“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 8
We have a winner, this contest is now closed. Congratulation to faithful Macenstein reader Lizzie!
On the Eighth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) Your very own copy of Audio HiJack Pro! – The award-winning software from Rogue Amoeba that lets you record any audio your Mac can produce. QuickTime, Safari, iTunes, Skype or DVD Player. Record from microphones, Radiosharks and other hardware. If you can hear it, you can record it.
This is yet another product I am excited to give away because it’s one I use daily. I currently have one of my Macs set up to record the Howard Stern show off off Sirius every day using AH’s scheduler, break it into bookmarkable AAC’s, and then automatically import into an iTunes smart playlist for syncing. I’ve recorded webcasts, Skype calls, OS X system sounds, old records and cassette tapes, copy-protected iTunes Audio… I love this software! And you will too if you are lucky enough to win it (and if you’re not, you should really go buy it). There’s a ton of other cool features worth mentioning, like the ability turn any application into an alarm clock with a timer, over 50 audio filters and effects (and support for hundreds of VST and Audio Unit plugins), and much more.
To enter: Since Audio HiJack is all about recording memorable events for posterity, leave us a comment telling us what you feel is the single most important event in history (besides Macenstein‘s launch). Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

OTHER than the start of Macenstein? Hmmmm, that makes it tougher.
How about July 4, 1776? That commemorates the birth of this great nation, the first to truly try this experiment Of the People, By the People, For the People. So far so good, greedy Wall Street meltdown not withstanding.

In a little tiny manger, with no food or money, a man and his wife gave birth to what would one of the most influential people for us here today. The date: February 24, 1955; The place: San Francisco, Ca. This day in history would become known as Jobsmas and would be celebrated for all time. O.K., so it wasn’t a manger but what the Hey?

Each day has its most significant moments. To each person and each perspective the moment is different and unique. So every day is a historical event. But..if you want to get specific for the US it would be the revolutionary war, for the world it might be two world wars that redefined politics and nations, for man it could be the discovery of Newton’s Laws and Einsteins Theories. For modern man the integrated circuit. But if you have to have one very specific moment it would be the day Star Wars was released and the world of science fiction was redefined forever.
The day that happens now, cause the only thing that matters it’s the here & now, as Octavio Paz once said, everything is present, the past and the future was or will be present. The famous constant motion in Dream Theater’s song that is the best unmissable event
Not the Birth, not the death, but rather the Resurrection of Christ
