I’m still making progress little by little in the new BD site. But it’s going to slow down over the next few days, though, because I’ve got some more client work in. I’m going to try to stay focused on both projects though. I can still work on the BD site […]

Well, I haven’t heard the whole thing. But this might be a contender for the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. Topping Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” even. It’s that good. But I’ve only heard the second movement! Very frustrating. I found in on a compilation “best classical […]
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 8/16/04
Well, I did sleep in until about 10:00, and I spent about an hour doing yardwork. But I feel good about the progress I’ve made to the BD website. I’m very happy with the design! I had to made a few adjustments today so that slower computers would have a chance (it’s […]
Ok this is a fun link from the Monterey Bay Aquarium:
Live Penguin Webcam!
(I’m not sure how it looks like on a dial-up connection, but it was very good quality on a cable modem!)
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 8/15/04
I took the afternoon off to go up and visit my cousins that have moved into the area, Jennifer and Chris, and the super-cute kids. We got to see their new townhouse / duplex which was very nice! It had really tall ceilings everywhere, which I love — even the unfinished basement had […]

Well, the BD website is coming along slowly, but definately making progress. I’m still moving the design into Flash, and it’s taking quite a while. Mostly due to some new techniques and scripts I’m trying. But I’ve just crossed a hurdle, so hopefully things will get faster now!
So overall today has gone […]
I thought Amit would get a kick out of this: the first two cats cloned by chromatin transfer, were named Tabouli and Baba Ganoush! Interesting where that name shows up….

I’m the kind of person who, if I don’t have a shower every morning, I feel crummy. I don’t stink (I’m nowhere near active enough to generate stink), but my beard starts to itch like crazy about 36 hours after my last shower. Well, this morning Jen and I got up at 3:30am […]
They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 8/12/04
Jen and I are planning on waking up very early tomorrow (3:30am) so we can drive out to a nice dark, rural place and get a nice look at tonight’s meteor shower! We had so much fun last time!
The weather is supposed to be clear, although there are a worrisome number of clouds out […]
The Washington Post has published an article by one Roxanne Roberts, entitled “Do Me a Favor, Keep a Lid on Your Double Latte” (dated Aug 11). The article refers to a woman who was asked to leave a Starbucks because she was breastfeeding her baby. The state this took place in had laws […]
In the same sense that Barber’s Adagio for Strings is hauntingly beautiful, Rachmaninoff’s Isle of the Dead is enchantingly beautiful. As with all of Rachmaninoff’s work, the power of Isle of the Dead is the music’s texture and progression. So many levels, interwoven like an elaborate tapestry — especially considering the complexity […]
