- 08:19 I would buy today’s woot shirt if I had $10. #
- 08:20 Good ride in to work today, but I feel bad that I left Angela behind in my wake! #
- 08:42 Well, I liked the look of the Google Android, and its coming to Sprint next June, but no MS Exchange support so, BOO! #
- 08:53 You know what? I don’t like wearing 3D glasses over my normal glasses… Quit making 3D movies. They look stupid when you watch them in 2D! #
- 11:27 sitting just waiting for the power to go off… don’t feel like I can really start anything. #
- 11:42 Is Farcry 2 any good? I never played the original. #
- 12:39 Still awaiting the inevitable. Can I go home yet? #
- 12:55 I didn’t bring a lunch today because I thought the power would be off by now… and I only have $0.07 to my name. Grr. #
- 13:01 Maybe the power will go out while I’m peeing. #
- 14:34 My eyes are burning from the onions on my home made nachos… dang they were strong! #
- 16:00 About to try to make Marshmallows. #
- 17:14 Marshmallows weren’t exactly a fiasco, but there was more cursing than expected… we’ll know tomorrow if they were worth the effort. #

- 22:12 I’m so going to miss Pushing Daisies. #
- 23:07 Stupid 500 character comment boxes. #
- 08:02 At work earlier than I’ve been in months… and all ready to go home early! #
- 09:21 New WordPress backend layout… I’m going to be lost for a while! #
- 09:30 I’ll be honest, I’d love to get the new iPod Nano… and wouldn’t balk at a full 120gb iPod either. #
- 11:18 For those of you who care, 200 easy gamerscore achievement points in the new FREE Doritos game on Xbox Live. The game sucks, otherwise. #
- 11:42 I so wish I could program my FiOS DVR from a computer or the web. It’d make life so much easier. #
- 12:26 Oooh, so excited about HandBrake… it can optimize video for Xbox Streaming… here’s hoping it can repair my Jeeves and Wooster videos. #
- 14:48 Back from the doctor, Ansel’s still a shrimp, but healthy anyway. #
- 17:47 Apparently, my computer at work is much better at running HandBrake than either of my computers at home. 4 hours to transcode a 1 hour show? #
- 17:47 Slow computer Twoosh! #

- 11:44 I should have just claimed vacation days for Thursday and Friday as soon as I found out about the power outage. #

- 17:15 Lamest video clips ever… they promise clips from the show, but play only commercials. #

Archiving the Past…
…in which I talk about the ultimate mix tape (er, CD).
Mix tapes, who among us that grew up in the 80’s (or ealier) hasn’t made at least one mix tape for a friend, platonic or otherwise. I used to make mix tapes for all of my friends simply because I had a more eclectic taste in music than most of my peers and I love to introduce people to new things. About seven years ago, my wife’s nephew was young, impressionable, and very interested in my tastes in music, so I made what can only be called the ultimate mix CD. It was the culmination of all of my musical history and design sensibilities. In an effort to keep this project alive years after it’s disappearance (as I have no idea where it lives at this time), I am going to repost the track listing as accurately as possible.

It was the culmination of all of my musical history and design sensibilities. In an effort to keep this project alive years after it’s disappearance (as I have no idea where it lives at this time), I am going to repost the track listing as accurately as possible. As a part of this immense collection, I created a full packaging ensemble for it.
I bough two six-disk cases and created art for all visible surfaces and even wrote a book detailing why each song was chosen in the collection. The book was composed while listening to the music, and thus has a kind of stream of consciousness feel. It was intended to be read as you listened to the music. The book, of course, was no simple matter either, being laid out with graphics and even hand bound. Finally, I wrapped the entire thing in a slip case to hold it all, again with full artwork. All the artwork, I will admit, was appropriated from various anime resources, but re-colored, re-composed, or re-edited to work with the new layout. This is not what I would call a traditional blog entry, but it’s something I want to share and remember. Be forewarned, this was a twelve disk collection. Be sure to scroll all the way to the end of the track listing for a surprise…
