Since obtaining “the new iPad” (what is with the name ambiguity?) I immediately downloaded the newest version of GarageBand for iPad, and was blown away by the UI and UX of the app.

Currently I live out in Vienna, VA which means that in order to get to HelloWallet, I have to ride the DC Metro for about 35 minutes every day.  During such a lull in my daily routine, I quickly found that composing music in GarageBand was a great way to make the trip go by faster.  I then thought, just for fun, I would limit the time I had to compose to how long the metro ride took.

That was about 2 months ago, and since then I have recorded about 20 really quick tracks.  I am finally just putting them up on my blog to share, just to show the power of having a mobile studio and some dedicated time to play around.

Some of these tracks suck, but hey…why not share them anyway.  Also, they are not listed in any kind of logical order.  Enjoy!

So since I have a band, Presto Bando, we very frequently send out Facebook invites to all our friends to come out to our shows.

There used to be a great code out there that would automatically select ALL of your facebook friends when you wish to invite friends to a particular event.  Facebook recently got around that trick, so I decided to try my hand at writing my own.

Presenting: The Invite All Code 2012 for Facebook

Copy and paste the following code in your browser address bar when you have the “Invite Friends” dialogue box open to select all of your friends!

javascript: var inviteAll=function(){var a=document.getElementsByClassName(“checkableListItem”);for(var b=0;b<a.length;b++){var c=a[b],d=document.createEvent("MouseEvents");d.initMouseEvent("click",!0,!0,window,0,0,0,0,0,!1,!1,!1,!1,0,null),c.dispatchEvent(d)}};inviteAll()

NOTE : First scroll all the way down to the bottom of your friends list before running this code, since Facebook dynamically inserts more friends when you get to the end of the list.

What ya’ll think? I rarely get the chance to update this blog…hopefully this new design will give me some reason to.

Enjoy.
