I’m home from work today (had to have my four second molars pulled in preparation for some gum surgery that I’m also not looking forward to). I thought I’d be out for a few hours and then be alble to enjoy the time out of the office, but it didn’t work out like that. I [...]
I entirely forgot to mention that, after a long break from watching anything other than bad TV, Gina and I rented three very good DVDs this past weekend: Best In Show (mock documentary about dog shows), The Gift (a spooky flick co-written by Billy Bob Thornton. The main character is supposedly based on his mother), [...]
TechCamp is over; long live TechCamp. I was entirely too exhausted to post anything during the entire week (a week during which I was lucky if I had time to check my email, much less reply to anything). Today I’m going to do a mockup for advisornews.com (my latest freelance design project). Today I’ll mostly [...]
The first day of TechCamp2001 went very well. The kids got a good dose of HTML, PowerPoint, and Photoshop. Tomorow, we dive into Flash and other things. The hit of the day was Photoshop. Some of the kids created some really beautiful stuff, often very abstract but very good as well. And everyone seemed to [...]
Nancy played a show at Hendrix University in Conway, Arkansas over the weekend. Sean has been teaching there at the Arkansas Governer’s School, a cool summer program that’s been going on for over 20 years now. It’s geared toward high school students. They come and live on campus for several weeks and take classes. They [...]
I’ve logged in here a few times but have then stared blankly at the window w/o knowing what to say (or where to begin). There’s a lot going on in my life right now, but most of it isn’t worth discussing here. I’m working hard to make sure the group of students I’ll have on [...]
I just noticed that these cheezy guys are a band called “Wheat.” I haven’t heard them yet. I do recall seeing them listed at the CMJ New Music Festival 1999 (the year I played it with The Tares. I figured they weren’t still around, but they are. This means that if I ever get the [...]
Made several updates to nancyband.com (including a nice PHP/MySQL polling script that lets you vote for your favorite song from our CD). More is in the works, of course.
Today, my father moved from the geriactric-psyc unit to a nursing/retirement facility here in Fayetteville. It seems like a nice place. It was definately the best of the ones my sister, Gina, and I looked at last week. He was a little confused at first, but we had lunch with him today to help make [...]
