I read an incredibly interesting and provocative article about the historical significance of references in the latest Star Wars film. It’s definitely worth a read and a mental chew. Please find your own urn before biting off a piece and settin’ a spell. I was fortunate to meet a really …
Last night was pretty productive; I got a new song written and (very hastily) recorded. It’s highly incomplete and the melody needs some real work, but I finally have taken advantage of my new digital recording setup to do a quick demo. From there to finished product is just a …
Almost done with my second round of presentations for my August lectures. Whew! These are much harder to do than the last ones… more diagrams and technical information, which means more fact checking and reshuffling. They should be pretty good when I get done. Tonight Eleya agreed to let me …
I did a little bit of sleuthing and found out that the weird e-mail I’d been getting was actually a virus being automailed out by someone’s infected system. I can’t tell if it was from the buddy of mine who’s named in the e-mail, or merely someone who happened to …
Oops, nothing to blog recently. I do have to say that I love Sonic Foundry stuff. Now if only they would get on the ball with their effect automation we’d really have something going on! I’m still working on that gig tape…. Also our intern showed up at work and …

Oops, in my last entry I forgot to be explicit about what was so weird about that e-mail — I never sent such an animal. It was returned to me but someone else sent the original e-mail… hmm. Anyway, writing in to also note that last night Eleya and I …
For the second time in a few weeks, I’ve had a really weird e-mail returned to me (it’s going to Hotmail because that’s where my jennyboyle-dot-net service forwards my mail). If there’s anyone reading this blog, who’s using AOL and might have my jennyboyle-dot-net address hanging around in their system, …
Thanks to a helpful message on a listserv where I’m a member, I got a link to The AX84 Project, which is all about homemade tube amp building. The documentation is fantastic and also a lot of knowledgeable people there tell you why turning a 50-watt amp up to deafening …
