It’s all about the vibes, man!

Apparently there’s new research that seems to indicate that nerves do not transmit electrical impulses (which should generate some heat but can’t be proved to do so) but may instead transmit sound. The article focuses more on how anesthetics work but reading between the lines I think there are some interesting questions for musicians (and [...]

The Good, The Bad and The Silly

The Good

The Bad

The Silly

The car AC didn’t need to be recharged at a cost of $310
 

The AC compressor was bad. Cost: $541

 

I can do a lot of work from home and have a flexible schedule.

I’ve been known to flex myself into corners of needing to be 2 places at the same time. Like tonight with [...]

Dr. Accordionlove - or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love my Inner Dork

I don’t really know why, but I woke up this morning having “written” this post in my sleep. I’m no one to argue with my subconscious. It’s kind of long. Like almost 2,000 words. You might want to get a coffee.
I got my first accordion, from Santa, on the Christmas when I was 5 years [...]

invitation to open communion

This is the current communion invitation statement in our bulletins:
Believing in the real presence of Christ, this congregation invites all baptized persons to the table. Those who have not received first communion are welcome to the table for a blessing. Grape juice is available by request.
It’s not perfect. I wrote it, based on “The Use [...]

SciFi Classics

Find this book. Read: Kornbluth’s “Little Black Bag” and Kuttner’s “Mimsby Were the Borogroves.”
I think Vonegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” is in there too.
Then tell me that science fiction isn’t “real” literature exploring real themes.

Welcome!

9/2/08 NOTE: Because Akismet is catching all comments as spam, I've turned it off and turned on comment modification. We'll see how it goes.
