It's called the Melodyne Plugin and it's from a company called Celemony and it's amazing.

The very same people that, less than a week later, would be shouting "Crucify Him!" before governor Pilate; as they knew it was unlawful for ... http://www.evanagee.com/blog/2008/03/18/remembering-holy-week/ For almost a year I've had a seldom updated Vidcast, the EvanAgee.com Vidcast. It has been mostly a video diary series but I'm hoping to change that soon to include videos related to the things that I'm interested in such as web development/design, graphic design, photography, music, etc. It's now ... http://www.evanagee.com/blog/2008/03/11/getting-into-podcasting/ So I got my taxes all paid yesterday and ended up owing much less than I had anticipated. With the extra money I had saved up Kristen and I decided to pay a few things off and I was able to purchase a new guitar for myself. So we packed ... http://www.evanagee.com/blog/2008/02/20/new-guitar-fender-american-deluxe-stratocaster/ Download original movie file http://www.evanagee.com/blog/2008/02/15/vidcast-3-around-the-house/ Feels like it has been forever since I posted last, though looking at my last post about the iPhone I guess it hasn't really been that long.

Two of the television shows he created have become my all-time favorites, Lost and Alias. He recently gave a talk at TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design.) that I found to be a very interesting look into his mind. Not only do we get his ... http://www.evanagee.com/blog/2008/01/11/a-great-talk-given-by-jj-abrams/ Possibly my favorite group of all time, the Pat Metheny Group.
