1st post hahaha!!11!!one!!1!eleven

I've decided to create a web log to chronicle my studies as an MST student at Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA [pronounced 'karma']).  This is mostly for my own use.  It's a way to enhance my learning by trying to explain some of the mind-boggling stuff I'm about to study.  I'll also add other interesting tidbits relating to programming, digital signal processing (DSP), and other music technology related findings.
