Now on to Google Waves.
If you have an hour, this video will explain everything and get you hyped.

It doesn’t answer every question but you can check out a bunch of ideas in the suggestion section HERE

If you don’t have time for that……
What is a wave?

A wave is equal parts conversation and document. People can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.

A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

It kind of looks like Seesmic Desktop. I’ll wait to get invited and keep you updated!

Accordio
Living Transient Ltd.
Category: Music
Price: $3.99

Application description
Play fast! Learn fast. Accordio is designed to be responsive and enjoyable. Low latency playback easily keeps up with a professional musician. It’s got to be seen to be believed. Check out the short videos on our web site or YouTube.

It’s surprisingly easy to learn how to play. Thanks to the symmetrical button layout, when you learn to play a C major chord, you can play all other major chords. Just move your hand around. Key names are displayed over the buttons to get you started.

Accordio implements the melody side of a 5-row chromatic button accordion and supports common layouts (B,C,G). You can play along to songs from your music library. Remember to turn off the silent switch.

All these and more for your downloading pleasure at
http://appulo.us

This first site www.jingproject.com is so ingenious. Three very simple steps to get going, and it’s a downloadable application. Simply:
* Snap a picture of your screen.
* Record video of onscreen action.
* Share instantly over the web, IM, email.
As the site says it’s free software that adds visuals to your online conversations. This comes in handy when you want to show your homie how to quantize something using FX Pansion Guru or introduce your friends to your process of making a flyer (hint hint). You can record your video and upload it to your flickr account, upload using an ftp server, save it, or copy it to your clipboard to share some where else.
Here’s a screen shot of the program running on my mac:

That’s right is sits quiet in the top corner of your screen. Very unintrusive, indeed simple is beautiful!

The company that makes this www.techsmith.com also makes other screen capturing tools like SnagIt and Camtasia which offer, for a fee, more editing options for those folks that make a ‘living’ off of posting video tutuorials, thank you so much by the way for that.

This next site i found looking through the hundreds of informative posts on www.readwriteweb.com which itself is very handy and should be added to you RSS feeds. The site is still in Beta meaning you have to be invited to use, so I actually haven’t been able to try it out yet although I’m pretty excited about it. The site: www.rockdex.com. I really can’t explain it better than the actual site does so in quotes:
What is RockDex Pro?

Drill down into your data to discover trends, gauge the effectiveness of your marketing, and find out what your fans are saying–and where they are saying it. RockDex Pro helps you capitalize on a valuable and too often overlooked asset: Your Data. Plug in and sign up now!

Although when you go to sign up it informs you of the very sad fact that it’s in Beta. It does offer a glimpse of hope however, saying it will send you an invite code! This looks like a useful tool for Artists, Labels, Managers, Booking Agents, A&R Reps and Publicists. The folks that made this also made www.musicarsenal.com.
Here are screenshots from the video on their site:


And you can upload a song to their soundcloud account and they’ll let you know if you rock!

Lastly, for today, CargoCollective.com. This is from their site:
Cargo is a web publishing (CMS) and community-building platform currently in development. It powers a variety of creative communities in the fields of Education, Design, Research, and Conceptual Art. To apply for an account contact us here.
Cargo evolved out of the system that runs the SpaceCollective community. We found it remarkably successful and efficient in creating visual content on the web, placing a strong emphasis on design, layout, image quality and typography. Our goal is to dramatically increase the accessibility and exposure of creative individuals on the Internet, while aspiring to build a networked context that will contribute to the culture as a whole.

Like the previous site it is in Beta or as they call it ‘pre-release’ which looks like it means, if we think you’re good enough we might hook you up with an account. I like their taste though so good job.
Let me just hit you with some images then you go scroll the illness!

cee oh too grip tape

cee oh too graphics

Peligrosa graphics

Texas board

I can’t show you all of my designs because this isn’t a porn site if you catch my drift.
Here’s a someone else’s video, I plan to create one myself with a new remix so stay tuned.

And speaking of the iphone, the ingenious folks at apple just announced a new iphone today. Read More.
They also unveiled Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Read More.

First up
www.itouchmidi.com
They make a series of products (ITM Keys, ITM Matrix, ITM Pad, ITM MCU, iTM DJ) all downloadable from the apple store from your phone. After installing that you need to install software from their site that enable you to create the networking I was talking about earlier. I’ll post videos below.

The good thing about matrix is you can create your own interface, up to 8 by 8, change the colors of the buttoms and add text to all of them.

i3L (pronounced “i thrill”)

http://thrill.artificialeyes.tv/i3L

Freeware music controller app, developed using Max/MSP from Cycling74 and is a support application for akaRemote (iPhone native application) by Masayuki Akamatsu.

This is your phone.

This is your computer.

I’ll just make it three although there are probably about a dozen out there by now. The last one I’m mentioning is a little more that just a midi controller. Using Cocoa programming and some other code it allows multiple users interact with one program. It’s complicated and i’m still working out the kinks.

MRMR
http://poly.share.dj/projects/#mrmr
Mrmr is an ongoing open-source research project to develop a standardized set of protocols and syntax conventions to control live installations and multimedia performances via mobile devices, plus you’re in control of your interface. I made a couple last night for serato I might unveil tonight.


Here’s a video explaining better,

Two good remotes to add.
Cubase RC
Protools and Logic

That’s it on that. Come out to 90s night tonight if you can handle it.
