Absolutely clean. there's a version of Landscapes, too, but Cosonance is better * burned (25 so far), ripped, submitted to freedb. the first 3 have the TGq version of QV, so ought to be redone. It takes about 2:30 each to burn, and a little less to print. Think I'll stop at 25 for now. @ Attack of the Minis - Cringely on technology @ My son, the pink boy - Real Families - Salon.com @rowanf @ Damn You Auto Correct! - 15 Most Popular Autocorrects From January 2011 NSFW. via dsmoen Amusing, but the interesting thing is that I *don't* find them all that funny.

Monday was a holiday, which I mostly spent puttering (interrupted at noon for a dentist appointment) while Colleen went to Britex (her favorite fabric store in SF) with Liz.
I spent the afternoon and evening designing a label for the Valentine's Day CD (which of course is over a week late now), and running off 25 of the total run of 50. Before you ask, no, it's not for sale. There will be a few copies in Interfilk auctions, though, starting with Consonance.
It takes about two and a half minutes to burn a CD, and a little less than that to print it. So throughput is somewhere on the order of 20/hour, taking advantage of pipelining but allowing for the inevitable lapses of attention.
An interesting bit of self-observation Monday evening: most people found Damn You Auto Correct! - 15 Most Popular Autocorrects From January 2011 to be rolling-on-the-ground funny. I found it mildly amusing, but not enough so to chuckle at. Is that because it involved people making embarrassing mistakes? Likely.
A 3-mile walk on Tuesday, and I seem to remember one on Monday but don't seem to have noted it.
