Meditation Timer



Just passing on the link to a freeware app I released today, Meditation Timer. There was a post on the blog sometime back, but as the comment thread is closed I thought I'd post it here. Enjoy

Okay, i agree--it's kinda dumb to have an 10 minute mp3 that's mostly silence, BUT BUT BUT it's nice, actually, to have it on my ipod for traveling. just thought i'd say.

It would make more sense if it were VBR-encoded, so that the silence wouldn't take up any disk space.

I've been wanting to write a meditation timer app for Gnome, but it's pretty far down my priorities list. Does this program just play the given end sound after a given amount of time? I was wanting to do something that would do things a little more complex, along the lines of generating sounds like the Zencast meditation timers in arbitrary lengths.

Let me say also that your Meditation Timer icon is very nice.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
