Now we have a new way to join our e-mail list (and street team if you like) through the Reverbnation website. Just enter your e-mail below (we won’t sell it to anyone, or even rent it) and we will be in touch about where you are, so we can let you know about shows near you. Or, if you’d rather, just send us a note at our shared orangemightytrio e-mail.

The “enter” key

In the quest for keyboard shortcuts, I’ve been finding some uses for the enter key…

In Garageband, it puts you at the beginning of the tune. Same in Quicktime.

It’s also very useful in Finder because it makes you jump into to the name of the file and highlights it, so you can type a new one quick, or edit an old one more quickly. I used to have to click on the file name and wait a second, but no more.

Robot Voice

I’ve been looking for a robot voice for my SONG BLOG and I thought the only good option I could find was at http://www.cepstral.com/demos/ which is a nice program but only free for non-commercial use.

Today, Apple posted a link to Verbalize, which allows you to type in stuff and your Mac’s built-in voices will say it. It’s very cool. I may soon have a robot announcer.
