So folks…it’s been a week. There’ve been some great, amazing high points, and some startlingly low points, though even during those low points, I’ve had a great bunch of people around to help pull me up (or at least keep me from sinking irretreivably into the abyss). I don’t make much of a secret of […]

Well, I was on a break, but now I’m back in the office for two weeks for a return engagement before taking a really long break. I’m going to be completely honest with you, dear reader, as well as myself, and say that I’m probably going to be at least partially checked out for the […]

It’s friday, it’s kinda nice outside, I have no meetings, and, for we comics/MCU fans, it’s Jessica Jones Day!, which I will be settling into watch at least part of this evening before the weekend gets too crazy (more on that presently). I’m pretty sure you’re all aware how much I’ve been looking forward to […]

After nine hours in the car on Thursday after my trip, I had scheduled Friday off, in part because I knew I’d need a bit of a rest after nine hours in the the car, partially because we had lots of weekend stuff (see below), and also because we’re hitting the end of the year […]

umm….. Nothing huge or earthshattering to report or discuss, but not everything has to be, I guess, right? I mean, not everything reaches the lofty heights of green poop, now does it? Life’s been life. I’m trying not to think too hard about workplace shutdowns in December, and I don’t expect the news media, regardless […]

So, if you’ve talked to me in the last week (don’t worry, there haven’t been many of you), you might have heard me talk about the potential government shutdown. It’s a pain in the ass, dick-measuring contest fighting over where approximately .0037% of the federal government’s spending goes (and it’s over whether women have access […]

Because it’s been hell of day and I don’t feel like futzing with my phone or my music archive, I’m not posting a random playlist, but rather a photo (taken by facebook personage Wendy Lea “WaltzingDog” Feldmann) from our Saturday night set at Dragon*Con last weekend, because it’s cool, and makes us look like a […]

So now my little “working” vacation is over, and I can tell the tale. Dragon*Con was an interesting, entertaining, tiring, and occasionally frustrating experience, but I survived, and, in fact, mostly thrived. Our shows went well – there was some great energy in the room, and people seemed to dig our stuff, even if they […]

Okay, folks, this has been a really, really long week, mostly because of the involvement of hours and hours of conference calls and powerpoints (seriously – yesterday was like eight hours’ worth). This is my life now, apparently. the good news is that I have short work week next week, and although that break will […]

So the other day was my birthday. For my birthday, I splurged a little and bought myself a present – a Behringer UM2 audio interface, so I can start fiddling around a bit more seriously with digital recording. I want to be able to record without latency, mostly to share tracks with collaborators, though partially […]
