Ignored Future
I was watching CSPAN this morning and there was an interview with a man that was in charge of Howard Dean’s internet-related PR I believe. He was talking with a group at the Library of Congress and offering some insight to the future of information and how it’s made available to the masses. One of…

The wonder of music
Today on the way to work for no apparent reason the Seal song “Kiss from a rose” came into my head. I decided that once I got to work that I was going to listen to it. I’ve always liked that song since the first time I heard it. There’s something about Seal’s voice and…

Home, work and play

New bass, and other happenings

Making the band

New bass baby!
With the prospect of starting a praise band presenting itself, my musical juices have really started flowing again lately. One of the things that occured to me is that I don’t know many bass players, so I took some steps… I’ve always enjoyed playing bass, but I’ve never had one at my disposal, until now.…

Man I love fall
I walked out this morning for work and realized something. It’s fall. The slightly chilly air, the colored leaves, the hint of winter to come. I love it so much, it’s my favorite time of year. I’m not sure what it is about fall, but something in it evokes many wonderful memories for me. I…

An intersting find
One of the websites that I visit quite often is Slashdot. Today the have a story posted about an article from the 50s that included a photo of what scientists THEN believed a home computer could look like in the year 2004. It’s quite amazing. Click the image below to see a larger version as…

Finally
My stomach problems are gone and things are back to normal. I couldn’t be much happier. Now, if only I could find a way to make my grass stop growing and always look beautiful. Oh well, another day. I’ve been doing more computer technical support for friends lately and it’s made me ever more confident…
Got any book recommendations?
