Florida Creatives – Creating a Community of Innovation

Hi,
My name is Cory, and I've been lurking around the site for quite a while now. Don't be confused though, you've probably met me at any one of the Florida Creatives events at the Bayou. Anytime I can have a Guinness and Cajun food, I'm in.

I won't bore all of you with the details of me and who I am. Rather, I'd like to expand on something I wrote in a comment earlier about community involvement in Central Florida. I had mentioned that instead of bickering amongst each other, like politicians getting votes with negative ads, we should try to work together, where appropriate.

Florida Death Metal is a site dedicated to the scene where Death Metal was born. Originating in Altamonte Springs in 1983 by Chuck Schuldiner's Mantas (later named Death), Florida became the mecca of Death Metal within a few short years.

WiiToMidi allows you to convert signals from a Nintendo Wii controller to MIDI signals. It is a Cocoa application for Mac OS X and uses the DarwiinRemote WiiRemote framework to decode Wii controller signals. It also supports the Nunchuk controller.

I was going to stop with the first video, but this next guy's video was just too funny. All tutorials should be like this, instead of all these YouTube videos with a silent pair of hands. I want to buy this guy a beer.
