Sunday Morning
Getting caught up on some things. Wrestled for a bit with a wireless keyboard/KVM switch setup so that I could run both a Mac and PC from one monitor and keyboard/mouse and, like all changes in technology, it took longer than I had hoped it would and I still ended up at IO Gear's website to discover that they don't fully support wireless connections to their KVM switches. Bummer. The funny bit is that a Macintosh keyboard (being USB) has come in terribly handy right now since the KVM switch is USB driven.
Alright, enough geek wonkery. Melissa and Solomon are still sleeping and I'm getting some things cleared off my desk (both physically and virtually). This is a hodge-podge entry.

For those who read this through a RSS aggregate reader, the above symbols are how most of them parse my photo log entries. I've got a bit of PHP code in them that decides what size to show the picture so that I show the larger version of the picture in the individual entry page and the smaller one elsewhere. The downside of doing is that, well, the code doesn't parse when it gets dropped into XML and picked up by the news readers. So, yeah, if you see the contents of an entry being just those characters, you're missing out on a picture.
I've been busy getting settled in over at Igloo where I've been made a Contributing Editor. It's a great site that focuses more on electronic and experimental music (where my love is right now), giving me more direct access to music and a readership that is more in tune with my interests. There have also been a number of other reviews which haven't found homes since eP went on hiatus and I'm putting them up here. So, yeah, lots to read.
A couple of the records which I'm still enjoying quite a bit (links are to their reviews at Igloo):
Fennesz - Venice
Minion - Depression, Truth & Love
Various Artists - Intelligent Toys
Lamb - Between Darkness & Wonder
And I've added a SEARCH box to the Journal page. I keep missing it so it went back in. It searches against all of the blogs even though it is on the Journal page.
