jimmy CARter
I got into a car crash yesterday morning. I am OK. My neck and shoulders hurt a little (but not more than if I, say, slept on it wrong), but I think I am fine. I rear-ended a pickup truck. He braked abruptly to stop for a yellow light and I didn’t think he was […]

wow
I really haven’t ANYTHING to say lately. I am really busy with work lately, but also have been finding the time to work on a new little EP for Part Time Songs… It’s gonna be a song we played live in the Low Hello, a song I demoed for the Low Hello and a brand […]

just a question
Why are commercials WAY WAY WAY louder than the program you’re watching?
I know, I know. So they can sell their products. But really, the loudness turns me off completely. I doubt I even purchase any of the products they’re advertising.
I don’t know who the “in your face” type of advertising works on, but it […]

styles
The styles for fonts, colors, etc are back in business. The right side column stuff I had is lost forever. Might even just leave it. Probably not. I’m pretty sure I’ll get the desire to put a big link to Part Time Songs at top eventually.

oh boy
Tonight it is incredibly snowy and stuff, so I spent a couple hours upgrading Wordpress, due to the security concern raised in my last post. I was .3 versions behind, and the previous commenter reminded me of it.
I figured it’d be easier than it really was. Turned out my old theme really hosed things […]

databases and hacking
Well, my first post about the Wordpress migration got deleted, because I hadn’t changed a MySQL server name in a config file. I backed up the old database, and restored it to the new database server.

Music Education
I randomly came across Project Song during my surfing today… From the NPR Website:
And just as we’ll do with each Project Song artist, we showed Merritt six vivid images, along with six words or phrases printed on white cards.
The instructions: Choose one photo to inspire the subject of the song; choose a word or phrase […]

Food Fight
I liked this
http://www.atomfilms.com/film/food_fight.jsp
It’s a short film that shows the history of war from WWII through present, using food as the characters and weapons (hence, Food Fight). Americans are represented by hamburgers, fries, and chicken nuggets, the Germans are pretzels and sausages, etc. Very clever way to illustrate it, I thought.
