Is it just me or does Keith sound like he's giving an ultimate retaliation speech to his parents when he goes on his rants. Enjoyable though.

Navy Seals Killed in Afghanistan

Tragic.
Reminds me of the beaches of Normandy during WWII. This is probably why I didn't sign up for the armed forces. All it takes is a rocket launcher and one single Taliban member.

The beauty of teaching, exploiting the imagination
When you teach something to someone in any field, you control the dynamic. You steer the course. You limit their scope of view.
This can be especially effective in music. Assuming one's imaginative capability is X, however that is measured. Given enough tools, the imagination will likely spread out to several tools due to their drive of curiosity. When you limit those tools, the imagination will utilize them to their fullest and given proper recording and rendering capabilities, will replace his or her curiosity with emotion and that is where the musical roots derive.
So, if I were to design a course in music, I would spend the first few weeks with the most simplest of tools and let the emotions drive the music. Let the student explore his or her intent before the surge of professional editing intertwines.
The order for learning about music technology should be first to capture the student's mind and then to enhance the ideas through tools. Thas all I be sayin'

Mobile Music Applications
The problem: Music is instantaneous. The ability to play just the right record at the right time leaves a mark on the social scene. The user needs the flexibility to switch from one mix to the next mix without losing any vibes.. Seemless mixing techniques, which can be performed through other non-mobile DJ applications work for party-like venues but there is no mobile mixing device. START ONE.
