Which headphones did you get? (I am still looking for good ones. I returned the ridiculously painful Sennheisers.)

Kinesis: :::link:::
I love it. I bought one for home and one for work. They are very expensive, but less expensive than not being able to work due to joint damage.
As a bonus, I now know how to touch type every symbol on the keyboard, since you don't have to move/contort your fingers much, it's easy to reach them.
The modifier keys (command, alt, etc) plus backspace & delete are all in the middle, along with the space bar and enter key -- that way your pinkies aren't over-worked.

APC40Category: music
So this is my first attempt at assembling a song using the APC40 with Ableton Live. I sampled the sounds in the song, or used existing small loops and applied filters, so the actual instrumental/melody/beats are definitely not mine.
The bits laid out look like this:

And I've been using Ableton Live for about a month now, maybe 20 hours total? The APC40 controller is new though - this is the first song w/ the controller but I did make a couple others with Ableton before this.
Next, now that I have Ableton down, is to use Reason and a keyboard to create some of the elements instead of relying on existing source material.

ha, hahahahha ha.
Wow.
I have to say- that makes me feel so much better, b/c I know I've sent some impulsive emails/texts before that I've regretted and thought were a little crazy- but never anything CLOSE to that psycho.
haha. wow.
I've had a communication breakdown before, but not like this. Wow. If my girl fucked some dude because she was clueless about a vacation? I would never forgive her. Wow. Funny vid.
Oh man, that was awesome.
