I spent the last chunk of time doing some work that I’ve been neglecting for some time–partly because it’s really volunteer work, and partly because I had forgotten how time-consuming it can be. I have read, or in most cases skimmed, all of the articles that were published on this site in January of 2000. [...]

I was talking with drummer John last night. Actually, we were very nearly arguing about equipment for Collision, as I was trying to explain to him that if I could not find an eight inch four ohm fifty watt speaker to replace the one that burned out in the nice compact PA columns I wanted [...]

I’m sure I’ve done a number of things since I last posted; I’ve not posted primarily because none of them really are completions, just landmarks along the way.
I’ve written, recorded, and sent a number of episodes in the Quick Word radio show’s Faith and Gaming series. I still have not found a way to convert [...]

I overlooked something I accomplished; hopefully you all did not. Last night I finished and posted a review of James Aubuchon’s graphic novel Third Eye Shut. You can read it if you’re interested. It was worth reading.

I am a bit ahead on the Quick Word radio show. I have resolved some of the delivery issues (although I still need a way to convert the overly large wav files into much more manageable mp3s) and have delivered programs for this week and next, and have four more in the can, recorded and [...]

Call it a promise to a friend. I became aware that Jim Aubuchon, whose book Heartstone I reviewed a couple years ago, was looking for someone to review his graphic novel Third Eye Shut. I had enjoyed Heartstone and was looking forward to the sequel, so I offered to look at this and he sent [...]

As I was headed for the last leg before bed last night, around two in the morning, the phone rang. It was our drummer John, wanting an update. I am not complaining about the lateness of the call, as I did tell him that between midnight and three in the morning was the most reliable [...]

I managed to hear half of my Quick Word radio show this afternoon. It was not the show I had recorded for today; that suggests that the radio station had trouble downloading the programs, probably because of the file size problem. I’m going to have to go back and see what I can do about [...]

Part of the process of producing a radio program is delivering the program to the station. Years ago when I was at a station, most programs came to us on tape, usually by mail or parcel service and sometimes hand-delivered by the producers. Network programs came via dedicated telephone lines. I watched the advent of [...]

I did not really take today off. Despite it being Independence Day I had no barbecue, no fireworks, no celebration. I just never really got started. I poked at one thing or another, thinking that after I did this, or that, or whatever, I would turn to today’s work.
That is now technically yesterday’s work, and [...]
