Other folks are posting up a storm lately. What can I say... hrmm Ben doesn't know it yet, but he's pretty much out the band. Actually he probably has figured it out by now. Something about him not liking the music or particularly caring. To be fair I was trying to shuffle him up to guitar and finally get us a drummer with the rhythms. Oh well, life's tough. Pete and I are going to record two tracks using sampled live drums up at Integral some time in the next month or two. How much of that involves cash money and how much is compensation for intern time is up for grabs at this point and that will need to be ironed out. The hope is that it lets us explain better what we're looking for when we talk to folks. We'll see what comes of it. At this point two newer tracks are likely to be the winners, but (Almost) A Lullaby is waiting in the wings.
This was damn funny, although it looses something if you don't have your sound on.
I'm waiting patiently now for an iBook replacement to come out of Apple. They've released Intel powered 15" laptops, iMacs, and today they announced a Mac Mini. I would really like my next computer to be a tough as nails little plastic beast. I stood on the iBook that is still chugging along for Amber. I had my laptop in a bag at Shawn's bachelor party and it hit the floor and has never been quite the same. Aluminum does not compete with materials they use in body armor.
In general life is good. I'm close to migrating work to doing all of our guides and knowledge base articles in a wiki (twiki.org's engine for any that care) which we will then publish to a new unified tech services page. It's going to be awesome and I'm feeling really good about the work and what it could do for my career someday.
Amber spiffied the house up today something fierce after recovering from a morning malaise that left her too knocked out for the work. Man has too work, and woman as well, but she's felt sick for the last couple of days so it was time for a little rest. Having said that, this afternoon she perked up real nice and I came home to a shiny happy home and I have to say it was a wonderful surprise!
Shaw: I was in Marshalltown for a funeral (Amber's less healthy Great Grandma) and afterwards we saw her living Great Grandma Lovig. It was too hectic to sneak in a hello, but I wish I could've seen you Megan the little one. Not to mention finally check out your house. Such is life. We promised Grandma Lovig we'd drop in with Amber's folks in the late spring-early summer time frame. I'm already asking for time to head your way if its at all possible.
Dan: Man has to work, but man also has to live while he can. Even if you can't caravan across this great land, save a little time for travel this summer. I'm not sure what my vacation time is going to look like, but I wouldn't mind squeezing in a long weekend this summer. I understand that might realistically limit us to the Duluth and places northward, but I think a four-day run on the north shore could be a good time. I dunno. Luke? John?
Oh, in case anyone missed it the title is about the video not Ben...
