RPM Challenge

posted February 7th, 2011 in Music

It’s that time of the year again – February means it’s time for the RPM Challenge, recording 10 new songs or 35 minutes of new music in the shortest month of the year. So far I haven’t made much progress, although I have written most of one song and parts of two more.

More updates in progress

posted January 27th, 2011 in Music,Site News

There’s a new CD viewer in testing, although it’s not “done-done,” so it’s not linked from the main music page. It pulls in cover art and Amazon associate links for just about every CD in my collection. As a result, I would not recommend loading it if you have limited bandwidth: 160x160px images for 800+ CDs. If you’re interested, you can check it out here.

I’m also in the process of beefing up the page for my music, including sub-sites for each of my recording projects. Currently, there are three recording projects, including Synaptic Disturbance, instrumental prog rock, Asymptotic Taste, moderately-unlistenable but fun-to-make improvisational noise, and Tianopta, electronic music. Right now basically all of the sites are stubs, but feel free to check out the music overviews and click through to BandCamp to listen to the music.

Arkham Horror

posted January 15th, 2011 in Gaming,Site News

We finally got a chance to try out Arkham Horror, which somebody had given us as a wedding present, last weekend. Since then, we’ve played it far more times than you might expect for one week, given its 2-4 hour play time. Then again, we have yet to beat it, so that’s probably encouraging replays. Tonight we’re going to try 8 players, which is the max, and see if we can manage to win on strength in numbers!

I’m in the process of adding Amazon affiliate links for a lot of the content on the site, primarily the CD list (and eventually DVD and Book lists). Lo and behold:
