Free online music software, for those with small budget

Just discovered through Chrome apps this beautiful online music studio tool. Completely free!!
You have different synths and even a sampler is included.
Just diddling around with it right now and thought you might want to have a look at it, here is the link. The software is called Audiosauna and the best thing is, works on all Plattforms as you don't have to download anything to work with it. I think it is pretty amazing that even Mac or Linux users can use it without any hassle.
And now .... go try it
Have a great day,

A must see free Documentary about dirt

This is amazing documentary about our planet and how it recycles everything, we can learn so much and I thought I should share this with you.
Enjoy this in the evening instead of watching some game show and be amazed and stunned what dirt and our planet can do.

This is the description to the movie:
DIRT! THE MOVIE is an astonishing, humorous and substantial look at the glorious and unappreciated ground beneath our feet. Dirt feeds us and gives us shelter. Dirt holds and cleans our water. Dirt heals us and makes us beautiful. Dirt regulates the earth's climate. Why do we humans ignore, abuse, and destroy our most precious living natural resource? Consider the results of such behavior: mass starvation, drought, floods and global warming. Narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis, DIRT! THE MOVIE tells the story of humans trying to reconnect to dirt -- the living skin of the earth. Traveling from the vineyards of California to the plains of Kenya, DIRT! reveals how repairing our relationship with dirt can create new possibilities for all life on earth.

Free Mac programs that help to clean your mac

Coming from the Linux and a bit of windows world I was missing some programs to keep the mac up and running smoothly.
After hours of research I finally found two helpful programs that are for free.
One is called Onyx (found here), it is a multifunctional utility to very your startup disk, do maintenance and many other useful tasks. Best thing it is not just free to download, nope it cost really nothing to even use. No nagging, no popups nothing just a real good utility program to keep the mac smoothly running.
Give it a try.
The second one is call Magican and can be downloaded here.
Let it run in the background and it can free up your ram with a click of the mouse, it monitors the temperature of your cpu and gpu and many other details can be displayed. I find it great do uninstall programs as it looks up even for the folders that normally just stay as fragmented junk on your mac.
These 2 tools keep my older macbook running smooth and free up lots of space through cleanup of caches and other leftovers on my mac. Give them a try and visit their websites (just click the links above), hope this can help you as it does for me.

Container gardening and watering tips

If you live in the City like I do and your water smells sometimes heavily like chlorine, you don't wanna pour it fresh from the tap onto your plants. Filling up some containers in the morning and let them sit for a few hours in the sun outside helps to get that chlorine out. This way you will have better growing plants. If you want you can even filter your water with some filter systems that are out there for your tap or even just a water pitcher model. But over time you will find out that this method is only suitable for very small container gardens or just one or two small planters.
If possible try to catch rainwater as much as possible and use it for your garden. Many systems are out there for homeowners, but for Condo owners or renters, I suggest you do the the first method.
Another thing to watch is how you water your plants. Don't just pour straight out of the bucket with a big splash onto the planter. You wash the soil away and expose the tiny roots, this can cause the plant to die or just not producing as the power to rebuild the exposed roots does not go towards their crops.
Get yourself a handy water can with a sprinkler on top of the spout, that way water gets softer on the soil without washing the protective layer away or exposing the roots.

I hope these small tips about watering the plants will help you succeed mastering your container garden.

Buzzword Container Gardening. What is it really?

Container gardening can be done by everyone in almost every place or space. To make a long story short, instead of putting flowers into a big flower pot, you simply plant a veggie plant into it. If you want success, her some easy rules:

• Make sure you plant something YOU like and can grow there, shady spots for shady lovers and sunny ones for sun lovers. Info can be found on seed packages. Easy isn't it?
• Almost anything can be grown even inside with the help of cfl bulbs, you need ones with at least 6500k, k stands for kelvin and is a measure for light. 
• Get some garden soil for you planters, that can be anything from a plastik bucket (reuse &recycle) or get some planter boxes or even make some from scrap none treated wood. It is important for your health that you only use NONE TREATED wood. The chemicals could spoil your soil and your plant and ends up in your system as you eat.
• Convert unused space with racks into a nice gardening spot, a blank wall with lots of sun and old metal racks or whatever you have to convert it. You don't have to ruin your nice lawn for container gardening, isn't that cool?

You can have pretty much all year round some fresh veggies on your table that you harvested, empower yourself again. This skills are easy to learn and each year your crops will be better yielding because you start to really understand what you are doing.
Like I said, it can all be done low cost, just open your mind and imagination and you see your own potential again.
Good luck and like always here is a video of my city slicker porch in the core of Calgary.
