Wall-E
I took my kids to see Wall-E this past Friday. It is incredible — graceful, funny, and touching. Highly recommended whether you have children or not!

The bad and the good.
Well, I guess I’m not waiting until the end of the year to get a new Mac Pro after all. This morning, in the middle of transfering a couple hundred pictures onto my Mac, I smelled a bit of smoke and then next thing I knew — BANG — huge sound and my Power Mac [...]

Lost season finale.
I finally got to watch the season finale for Lost last night — I say “finally” but I only had to wait a day. Seemed like forever though!
A great finale of a great season for a show that just keeps getting more intriguing.
Three good links, all from the excellent Entertainment Weekly site on Lost:
A Moving [...]

Finally!
A sunny day in May. Thank goodness.
I’m really getting the urge to get on the lake — it’s the middle of May and I haven’t been windsurfing yet. I’m watching Ellie all day, so no joy today. Maybe tomorrow?

Looking at the lake…
It’s the first day of the year that I’ve gotten some windsurfing lust. Finally, the weather is getting nicer. It’s going to be about 70 degrees today. The water is pure blue and it is blowing pretty good outisde — the Michigan City lighthouse (about two miles away) is showing winds steady at 25 knots with [...]

The good and bad of progress: Equipment slimming, trimming, and upgrading.
Though I haven’t pursued music professionally for almost ten years, it continues to be a huge interest of mine. I try to compose and play as much as time allows. Plus, I’m a bit of a gear freak (okay, an enormous gear freak), and so I’ve kept abreast of the incredible evolution in equipment and [...]
