gentoo mp3 tag editor
PoeticIntensity
I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a good console-based mp3 tag editor in gentoo, and was surprisingly fruitless in doing so.
After using the wonderful "equery belongs" command tied to an editor I use on my server (but couldn't remember where it came from), the program mp3blaster came up.
Although mp3blaster claims to just be an m...

New Studio Acoustics!
AudioGuru
Okay... So, since I began this journey of becoming a better recording engineer, I knew there was a lot to learn. I have a degree in Digital Media with an emphasis on audio recording, and thanks to a great teacher, Mike Wizland, I quickly began to get a good grasp on the basics.
The early success of the studio has enabled me to get a few great m...

3 Nephi : 11
PoeticIntensity
I've often wondered what the significance is behind them not understanding God's words the first 2 times. What immediately comes to mind as I ponder this, is the angel Moroni speaking to Joseph Smith 3 times, repeating the exact same message, added upon, each time... But Joseph understood Moroni's words each time. I can't think of...

Last week, PoeticIntensity decided to join us again, with an interesting concept. He had spent the previous evening playing some chords, and decided to make a song out of it that evening. So we spent an hour coming up with the concept, and another 2 hours tracking it. We then spent a few more minutes mixing it down until it sounde...

3 Nephi : 9 & 10
PoeticIntensity
All I've gotta say is - don't get on the wrong side of God. The wrath of God shown in chapter 9 really is quite astounding.
Then, in chapter 10, it's almost as if God's words were pleading to the people... Almost as if God were remorseful of the things He had to do... Claiming, "If ye only had kept my commandments, these th...

3 Nephi : 8
PoeticIntensity
The most striking point of this chapter, this time, was the description of the darkness which covered the land after the storm. I've never thought about the darkness as an analogy of Christ's absence. The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes.
We know death as being a type of prison due to the body and the soul being separated...

PoeticIntensity
It's chapters like these that get me thinking about the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ and the "end of the world". Reason is, is that this chapter happens just a few years before the 1st coming of Christ. For some reason I analyze these chapters to death, and each time I do, I find more things that seem to parallel what may (or ma...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
We believe other lands had visits from Christ.
They saw signs in the heavens, they knew His name.
He taught them, they felt His wounds, He dried their eyes.
The Book of Mormon testifies that He came.
We're Christians otherwise nicknamed “The Mormons”.
