Well, my four vacations (five weeks) are over this summer and I'm REALLY trying to get back to a normal posting schedule. This marks my third entry in six days and while that's not "daily", it'll have to do for now.
In honor of a website I used to visit back before anyone knew what a "blog" was, I'm going to structure this next post as if I were running the old glassdog.com by Lance Arthur. For those of you that don't know, Lance was a designer and blogger and I learned quite a bit about design, and cool technology from reading his site. So, here goes...
Currently...
Listening to: Resurrection by Brian Vander Ark - the lead singer of The Verve Pipe has an amazing voice and this CD is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to hear when I bought "Villains" becuase of the song "The Freshmen". It's almost folk-like compared to the "rock" heard today and there are musical things happening that you simply WILL NOT hear on today's radio stations. If the voice and the music wasn't enough to hook me, the lyrics are enthralling. He masterfully paints lyrical pictures of everyday people and past relationships that make the entire collection so much more interesting than the typical "you - my - bitch - I'll - slap - that - crazy - hoe - your - booty - is - so - big - and - its - so - hot - in - here - I - think - I'll - fuck - you - hard - big - daddy - so - get - low" that seems to be so popular today.
Coveting: Nikon D70 digital SLR - sure, there have been tons of new digital cameras since I went all out and bought the first "prosumer" and first 5.0 Megapixel Olympus E-20n but I've never wanted to replace mine, that is, until now. The D70 has gotten GREAT reviews and is really not all that expensive compared to where digital cameras were just two years ago. Hell, it's a much better camera than mine and it's retailing for LESS than I paid about three years ago.
Waiting for: the beginning of college football season. Sure, there were a couple games on last weekend but I'm talking about a full Saturday with 12+ hours of college football previews, games and post-game analysis so that I can safely waste away an entire day without even noticing. Woohoo, I can't wait!

And your camera looks cooler than that other one.
