Passive Manipulation

That's right, Michelle and I went to see the White Stripes last night at the Greek in Los Angeles. Our friends Jan and Mike joined us for the concert which I've been looking forward to since Michelle bought the tickets. We had decent seats in the middle about half way back, except for the wonderful couple behind us who wanted to make sure that I was able to participate in their conversation during every song they didn't know. Unfortunately, they weren't too well versed in White Stripes songs, well other than those they heard on KROQ. But if you were to hear the way the mr wonderful whistled as loud as he could after each song he didn't pay attention to, you'd be fooled. Annoying couple aside, they played a great set with a diverse mix of songs off all their albums, and even played Black Jack Davey. Jack wasn't much of a performer, but he did play very well. Excellent musician but he didn't engage the audience much. The music was great (what I was able to hear of it over the couple behind me).
Michelle and I were concerned about leaving in time to get home by 11pm for our baby sitter. Of course murphey's law was such that we got stuck parking at the very back of the lot. We left right at the end of the last encore song, only to find a tree had fallen across 6 cars blocking the exit from the parking lot. Michelle ended up getting a ride home from Mike and Jan and I waited for the parking lot to clear.

Here's a blog entry posted yesterday that I think is very well written by Scott Randolph. I can't help but agree with what he says and how he says it. You mean we didn't go over to Iraq for buckets of desert sand made of gold?
Poetry reading and more

I was invited to be the featured poety at "Poets at the Hill," a monthly poetry reading at the Hill Ave Library in Pasadena. I had a good time meeting members from pathetic.org and listening to the various readings. We went for some pie and socializing at Coco's afterward. Thank you to Michelle A for inviting me and for all those that went out of their way to come out for it.
I confess... I'm a music junkie. That is I love music. I also collect albums and such. So much that between my CD collection and my now growing purchase list from ITMS, I've filled my 40 gig ipod and have had to delete some albums off iTunes that I have sitting in my cd collection and I don't find the time to listen to. Out of curiosity today I went to the ITMS purchase history page to see exactly how much I've bought off of there. As it turns out I've spent more money there than I did on my 3rd gen iPod. :x
Speaking of music, I'm going to see the White Stripes on Thursday :-) Oh and have you checked out Kings of Leon yet? No? Go check out their first album. It's good stuff! Also worth checking out is the now integrated Last.fm and Audioscrobbler. I really like the new design theme and progress they have made.
Work as been busy but good. I've been working on a project writing the SOAP based backend for a handheld application that will integrate into one of our customers existing web based applications. It's been pretty cool implementing them and I have all sorts of good ideas (I think) for upcoming Framewerk technologies using Soap.
sIFRFonts.com isn't doing too well. I've not had time to really spend a lot of time populating the font database. Maybe I'll take a day or two once Framewerk goes beta to add a couple hundred fonts to it.
