Nice weekend now over. ? Had a cookout/dinner party on Saturday night, where except for my slight overseasoning of the steaks, everything turned out nicely. Sunday was a wonderful, rainy, lazy day, and my wife and I baked some cookies and watched Bridget Jones’s Diary, which was quite good. By …
Originally I set out to make this blog simply reflect my practice schedule and progression using The Stick, but I’ve digressed quite a bit. That probably won’t stop, but I should have noted earlier this week that I played a solo Stick arrangement of the Sting tune “Fields of Gold” …
People who are arrogant really piss me off. Far better to underplay your talents and please people, than to puff yourself up and utterly fail to deliver. We have an office fathead who actually talks down to people with twice his knowledge and experience, and he can’t figure out why …

Sonic Foundry now has ACID Pro 4.0 out. Includes VSTi support and some other real goodies. I love SF software for Windows platforms. You’re best off using Windows XP, but 2000 will do also. (Anything less is trash… I call them “Wintendo.”)
