Studio ca. 1991 This is a photo of the small room in which I recorded all of the guitars for Poets & Angels, Borrasca, Solo Para Ti and The Hours between Night + Day. The photo was taken in 1991 and that looks like my very first Eric Sahlin guitar, which I used on Solo Para Ti. 8:42:54 AM    comment []; G5 vs Opteron test metfoo writes "It's been months since the G5 and Opterons have been available for purchase.

[BBC | TECH] 8:32:02 AM    comment []; Chocolate Smith Just as a blacksmith knows his metals, the co-owners of The Chocolate Smith Hand Wrought Chocolates (505-473-2111), know their chocolates. Chocolatiers Chris White and Clif Perry (with one f!) have opened a cozy chocolate factory and retail space at 1807 Second Street #31, directly across from the Cloudcliff Bakery entrance. And here, in Willy Wonka fashion, they will be metamorphosing dark chocolate (mostly) into wondrous creations. I sampled the exotic pistachio and green chile chocolate bark, perfect for sending around the country to shock your friends into thinking that we really do eat green chile in everything. Another great holiday offering is a rich, dense, chocolate pâté enrobed in green or red cheese wax, so that it looks like a soft cheese one might enjoy with a glass of port. The pistachio and green chile chocolate bark is most excellent. I don't know whether they do mail-order, but if you come to Santa Fe you should make a stop at the Chocolate Smith! The ginger chocolate bark is great, too. HIghly recommended. 8:30:52 AM    comment []; CD design Nice CD designs.....Sleeve, CD, Inlay 1, Inlay 2 8:30:43 AM    comment []; Eye Magazine But there is a small school of designers who are actively engaged in challenging the tyranny of software through the considered misuse of technology. Designers who are happy to allow errors to appear in (and inform) their work, things `that are normally anathema to the formal graphic designer who hunts down and eradicates mistakes like a Burroughsian bug-hunter (that’s bug as in insect, not computer virus). That can be applied to music as well. It is what appeals to me about Matthew Herbert's work....also, this past week I was working on a lovely slow song and found a percussion file that was messed up. I started listening to the sound which did not even resemble a cajon very much...it sounded like a cajon that had hickups and belched...very intersting...quite beautiful in fact...I kept it for the verse... 8:30:05 AM    comment []; Will Gas Wells Dirty Alpine Air? Even the BLM says potential impacts of plans to drill more than 10,000 natural gas wells over the next 30 years in the Four Corners region include poor visibility and air quality. Environmentalists say it's worse than that. [Wired News] I think the air is still pretty good at present, but I hear from some people that it was really amazing 30 years ago, before the Four Corners power plant was built. 8:29:03 AM    comment [];
