To preface at least one of the few movies I’m going to review in capsule form tonight, let me just say that I am not a heartless brute. I am, in fact, a big softie when it comes to just about everything emotional. I cry at movies… well, maybe not …

I’ve removed the MP3 of my new song until I can re-record it with my brand new mic, a Superlux CM-H8A. It really rocks, especially considering I only paid $99 for it at my wonderful local music store, Bang! Music. I’m just too ashamed of it (the song, not the …

Wow, I’m really getting behind here. I try to post every day but lately I’ve been wrapped up in a neat project at work that’s occupying all of my time, including lunch breaks and sanity breaks for practice. Maybe I should have a catheter installed. ? Currently it’s working on …

I have a Gateway Solo 9500 notebook and lost the plastic second hard disk modular tray at some point while moving offices back in October. I called them up this morning and not only did I not have to wait long for operator assistance, but they got me hooked up …

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 …

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 …

The band had a great gig last night out in Leesburg. Thank goodness, though, it’s the last time I’ll have to drive out that far. It’s really tough packing up until 2:30 in the morning and then not getting home until almost 4:00. I’m a little pooped today (obviously) but …
