Sound and Beauty

Many, many years ago I used to dream of owning a true audiophile listening system.  Suffice to say that the unlimited financial resources required for such a venture have never materialized and likely never will.  But if they ever do, I can say with certainty that such a setup will most definately include some of the absolutely beautiful work by electron luv.  Not only are these works of art, it would appear that they are sonic marvels.

Lost in Place

Just enjoying a few days of R&R while my parents are in town visiting me and my family.  Last week was brutally long and arduous, but well worth it…I've accepted a position at Synacor as a "Code Review Engineer" beginning November 8th.  Thus I notified my current employer, Choice One Communications that November 5th will be my last day there.  In my new position I will initially be working with the different programming groups to learn their system.  After a couple of months I will be responsible for making sure these groups all stay on the same page and do things in a consistent and compatible manner.  Quite an exciting new challenge for me and I'm very much looking forward to it.

We had a very nice weekend and went out to Becker Farms on Saturday to pick pumpkins.  This has sort of become a tradition for Mary Lou and I and it was especially nice to have my parents along with us this year.  Sunday was largely spent lounging around whereby I've either cracked, broke or did something awful to my ribs just left of my sternum.  I was wrestling with Colin and he was pushing against them with his feet when I felt this rather unpleasant "POP"!  It's not slowing me down too much, but it is rather uncomfortable and occasionally painful if it gets squeezed at all.

And tomorrow it's back to the working world again.

Sushi USB Drive

I've had the lust, but not the cash for a USB Drive for quite a while.  But these sushi drives are truly lust-worthy at any price, although apparently they are only available in 32MB or 128MB sizes (at this time I would assume).  A 256MB or larger drive would be better, but gift purchases are gladly accepted!
