 Standard Podcast: Play Now | Play in Popup

Tonight I made the ultimate discovery: I can write music at Spill the Beans (my favorite ice cream shop, indisputably).  This is thanks to my wonderful new MacBook, standard-equipped with GarageBand and an ergonomically friendly keypad that doubles amazingly well as a piano keyboard.

I literally spent about 10 minutes from start to finish on this song clip, including opening the application, playing in the parts, and exporting the mp3.  And yes, it sounds admittedly cheesy.  But once I find time to port some of my more legit-sounding symphonic instruments into GarageBand, I’ll be in business.  And probably 15 pounds heavier if I’m not careful.
