# Media

 These are things I've made that aren't either writing or software,
yet are downloadable.  I'm pretty hopeless with both music and art,
but I'm mostly okay at crafts.  These things are basically the
electronic equivalent of crafts.



## Sound

Sounds I've recorded, mixed, or whatever.

<h3><a id="zenalarm">Zen Alarm Clock</a></h3>


  For some time, I've wanted one of those "Zen Alarm Clocks," the
  kind that instead of waking you up with an annoying buzzer or
  (worse) NPR, plays a series of tones that gradually increases in
  frequency until you wake up.  But if you do a quick search of <a
  href="http://froogle.google.com/">Froogle</a>, you'll see that
  those things aren't exactly cheap, so I've written one for the
  computer.

 The chime sound is from the <a
 href="http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/">Freesound Project.</a> It is a
 Tibetan Singing Bowl being struck once with a wooden mallet.  <a
 href="/files/zen-alarm-attribution.txt"> Full attribution here.</a> What I
 have done is make a larger sound file that repeats this chime at
 decreasing intervals based on the golden mean.  You can use cron or
 your scheduling software of choice to play it when you want to wake
 up, or you can record it to CD or tape and play it on a suitable
 clock radio.  I have a script to turn up the volume on my computer
 and play it so I can hear it from the next room.



<h2>Other</h2>


Things that are not sound, images, or video, but aren't writing,
either.
