PERSONAL: Twin Cities update

November 28, 2006General Tech

So, life is interesting in Minneapolis currently. The last week has been very child focussed {g}. Jack (my newest nephew) and Jackie came home from hospital and are doing well.
I now have a great empathy for new parents. Not that I’ve had anywhere near the stress, joy, lack of sleep, concern, excitement and life that James [...]

PERSONAL: Australia prominent in US news

November 23, 2006General Tech

PERSONAL: Happy Turkey Day

PERSONAL: Minneapolis update

PERSONAL: Made it to Minneapolis

November 17, 2006General Tech

MUSIC: Judges – the next demo track

November 14, 2006General Tech

Thought a few people might be interested in this demo track. You might know I’ve been playing with a bunch of guys for years now, and we’ve been (very slowly) getting some more songs together. Here’s a very rough demo (without any vocals) of one of our songs. I think it works well as an [...]

PERSONAL: Off to Minnesota

November 14, 2006General Tech

Michele and I leave for Minnesota tomorrow for 7 weeks.
The last few weeks have been hectic for both of us. Michele finished her final Honours year exams last week and handed in her thesis on Happiness (you might remember this post earlier in the year). I’ve been finishing a few projects and preparing to leave [...]
