I Smell Another Vinyl Night Coming

Whats cooking at V i n y l   N i g h t labs?



Just another V i n y l   N i g h t.  Details soon.

That is All

Working Downtown last Saturday

I love working downtown Toronto when they close the Gardner.  It seems to happen every time.  Here I am zipping along Lakeshore Road West at, oh, 0 km/h.

Jericho

When I was in Denver, I was bored.  Really bored.  Flipping around Netflix, (can you use the term 'flipping'?), I came across Jericho.  It is a series (unfortunately only one and a half seasons) that deals with life post nuclear war.

My kind of happy, go lucky TV.

Anyway, lots of twists, turns and conspiracies.  You learn what is going on as the characters do.  A very entertaining show.  A shame it was killed off.  Luckily they managed to end part of the story line in a relatively decent way.

Expenses

Well, you know that your company's expense system is bad when it takes both sides of Tom Waits' "Blue Valentine" to do the expenses for a five day trip to Denver.

On the good side, I was able to listen to Tom Waits' "Blue Valentine" on work time.

On another Tom Waits note, I just received the download code for "Bad as Me".  Plus, notice that the CD and LP should be shipping soon.

Hackintosh lives!

Well, until I get my iMac, I have been able to get the Hackintosh up and running again. And it was pretty easy. It is running 10.5.8, and doing quite nicely with the new video card, an NVidia 9400GT.

The main reason, so I can burn DVD audio disks from my collection of 24 bit, 96 KHz FLAC files, mainly from Bowers and Wilkens Society of Sound.

Been a while ...


But Happy New Year to All!

Trying unsuccessfully to get some work done. Listening to the Abecedarians: AB-CD. Forgot how good this album is. Non-commercial 80's with a hint of dark and brooding. Yes, this was a good time to enjoy music.
