Blogging 101

This is not a lesson, a lecture, or frankly anything more or less educational than the typical chattering of fingers across a keyboard.

Just realized that my previous post was number 100 - is that some sort of an anniversary? I think so... 100th blog post, is definitely an aluminum anniversary. So maybe a macbook pro? Hopefully new ones next week, and if things fall in a particular way, then maybe.

Listening to a good mix of coding music tonight. Took so long to get into the necessary frame of mind to get anything accomplished, but once I got the soundtrack dialed, I realized that at this point in the project (link to come when its done), its really just a matter of copying and pasting and a bit of database stuff. Nothing revolutionary. The stylesheet definitely needs a good spring cleaning though, starting to look cluttered.

The soundtrack tonight started with a little Oxide & Neutrino to get my brain into the digital realm. The Execute album really reminds me of those early heady days, when we were the jilted generation - The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers, Fluke and those crazy compilation cds...

Finally landed on Portishead when it was time to wind down and return to an analog state. Nearly through all of Dummy now, then it will be time to sleep.

For fans of good music, hop over to Craig Cardiff's Tour Podcast page. We set it up last night, to prepare for the Canadian tour that kicks off very soon. The idea: a new song performed for every city on the tour - will be uploaded into the podcast feed, so by the end of the tour, fans will have a new live album, delivered via the magic of RSS. very very cool stuff. I am very excited about the prospects of this, there will certainly be some genius moments that come out of a project this ambitious.
