Do they play anything besides the theme to 2001?

Was that to me? Capsule analysis: being sick on MV is not that different than being sick on the mainland. Except that the internets are a lot slower. ...and the heat doesn't work, again. I'm not really into choppers or "extreme" motorcycles, but radial engines are officially AWESOME.

Ooh, purty. I know what that is. How's the push-pull zoom feel? My copy has a not insignificant case of "gravity zoom," which is in truth an annoyance, but not a hindrance to taking pictures.

Rotel makes good stuff, and it breaks less often than NAD kit.* This statement is based on independent research by Knuckleduster Laboratories and is not necessarily supported by the FTC.

So I noticed. I like Tom Waits. Not in a gay way.

Tonight I DJ'd in front of 500 or so people. It was nuts. More on that later, maybe. Right now I have a radio show to get through then pack for the Vineyard. Good luck with whatever it is, Dan.

Off to set up and do a soundcheck. I had to spend the last hour resurrecting Traktor, which picked the most inopportune time to go tits up. Normally, I like to have two contingency plans, and tonight I have none. Wish me luck...

...and Katla almost invariably goes off when glacier-named one does.

Apple Magoc Maus. My only activity outside of the house yesterday was to drive 40 min to the Apple store and pick up this half-used-bar-of-soap pointing device. I quite like it, but the installation was decidedly not an Apple Experience. It was much more of a Windows Experience, finding the #$%& software and rebooting twice while dodging a suggestion to upgrade to 10.6 That said, now that the sodding thing is installed properly, it's a dream to use. I have really big hands and I was concerned that the mouse might be too small. I find all the functions feel fine except for the two finger gesture, which is beyond me.

Been sick all day. Just like I was yesterday. In spite of that, I am still going forward with the opening gig for Bassnectar tonight (even if I did learn that the compensation is only 40% of what I was originally offered). Tomorrow I drive across the state and work for two weeks. This is going to be awesome.
