Mass Updates

It's been a long time since I last updated this site. With last weekend being the American Thanksgiving weekend, and travelling around the southwest without a decent internet connection and time, I apologize for the lack of updates! A bunch of new items on my list to start this week off.

It's amazing what a little time off will do for the mind. I spend the last eight days travelling; from the Bay area to the Lake Tahoe region, to Reno, to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Phoenix, through Joshua Tree National Park and finally, home. A decent 2000+ mile trip! I'm back, refreshed, and ready to tackle the rest of Charlotte's Web!

I received a bunch of goodies over the holiday break, one being the 2 disc edition of War of the Worlds, courtesy of the Visual Effects Society. They have other DVDs planned for release this winter. I haven't started receiving any Emmy items just yet, but they don't usually start coming in until late January.

I'm listening to a bunch of new music that also came today. Bluetech - Elementary Particles & Prima Materia, from Aleph Zero Records is currently in my CD player. I heard one of their songs on DI.fm and I searched high and low for the CD. Finally caved in and got the 2 CD set. Sweet ambient techno/trance. I also won an auction on eBay for an Underworld record entitled Dubnobasswithmyheadman. I listened to an MP3 from David over at Meyemind and liked it so much I searched quite a bit to find the LP. This 2x LP set is on 160 gram virgin vinyl. Another surprise which came in the mail is a LP of Up, Bustle, and Out: Rebel Radio. I've had these guys on CD for ages, and had to get the record. Tonight's a listening extravaganza!

I've removed trackbacks from this site, yet again. It will still be listed with Technorati and other blog trackers, but I've received so much spam with trackbacks that I've had to remove it. I have also received a lot of comment spam as well, but Movable Type has been good about filtering that junk out. When I get around to it, the site will be upgraded to MT 3.2. There will be no change in the way you add comments.

Tomorrow is the Autodesk What is Real Roadshow event. My attendance is still up in the air at this point. I've got a couple shots to hit for Wednesday, and tomorrow is really the only time for me to get to them. I may have to get a private demo of the new Flame sometime.. On that note, Flame is now on Linux. Sweet.
