    whiteboard as a songwriting tool?

    I just tripped across this “WriteBoard” thing yesterday, thinking it could be like a chat where the screen was live. I was goofing with it and Jimmie and Maggie and John Unger came in after I invited them and suddenly I could see that it’s a different animal from what I expected. It’s all free and you can make as many as you want, one for every project. Check this one out, the password is amphicar. I’m bringing it to your attention because it could be a great songwriting tool. For several reasons but mainly because it saves all your revisions like layers of skin on a onion. You can try wild ideas because you can peel them back instantly, If you’ve taken it a new way and it starts to feel like a wrong turn you just go back to that crossroad and turn the other way. It even gives a URL to each revision and each comparison of revisions. Here’s one to see how it looks. Green is what has been added and the old gets struck through.

    as far as I can make out, this girl sitting on the scooter in one of these photos, hunts down ghost towns. That’s a guess. Why would this amazing old village be abandoned? I wonder if somebody could buy it for the back taxes? :)

    As I remember this was when I had first met Mary. . . .

    Her little ‘59 electric green Volkswagen bug blew an engine in New Braunfels on a planned trip to Mexico for Christmas shopping. She had come from Houston to leave Billy at a summer camp in Kerrville and She and Kathy,Cody, Alan and Doug were now stranded. I came to the rescue with a blue ‘61 Valient I had just bought at the Auction. My second in command gang leader liked the idea and went with them.

    Leslie you can tell the rest. . . . .

    A Clue to our Spiritual Side. . .

    July 25th, 2007 @ 02:22
    Posted by: John Whipple Sr.

    To study our lessons here you will need to familiarize yourself with these 4 levels of healing.

    google beta healing, alpha healing, theta healing, and delta healing.

    Locked away in the mysteries of “Theta” our neglected spiritual repair station we visit every night when we sleep are the answers to the questions we have when we see news articles like the one below. We don’t have it all together yet. . . .but at least we know where to look.

    Steroids were discovered in the 1930’s and that has not been really that long ago. First thinking we had discovered a product that could change the world we are now learning that we already had it’s benefits and in the right proportions through our own natural healing system.

    It’s misuse is kinda like DDT that was far worse than anything good it could do. Thank God we figured that one out!

    You can’t improve much on God’s designed plan when it comes to his machinery. . . . .just learn to run it better.

    Here’s a text to speech player for the comment’s RSS feed

    July 24th, 2007 @ 14:54
    Posted by: John

    because it is pulling from a live feed, new comments should show up here and push old ones out, it will probably show the most recent ten or fifteen. Or something like that. So if you want to hear some silliness read by the “coming to a theater near you” voice, make and comment anywhere on the blog and it will pop up in this window next to a play button. And…… have a beautiful day.

    This is a step even further. Crazy.

    Just click the blue play button to have a post read to you. Makes you wonder just how far away we are from talking computers. This isn’t the best sounding text to speech but it is pretty cool because it does each post from a whole website on the fly.
