Sorry, no song lyric title this morning.

So today is the day. It’s 9/11. We remember the loss of thousands in NYC 14 years ago. We remember, both because it was unbelievable and horrifying, and because it changed our world for the worse.

Today is also the first day of the now-weekend-long Supercrawl 2015.

So I’ve been up since about 3:30 AM. Wasn’t on purpose. Just couldn’t sleep any longer. So I got up and started working. At first I just remixed On My Mind/On The Furthest Shores a few more times, to see if I could get the two parts to sound good at high volume without too many noise artefacts. Sadly, ( Read more... )

Okay, I’ve been a bit negligent these last couple of days. Busy busy busy.

First, I have four paintings I have been meaning to get to work on. Actually, Five, but I’m not sure if I’ll be restarting the big one, since the initial pass at that is less than satisfactory, and I’m trying to decide if I want to ( Read more... )

I’m recommencing work on The Approximate Distance To Limbo, the novel I almost finished last year, before I lost steam.

I hope to have it finished in time for summer, so I can get back to work on The Uninvited Guest, which has always been a bit of a summer story for me. It’s also been in progress for ( Read more... )

Okay, it’s been a dead week because the site was down, but we are back and have ignition. Time to get this show on the road.

I recently decided I need to get back into making music, because I have four projects on the go, and this being March, I’ve already lost two months of composing and recording time. ( Read more... )

Still on a Big Big Train kick. Go listen to this.

Meanwhile, I had over a thousand words written on Departure, but decided I was expositioning (Expositing? Exposing?) too much, so I filed all but the first line into Research, and must now more or less begin again.

Also meanwhile, I’ve taken out a handful ( Read more... )

So yesterday’s announcement of Steve Howe leaving Asia comes with news that they’ve already found his replacement, young Sam Coulson, whose name sounds vaguely familiar, but whose playing I haven’t heard (that I can recall). The internet tells me he’s amazing. I’ll check with Youtube later to see what I ( Read more... )

Okay, so I’ve been planning a lot of stuff, and I haven’t even really completed all of the tasks I set for myself this year.

I promised myself I’d add about seven or eight new titles to my book store on Amazon and Smashwords, and instead, all I’ve done is added one new book to Amazon exclusively, and put ( Read more... )

Good Morning, Mackronauts,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

For myself, I’m a little concerned that my bank is playing silly buggers with my account and costing me money in the process. If I weren’t so deep into overdraft protection at the moment, I’d close the account and tell them to take a ( Read more... )
