernel module.

What hardware do you use?

For research, I am pretty simple. I use a MacBook Pro with an 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB of 1GHz DDR3 memory, a 256GB spinning platters, non-solid state harddrive, and a 13 inch screen. For my energy harvesting research, I hack on embedded devices - mainly the TI MSP430FR5969 MCU on either the TS430RGZ-48C project board or the UW WISP5 prototype board. To harvest RF energy, I use a P2110 Powerharvester component, or the WISP5 custom-built energy harvester. With those, I also use various breadboards and individual components. I have occasionally used Arduino. I have a Parallella board that I can't wait to turn into something neat when I find the time.

For netcat, there's more gear. I use my research laptop, but also another, older MacBook Pro with a 1.8GHz CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB hard drive. Most of my signals are generated by the laptops. Downstream from the laptops are a Boss SP-505 "Groove Sampling Workstation" that I use as a volume knob, effects processor, and very rarely a sampler and an Electro-Harmonix Cathedral Stereo Reverb that I usually run mono signal into. I have a piece of junk Behringer mixer that I occasionally use when I have more than 2 inputs. I have a Roland GAIA SH-01 synthsizer and an Akai MPK mini USB keyboard that I use occasionally during sets. I also use two really bright bike lights and my Samsung Galaxy S5 (in strobe light mode). I'll explain why in a sec.

And what software?

For research, again, pretty simple. I have basic needs. I am always using my Mac, so by default, I use what is available on OS X. I browse the web with Chrome (mainly pinned to Gmail + Google Calendar). I read PDFs with Preview. I usually use Grooveshark to listen to music. I prefer to do everything else in a console window. I edit text with vim. Most of my writing is in LaTex markup. I use pdfTeX from the TeX Live 2012 distribution. LaTex is a pain in the ass, but also makes things look beautiful, so I have a pretty love-hate relationship with it. To make the figures that go in my papers, I use OmniGraffle, which rules for line art. I make slides for talks in Keynote and I have a really hard time using PowerPoint -- not because it's bad, just because it's different enough to be confusing.

For programming, I'm also pretty console-focused. I prefer the 'make' buildchain. I was a longtime GCC user, but I've recently started using LLVM because I was doing some research that needed compiler support and building it to work with LLVM/Clang was much easier than for GCC. Either is OK, but I think LLVM is getting ahead of GCC a little bit. I have used Cmake for build configurations a few times and it works great. I often have to do hardware simulations. For that I have successfully used Pin, which is a dynamic binary instrumentation system. For embedded development, I have used mspgcc + MSPDebug, which work great when it works. I prefer not to use the TI-sanctioned Eclipse-based IDE.

In netcat, most of the software we use, we wrote. We do use a DAW for some things. I used Audiofile's Rax for a while, but they discontinued it. I still use it, but I really need to switch to something that's not totally unsupported. We use MainStage for some MIDI routing.

The rest is custom software. I made a new kind of musical instrument called the Chango that captures video with the computers camera and uses that signal to create sound. I play this instrument by pointing my camera at a wall and shining my bike lights on the wall to play melodies and harmonies. I also built a generative statistical language model of web text that produces English-sounding gibberish "lyrics" for our music. My friend Tony Fader built another statistical language model that analyzes the sentiment of opinions registered on the web. We use that model to generate pairs of statements with varied sentiment (i.e., one positive, one negative). For both models, we use the OS X 'say' command to generate speech. We have a special network monitoring program that we built. It captures packets with Wireshark. A scripting layer converts the packets to MIDI information and a MIDI interface layer that I built pushes the MIDI info out to a DAW (Rax/Mainstage). I also made a simple audio abstraction and synthesis layer for OS X that I used in a custom, on-off program on one of our tracks to make a sequenced, 128-voice polyphonic synth pad.

What would be your dream setup?

For research, my dream setup would be a really fast MacBook Pro with a slightly larger screen, enough RAM that it never needs to think very hard, and a 4GHz processor. Then, to do experiments that often take a long time, it would be awesome to have a bunch of tricked out servers somewhere -- terabytes of RAM, infinite storage, all that. Those should probably run Linux. For the embedded stuff, I really just want a dufflebag full of WISP5s or P2110's installed on breadboards, with antennas, ready to connect to a fleet of MSP430s. It would be cool to have a stash of Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA/SoC boards, too. I think parallel computers with programmable hardware, like FPGAs, mixed in are going to be a pretty important kind of system in the future.

For the band, I have wanted a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 since my friend Rob bought his. It would be cool to expand my effects rig, too. I'd probably get a high-quality chorus and delay box. Software-wise, I wish I would get off my butt and finish implementing the Chango AudioUnit plugin, so I can use the Chango in a DAW. Other than that, I just need a white wall and a room dark enough to play the Chango without ambient light interference.
 Jeffrey Brodsky 2014-11-04T00:00:00Z http://jeffrey.brodsky.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

I'm Jeffrey Brodsky. I make electronic music, dance music, pop music, music for television and commercials, and play drums in the bands YACHT and RAC.

What hardware do you use?

I use a 27" iMac for recording all my music through an Apogee Duet jamming on a Roland Juno-106 and I recently got a Moog Voyager which I'm in love with. I also record with lots of little toys and other synths like the Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano, the Korg volca bass and the Korg monotron DELAY, which is an amazing way to make any super clean, crop, boring, sound like a broken dusty piece of vintage electronics.

I also record a lot with my 4th generation iPad because there are so many killer synth and music apps out there. I do my playback through the KRK ROKIT 6s which sound pretty good for the price. I'll play any old drum kit but my favorite cymbals are the Istanbul 70s and the Zildjian 14" K hihats.

And what software?

Ableton Live is the centerpiece of my music production life, but I couldn't do what I do without the Arturia suite of plugins, or a bunch of amazing Kontakt plugins like the AbbeyRoad drums.

Also, like I said, there are some epic iPad apps that I love like Korg Gadget, TweakyBeat, SeekBeats, DM1, Magellan, and Animoog. I also recently made a song I'm pretty excited about using the John Cage App.

What would be your dream setup?

Nothing too fancy, just something where everything is always wired up and ready to go. That way you don't have to trouble shoot the vocal mic, or pull out another cable to record a synth, or mic up a drum kit through a mixer and then do a stereo mix down into a two-input audio interface, etc.

I would love it if everything were always ready to go so that, when inspirations strikes, I can just hit record and capture all the good ideas.
 Kim Boekbinder 2014-10-30T00:00:00Z http://kim.boekbinder.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

I am Kim Boekbinder, musician, artist, iconoclast. I write, record, and release a lot of music. I also write essays and prose, make visual art, DJ, and perform live shows. Lately I've been composing soundtracks for games, audiobooks, and films.

What hardware do you use?

On a daily basis to get things done I use an 8x5 Moleskine plain unlined notebook and whatever nice pen I can get my hands on to make notes, lists of things to do, sketch out essays, jot down song lyrics, and plan world domination (even though world domination is so 2008.) I also use my iPhone 4S and my 15" MacBook Pro for the emailing, social networking, graphic design, writing of essays, booking of shows and recording of music.

I play an Epiphone Alleykat guitar which is a great guitar, semi-hollow body, narrow neck, well balanced, amazing tone, a dream to play, and it's sexy as hell. The Alleykat has amazing range, which is good for me because I play everything from quiet acoustic to loud rock. I haven't ventured into metal or rap yet but the day is still young.

My amazing boyfriend went out for coffee one morning and came back home with two amps for me: a Peavey practice amp for the keyboards and a Fender Acoustisonic for the guitar. I'm new to the world of amp ownership because I've been too nomadic to own anything I couldn't fit in a suitcase, but now that I've got two amps I can tell I'm going to have 10... 20... 100... how many amps is enough?

For years I've been using the Digitech Genesis3 amp modeler which has been great, it's got huge range and, though digital, it's really good at modeling all kinds of analogue amps and pedal effects, from fuzz to wah to reverb/delay. It also has the handy headphone output so I can practice electric guitar as loudly as I want and I'm the only one who hears it. Nothing compares to the physicality of cranking an actual amp though, feeling the music move through you.

My main synthesizer is a microKorg XL, a great analogue starter synth for someone like me who travels a lot and can't be lugging around an 800 pound instrument everywhere I go. I also use my iPad and a Line6 25-key MIDI keyboard for live shows when I'm traveling really light. The synth apps available for the iPad are epic, they sound so good (more on those in the software section below.)

For drums I've got a Roland Octapad SPD-30. I live-loop everything in performance and it's a great way to make beats with something I can actually hit. Even though my music has become very electronic in the past few years I'm still a very physical person and the act of actually playing an instrument is important to me.

I still use my old Boss RC-50 looping pedal, though some of the functions are starting to go and it'll be time to replace it soon. The pedal has three channels and allows me to create hugely complex loops with parts coming in and out. It's a great live performance and songwriting tool.

I just got a VoiceLive 2 which is a live vocal processing unit with thousands of possible options. I've generally shied away from any vocal processing because I want to sing well, not hide behind auto-tuning or effects, but in the past few years I've been open to exploring more tonal possibilities and the VoiceLive is really fun. It was a gift from a friend and I'm so happy to have it now.

My Bose noise-canceling headphones are my go-tos for recording because they're the best headphones I have. They also greatly improved my quality of life on long-haul flights. I was getting intense migraines on every flight for a little while and thought I might have to stop flying altogether, but the noise-canceling turned out to be migraine-canceling as well. Lucky me.

For demo recording at home I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. A tiny, two channel unit that works perfectly for my home and travel set-up. I can pack my studio up into a single suitcase and head to anywhere on the planet to record new material. If that's not great I don't know what is.

For microphones I use a Shure Beta 58 for live shows and home recordings (really not a great home recording vocal mic, but it's what I have) and an Oktava MK-012 for acoustic instruments (a mildly obscure Russian microphone that mic nerds like to coo over.)

I often record field samples as well and for that I use my iPhone or my ZOOM H1, tiny and powerful.

And what software?

My Mac is still running one of the big cats - the one before Lion. Mountain Lion? Tiger? Snow Cheetah? Meow.

Skype for meetings and international calls and to stay in touch with my long-distance boyfriend/creative partner when he's antipodal.

For recording I often use Audacity, a free, open source, recording program which works great and is very simple. I have Pro Tools, the industry standard, but it's hugely complex and a bit of overkill when all I want to do is play and record a song.

I have the Adobe CS5 creative suite - a gift - which I use nearly every day. Photoshop for almost everything visual I do. Premiere and After Effects for video editing and processing. Illustrator and Dreamweaver get trotted out for exercise every once in a while.

Going through the list of software I use, it's long, but seems mostly standard and boring (Google Drive etc...) so I'm going to skip to the exciting stuff: iPad synth apps!

These apps sound so good, with great stock sounds and the ability to edit quite a lot.

Sunrizer - $10 app that I use the most. It has many synth banks and full edit capabilities.

Animoog - so Moogalicious. Yum yum synth tones.

SoundPrism Pro - which does some neat sound things and extra neat MIDI control things that I never use but intrigue me.

Samplr - an interesting program for sound experimentation and sample bending. I don't use it for live shows but it's fun for recording experimental noise pieces.

Figure - by Propellerhead, super slick and simple. I don't use this very often and never for shows but it does make great beats I've used as the basis for several recordings and it has some wicked synth sounds. It's also a great app for people who don't play music but like to play around from time to time.

Aardvark - a virtual analogue synth with multitouch interface I use for generating noise patterns during live shows.

I upload videos to YouTube. Music goes on Bandcamp - I've been working with them since 2008, they're the best. Twitter is not as vibrant as it once was but it's still an important part of my online presence. I begrudgingly use Facebook.

For my own website I use WordPress and Paid Memberships Pro to run the subscriber part of my website called MISSION CONTROL where fans get access to the songwriting process and downloads of everything I do, even the things that never get released.

What would be your dream setup?

For live shows I'm really happy with what I've got, though I'll need to be replacing the loop pedal soon. Probably with Ableton and Push. At some point I'd also like a Fender twin reverb amp and a few pedals: Fuzz Factory, and the Reuss RSH-02 to start, then every pedal ever.

A million fans. Every show sold out forever and magical and amazing.

A dedicated recording studio in my home with proper soundproofing. A wall of guitar amps. A wall of analogue synths. A Neumann mic for studio vocals. Ludwig drum kit - gold sparkle. Steinway grand piano. 1969 Black Les Paul custom guitar. Hot tub on the roof with a clear view of the city skyline and the sky. Private jet. Hot tub on the private jet.

And world peace - gold sparkle.
 Ming-Zhu Hii 2014-10-28T00:00:00Z http://ming-zhu.hii.usesthis.com/

Who are you, and what do you do?

My name is Ming-Zhu Hii. I am an experimental filmmaker, a director/writer of the odd slightly more mainstream film project, and also an actor. When the equation is perfectly balanced, acting and working as a voiceover artist is my magnificent day job, which supports a lot of my more exploratory filmmaking work. It's this sexy little ecosystem then which I adore.

What hardware do you use?

We come from a live performance background and have only just started shifting into moving image in a big way over the last two years. So at core, it's still a fairly bare-bones setup. I'm married to my creative partner and we shoot all of our absolute no-budget projects at the moment on a Sony A99 with a couple of compact fluoros and LEDs for lighting, and whatever our lighting designer can bring the party; sound-wise we record wild directly into an H4n via our RØDE NTG2 and RØDE Lavalier, with a mix depending entirely on the scale of the project. It's probably time for an upgrade to the kit, but we're waiting until it's absolutely urgent.

Because of sound being such a tricky issue for a 2/3-person crew we've kept with doing a lot of sound in post. A lot of our more significant projects, the design and mix have all been done in post by our sound designer who has a far more articulated studio than we do. He works in live performance and installation mostly, so his take on it is really visceral which I like. We edit off a couple of MacBook Pro Retinas ourselves.

There are a couple of decent data projectors and splitters and other bits and pieces that we use for gallery work. But to be honest, that's not my forte. I just own the gear and hand it over to other people to work out how to use.

We hire in extra bits and pieces for shoots like field monitors, sliders and rigs when and where we need to, but so far have managed to keep things really lean which I like. It means we can move around very easily and are less reliant on raising budgets for experimental work which is important, because there is a certain element of freedom to screw up on the fly, and if you're needing to meet an investors' expectations, there is a greater constriction on playing around and making mistakes - which is of course, ultimately where a lot of the really good stuff comes from. But actually, it looks like we may be working with a dedicated DP for the first time on our next short, which will mean we will do our first hire in of a cinema camera. It's exciting, but I'm quietly terrified.

And what software?

In a nutshell: Celtx in pre, Final Cut Pro X in post on our smaller projects thus far - the simplicity has worked to our advantage not coming from traditional film editing backgrounds, and I've put up with the snooty looks; but I'm finally feeling the need to teach myself how to use Premiere Pro and put the Adobe suite to good use as our projects grow more complex. I'll probably be singing a new tune in a month or so.

If we're sound syncing, on set I sometimes use an iPad app called MovieSlate, which acts as a clapper board and as note-taking and syncing software, but I often just default to a clipboard, legal pad, marker and a manual clap.

In pre-production I start from coffee table art books and magazines to find images and scrapbook like mad before writing a word. I also have leagues of notes and images and resources filed neatly in Evernote. It has made me the most organised I have ever been. I actually don't know how it happened. I write the screenplay itself in Celtx. Usually I'll storyboard manually. Pencils and eraser. I'm a dreadful illustrator. It's stick-figures all-round.

What would be your dream setup?

Honestly, I'd really love someone else to look after both post and pretty much the whole production process for me. I want to be in on developing the project, and then the edit, each step of the way, but it'd be nice to have a proper post-production studio and a great editor and grader on board and to be able to outsource the bits that take my brain away from the actual storytelling. Like feeding the crew, etc.

And of course I'm looking forward to working on shoots where I can get in some really decent cinema cameras and glass; a slightly bigger crew would be great - not huge, but just slightly more easefully bigger. I want to iterate slowly at this stage. Find out what happens if I work with a crew of five instead of three. Incremental shifts towards bigger storytelling. It is an exciting time in the development of my practice. It freaks me out every day - I am enormously anxious about it, but also incredibly exhilarated. There's no denying that.

Follow the giant tapir footprint signs to this rustic lodge, reminiscent of an Adirondacks camp, within hiking distance of the western edge of Corcovado National Park. Kids of all ages will like the cabin-in-the-woods atmosphere, enhanced by creatively designed twig chairs and headboards, twisted-branch windows, and furniture made from tree stumps. The lodge offers accommodations to suit all budgets, from spacious forest cabins to a wheelchair-accessible master suite with
a spacious, semi-open bathroom that's paved with smooth river stones. Breakfast is included, and traditional Costa Rican meals are served in an alfresco restaurant. It's an 8-km hike to the park entrance but the lodge is working on providing transport, via a tractor pulling a cart, to get hikers to the park entrance, especially during rainy season. You can see much of the same wildlife by walking the trails of this 86-acre property.

Clinicobacteriological study of chronic dacryocystitis in adults.
ABSTRACT Chronic dacryocystitis is the inflammation of lacrimal sac, frequently caused by bacteria. Obstruction of nasolacrimal duct converts the lacrimal sac a reservoir of infection. It is a constant threat to cornea and orbital soft tissue. Moreover, it causes social embarrassment due to chronic watering from the eye. This study was conducted to find out the current clinicobacteriological profile of chronic dacryocystitis in adults. A total of 56 adult patients were selected from ophthalmology OPD. Detail history and clinical examinations were carried out. All patients underwent either dacryocystorhinostomy or dacryocystectomy. A part of the sac was collected for culture and sensitivity. This study revealed that chronic dacryocystitis is more common in females and left eye is more frequently involved than right eye. It is common among lower socioeconomic strata with habit of pond-bathing. Some form of nasal pathology like hypertrophied inferior turbinate, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyp and allergic rhinitis werefound in 19.6% of the patients. Complications of chronic dacryocystitis like conjunctivitis, corneal ulcer, acute on chronic dacryocystitis, lacrimal abscess and fistula were seen in 25.0% of these patients; 53.6% of the culture samples were positive for bacterial growth. Gram-positive organisms were most common isolate. Unlike other studies, Staphylococcus aureus (40.0%) was found to be most common Gram-positive organism, followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis (10.0%) and Steptococcus pneumoniae (10.0%). Among the Gram-negative organisms, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.6%) was the most common, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.6%) and Haemophilus influenzae (6.6%). Antibiotic sensitivity tests were done. Most of the organisms were resistant to penicillin. Chloramphenicol was effective against most of the Gram-positive organisms. Aminoglycosides, tobramycin in particular, was effective against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Fluoroquinolones, namely ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT: Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the organisms responsible and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the bacterial isolates from conjunctiva and nasal mucosa in cases of chronic dacryocystitis and comparing with lacrimal sac specimen. Design: Prospective longitudinal study. Methods: A prospective analysis of 44 lacrimal sac contents of patients with chronic dacryocystitis conducted during the period from April 2012 to March 2013. Material was obtained directly from the lacrimal sac while making sac flap during external dacryocystorhinostomy for chronic dacryocystitis. Samples were also collected from ipsilateral conjunctiva and inferior meatus of nose. The specimens were cultured and results analyzed. Statistical Analysis: The results were analyzed by using Chi-square (χ(2)) test. Results: All the patients were in age group of 30 and above. Gram positive bacteria i.e., Coagulase negative staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus were the most common isolates (71% and 14% respectively). Vancomycin, amikacin, 3(rd) generation cephalosporins and amoxyclav were most sensitive antibiotics (100%, 89%, 83%, and 78% respectively). Comparison between lacrimal and nasal/conjunctival isolates showed high degree of identicalness between the isolates of two sites (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Majority of the chronic dacryocystitis cases are caused by Coagulase negative Staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus. Amoxyclav and 3(rd) generation cephalosporins can be used to treat chronic dacryocystitis. Commensal flora of nose and conjunctiva have a direct role in pathogenesis of chronic dacryocystitis.Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR. 11/2013; 7(11):2502-4.

ABSTRACT: Aims: To evaluate a new approach for recanalization (RC) of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in the treatment of the symptomatic nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). Materials and Methods: A prospective, interventional, comparative study in 302 eyes of 209 patients of symptomatic nontraumatic NLDO. Eyes with previous failed surgery were excluded. One hundred and fifty-one eyes underwent RC with 20 G endodiathermy bipolar probe connected to a 7 W diathermy followed by bicanalicular intubation under direct visualization. One hundred and fifty-one eyes underwent standard external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). Follow-up was for 24 months and evaluation was done on basis of change in symptoms and lacrimal syringing. Data was analyzed by Chi-square test and unpaired t-test. P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Success defined as an asymptomatic patient or freely patent syringing was 92.7% (140 eyes) in RC group and 83.44% (126 eyes) in DCR group. Success was significantly more ( P ≤ 0.01) in RC than DCR group. Surgical time was significantly less in RC than DCR ( P ≤ 0.001). In RC group, RC could not be performed in three eyes and had to be later taken up for DCR. Intubation after RC was not achieved in four eyes; however these eyes had a patent pathway till 24 months. Twenty-two eyes had a premature extrusion of the tube; but the success rate in these (20 eyes) was comparable to the others within the group (P > 0.05). Two eyes in RC and one in DCR group had complications. Conclusions: RC with 20 G endodiathermy bipolar probe is a quick, simple, and effective alternative to standard external DCR.Indian Journal of Ophthalmology 11/2013; · 1.02 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Objective. To compare pre- and postoperative characteristics and surgical success rates of patients with and without previous episodes of dacryocystitis, who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). Methods. The medical files of all patients who underwent external DCR between 2006 and 2011 in our institution were reviewed. The retrieved data of patients with and without previous episodes of dacryocystitis were compared. Surgical success was determined by postoperative followup of at least 6 months. Results. A total of 185 patients with NLDO underwent external DCR of whom 152 (100 females and 52 males, mean age 67 ± 15 years) met the inclusion criteria. Sixty had previous episodes of dacryocystitis and 92 did not. Left-side obstruction was more common than right-side obstruction among patients with previous episodes of dacryocystitis (48.3% versus 31.7%, resp., P = 0.031). Glaucoma patients were significantly more likely to develop dacryocystitis than patients without glaucoma (P = 0.002). The success rate of external DCR was 94.4% for patients with previous episodes of dacryocystitis and 86.7% for patients without (P = 0.337). Conclusions. The surgical outcomes of external DCR in patients with or without a previous episode of dacryocystitis were similar. Patients with glaucoma and NLDO had a significantly higher risk of developing dacryocystitis.Journal of Ophthalmology 01/2013; 2013:287524. · 1.37 Impact Factor

and conspicuous symptoms it may cause, partly
because it has little tendency to resolve. This
study was carried out in RIO Guwahati with the
objectives of: 1) Identifying the causative bacteria,
2) Studying the antibiotic sensitivity of these
bacterias to commonly used antibiotics and 3)
occupation and socioeconomic status.
Materials and Methods
Sixty cases of clinically established chronic
Dacryocystitis, who attended and were treated in
RIO, GMCH during the period from July 2008 to
June 2009 were selected for this study. Cases that
did not use any antibiotic drop previously or
stopped using antibiotic eye drop at least one
week before attending the hospital were taken for
this study irrespective of age, sex, occupation and
social status. Sterile swab sticks were used for
collection of regurgitated material. For bacterial
1. Stain – Gram's Stain, KOH (10%).
2. Culture medium – Blood Agar, Mc Conky`s
Agar, Nutrient Agar, Chocolate Agar were used.
Three swabs were collected at a time. First for the
KOH smear, second for the Gram staining and
hronic Dacryocystitis is an unpleasant
disease, partly because of the troublesome
last swab for culture in medias. Swabs were sent
to Microbiology department for study.
Different results were observed in this study.

and Ampicillin. Overall sensitivity testing shows
that most effective antibiotic against all bacteria is
ciprofloxacin (80.76%) followed by Gatifloxacin
(46.15%), Chloramphenicol (42.30%), Tetracyclin
(59.61%), Ampicillin
(44.23%), and Cloxacillin (32.69%).
The observations made in this study was more or
less similar to those of other previous authors. In
our study of 60 cases maximum number of
patients were in the 4th decade (23.33%) followed
by 5th decade (21.66%) & 3rd decade (20%) of
life. Sood et al 1 in 1967 and Visootr Chayakul et
al 2 in 1984 reported similar result. In this study
females 76.66 %( 46) were affected more than the
males 23.33 % ( 14). Duke-Elder (1974) 3 and
Trevor Roper et al 4 in 1974 made the similar
observation. The incidence of dacryocystitis was
more among housewives (63.33%) in our study.
Similar result was observed by Duke-Elder (1974)
3. Regarding social status our observation of
class(78.33%) was similar to that of Duke-
Elder(1974) 3 and Visootr Chayakul et al 2 in
observation was similar to Khurana AK 5 in 1996.
Predominant organism in our study was
Staphylococcus aureus (28.33%) followed by
Streptococcus pneumoniae (23.33%). Similar
results were stated by Prasad et al 6 (1958), Sood
et al 1 (1967) & D.V.Seal et al 7 (1982). While
examining the sensitivity test we found that the
most sensitive antibiotics were Ciprofloxacin
(69.23%), Gentamycin (67.30) & Tobramycin
(61.5%). Similar results were observed by Seal
D.V.et al 7 in 1982, Jain M.R. 8 in 1992 and
Mahajan VM et al 9 in 1987.
We conclude by saying that the present study
tried to find out the commonly involved
causative organism in chronic dacryocystitis and
helped to treat the patients with proper
antibiotics. It also studied local and general
predisposing factors causing dacryocystitis.

As Nebraska gets ready for a license plate makeover, Iowa is considering keeping its current look awhile longer.
Instead of issuing new tags, which would cost taxpayers $11 million, officials are considering extending the life of the current plates by increasing the pool of letter-number combinations.
Mark Lowe of the Iowa Department of Transportation says a decision will likely be made this summer. Iowa's current plates were issued in 1996, but the design process started three years earlier.
Iowa has about 4.1 million licensed vehicles on the road. Lowe says the current system of three numbers and three letters should be good through 2012.
Iowa offers more than four dozen varieties of tags with themes ranging from the military to breast cancer to colleges and universities.

When I was 11, I saw the trailer for Chasing Amy. I don't remember why it caught my attention—I didn't recognize the actors, and I don't think I consciously knew what it was about. It certainly wasn't targeted toward 11-year-olds, so I'm not even sure where I saw the ad. But something in my gut told me that this was a movie I needed to see. It was the first time I experienced such a strong, immediate response to a movie, let alone a trailer.
Allow me a moment of nostalgia—the late 1990s and early 2000s were excellent eras for teen dramas on network television. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Freaks and Geeks were particular favorites of mine at the time, but most of the teen shows that aired around then—particularly those on the now-defunct WB—had their moments. One show I remember occasionally watching was The O.C., and what I remember most about it was the controversy surrounding a particular story arc—Marissa's bisexuality.
"I learn that black people don't have blue eyes. I learn that I am black. I have blue eyes. I put all these new facts into the new girl."
Even though the tone of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky reads like a young adult novel, told simply from the point of view of the characters--a young boy fascinated by birds, an immigrant mother, Rachel, the young protagonist--the book itself is drenched in disturbing realities and complex subjects, including race and identity.

On May 8th a the Marriott Courtyard Kansas City at Briarcliff, attendees learned about "Big Data." Our presenter was Donny Neufuss of Sonic Foundry, who showed examples of how to use "Big Data" to improve your meeting.
Donny explained that many meetings—yours included—have analytics already that you can study and act on that can hone and personalize your attendee's experience.
A standard-setting meeting for this concept is Cisco Live—a premier event for IT professionals worldwide. Here are the factors that Cisco Live analyzes to up the ante every year for their meeting attendees and create a more personal experience:
These are just some of the ways that data helps shape future content. Are you taking advantage of all your meeting analytics to make a better experience for your attendees?
You've heard plenty of reasons why more attendees may start booking Airbnb accommodations. Now, find out why the lodging alternative simply cannot keep up with the hotel industry.

What Is The Long Time Effect Of Herpes
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Herpes Simplex (Cold Sores and Genital Herpes)What Is Herpes? Herpes simplex refers to a group of viruses that infect humans. Like herpes zoster (shingles, see Fact Sheet 509 ), herpes simplex causes painful skin eruptions. Itching and tingling are usually the first signs, followed by a blister that breaks open. The infection stays dormant in nerve cells. This is called "latency." However, it can become active again with no warning. Herpes can be active without symptoms or visible signs....
