currently surfing with the Google Chrome web browser (only works in windows for now) - pretty cool so far. I'm reading through the comic strip that describes the engineering decisions (here) and every time I click on the arrow to advance a page, it advances two pages, and I have to go "back" - funny.
When I was in law school in 1993 (and for the next few years), I worked in the "Legal Information Institute", and we had what I still think is the first web browser for MS Windows, called Cello - (read more here) but we forgot it like a dentist appointment when mosaic for windows (and then Netscape) came out. It occurred to me that, besided lynx, pretty much all current web browsers shared a common ancestry (Mosaic, that is), and that the "aboriginal" browsers, like Cello, had all died out. But here's a new one -- that's kind of big deal, really.
Can't wait to try it on a mac.

"Please close your eyes, taste of sweetness sense of music by these. Let each note be injected into our soul."
--from the first draft of a manual for the eagerly anticipated
ACMP "Chineve" preamps.

Here's a cover of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Girl From Ipanema", performed by Bethany, Sophie, and me. We tracked it a couple of months ago, but I've been picking at it since then. None of us can really sing -- Sophie's voice is the only one that isn't assisted by software to be on pitch. I think Bethany's voice is very good -- she just needs pitch training so we can ditch the software. Admittedly, this isn't the easiest song to sing, because of all the key changes.

here's the mp3
Bethany and I sang through an Oktavamod FDPE MK-319, and Sophie sang through an AKG C414B-ULS. Sophie and I recorded all the percussion with the C414, also. For the preamp, we almost exclusively used the ART Digital MPA, clocked with the MOTU Traveler using a Black Lion Audio Microclock, and the bass and guitar (red Antoniostai with P-94s - neck pickup, volume rolled slightly back) are DI into it as well. The piano and most of the drums (as opposed to the percussion) are Logic software instruments.
