Bad news everyone…… I think brettdriscoll.com as you know it is pretty much done. I really ran out of steam last summer with blogging. I began to wonder why I even was writing this stuff in the first place, and if anyone actually cared. So I have decided I need a change. The sites content will remain up, because believe it or not I still do get a lot of traffic from people looking for certain things (which means money in my pocket lol).
When I am finished with other projects, I will revamp this site into a brettdriscoll.com landing site of sorts, with pictures, links, and general information.
Now for the good news……… I haven’t stopped blogging! Anyone who knows me, knows I love music, guitar, writing and recording. I have been working on recording an album for the past year now, and have loads of things I can talk about. SOOOO I started a blog at www.lowstring.com to discuss such topics! THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL BLOG, I repeat THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL BLOG…. so if you want to know about my weekend you will just have to send me an email lol. I just thought it might be interesting to chronical the making of an “album” and everything I learn along the way. The site will also feature reviews of products I have purchased (no I am not getting paid for them), as well as concert reviews.
So, feel free to check out the new site, drop me a line, or stick around here while this site is still up!

I have been getting some emails on how to integrate Cruiser into K2. I did not really set out to make a gallery that would drop into a K2 themed wordpress install but after making a few changes I have come up with an easy way for you K2 users to incorporate the gallery into your site. First of if you have already downloaded Cruiser, you will need to download the new K2 ready Cruiser here.

I am going to start a series of posts on audio recording, mainly for my own benefit, but also for people out there who might benefit as well (Sweens).
This first post will cover the basics of computer based audio recording. Whether you are recording a podcast or a full band, the principals are the same; sound waves are captured/generated by a microphone/instrument and then travel to a audio to digital converter, this converter converts the audio waves to a string of ones and zeros and then your recording sequencer of choice records and stores this data on your computer. This is about as basic as one can describe this process, and in reality it isn’t much more complicated than that.

As I predicted I did not get accepted into the 9rules network. I am a little bummed but not mad. I started this blog for one reason; to keep friends and family members up to date with my life. For the most part the site has served that purpose, and I’m not going to turn this site into something it is not, writing solely about the web, design, or anything else. This is a “personal” blog.
I do wonder how they select sites for the 9rules network though. According to mint, whoever came to visit my site from the 9rules team, visited for about 2-3 minutes. I have been “blogging” for almost a year and a half, so it is impossible to go through that much content in 2-3 minutes! Anyways, I am glad derek made it in, he deserves it. I can’t believe that kristin wasn’t picked though!!
