Convert Video to mp3
Let's all be honest for a moment: we've all ... not paid for ... music. Whether it was via a file sharing app like Kazaa or Napster, or it was downloading and seeding on bittorrent, or maybe even downloading a music video and ripping its audio, we've all pulled some "gangsta shit" to get a track or two. You should only feel ashamed if it was Nickleback. And hey, there are times when you legitimately want to pull audio from a video...though I can't think of any.
If you do want to pull the audio of a video file, for whatever reason, you can do so easily with ffmpeg. Let's use ffmpeg to take a downloaded YouTube video and rip its audio into and MP3:
ffmpeg -i music-video.webm -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 music.mp3
Using the command above, we take the source video and output its audio to mp3 with a 192kb/s bitrate.
There are in-browser tools and websites you can use to rip audio from YouTube or other video files, but ffmpeg is quick, simple, and hassle free. You can also replace "mp3" with other audio formats if you so choose!

But what if you could decode regular expressions and harness their power? In...

Two years ago I documented my struggles with Imposter Syndrome and the response was immense. I received messages of support and commiseration from new web developers, veteran engineers, and even persons of all experience levels in other professions. I've even caught myself reading the post...
![MooTools ASCII Art]()
I didn't realize that I truly was a nerd until I could admit to myself that ASCII art was better than the pieces Picasso, Monet, or Van Gogh could create. ASCII art is unmatched in its beauty, simplicity, and ... OK, well, I'm being ridiculous; ASCII...
![Create a 3D Panorama Image with A-Frame]()
In the five years I've been at Mozilla I've seen some awesome projects. Some of them very popular, some of them very niche, but none of them has inspired me the way the MozVR team's work with WebVR and A-Frame project have.
A-Frame is a community project...
In case anybody is not into command line, there is a UI for this conversion,
