Must Have Closed an Eye

Posted on 21 July 2008

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.

Quick Lead

Posted on 20 July 2008

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 [...]

I Promised John

Posted on 16 July 2008

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 [...]

File Under Problems

Posted on 13 July 2008

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 [...]

A Heavy Upload

Posted on 07 July 2008

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 [...]

Productive Procrastinating

Posted on 05 July 2008

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 [...]

Broadcasting a Decision

Posted on 03 July 2008

I made a decision this week concerning the Quick Word radio show I broadcast every week.  It has been in reruns for several months, and I have been undecided what to do with it as it has not had the level of response for which I had hoped.  However, as of last night I have [...]

I Knew I Forgot Something

Posted on 02 July 2008

When I arrived earlier, I hesitated and then skipped the blog and went directly to the forum.  I had this feeling that I had done something, but did not know what it was.
What it was was I went to the Collision MySpace and did a bit of site editing.  In particular, I added a “story [...]

Single Pickup and Preparations

Posted on 01 July 2008

As mentioned, I picked up a very nice rather powerful power amp yesterday from Grey Vanaman of Audio-Clear.  It is now on the floor in my living room with some of my other equipment, somewhat surreptitious for its small size.  Between now and Thursday night I will need to add to it a rather large [...]

Overlooked Repairs

Posted on 30 June 2008

Yesterday I mentioned having made a few minor changes to the Temporal Anomalies section of M. J. Young Net.  I did not mention, because I forgot completely until I was answering an e-mail today, that I also updated the Other Films page, where I list movies I have not yet analyzed, and give some idea [...]
