Problem: HTML audio element inconsistency across devices / apps.

To recreate, open http://podcastdownload.npr.org/anon.npr-podcasts/podcast/1/510307/385895405/npr_385895405.mp3

The final segment is a lullaby. It starts at the 56:17 or 56:32, depending on your device/app.

56:17

• podcasts (iPad)

Here's a holy shit idea I have. Sort of.

(a) Imagine apple watch exists and is iterated on and is widely used etc.

(b) imagine apple watch has the ability to accept morse-code-like tap patterns from users without requiring them to unlock the screen first. So basically, I could do what Lando Calrissian did when he slyly sent a message to this bald friend to arrange a stormtrooper ambush.

(c) Okay, imagine apple watch is cognizant that I'm listening to podcasts, and what episode I'm listening to, and the current timestamp.

(d) imagine if I tap a certain pattern while a podcast is playing (e.g., triple-tap to denote this pattern is for the Podcast app, and then long-short-short taps to denote _this means drop a flag / timestamp / star / bookmark at current timestamp of current episode.

// On a page with many .item elements, where each element has many tags .item__tag
// This will create an array 'tagList' that contains all tags (without duplicates)

    var tagList = [];
    $.each( $('.item__tag'), function(i,obj) { 
      nextTag = obj.innerText;
      if ($.inArray(nextTag,tagList) == -1) {
        tagList.push( nextTag );
      }
    } );

A terrific song. What I'm most interested in capturing are not only the chords, but a way to continually strum them so that the melody can be heard. Here's how I play each section.

Create an app:

    rails new whatever

Generate some scaffolding:

    rails generate scaffold User name:string
    rails generate scaffold Item user_id:integer collection_id:integer name:string
    rails generate scaffold Collection user_id:integer name:string
