Getting video artifacts on my primary video card again. Fans are already set pretty high. May have to ditch this card soon.

Ventura considered running for senate? Oh please, no. Thankfully it’s not going to happen, but that shouldn’t even be considered.

Great climb up Hautacam today for the Tour de France.

Wow. Looking for “Frenzic iPhone”. Google returned old, worthless junk. Summize gave me precisely what I wanted instantly. Huh.

I’m surprised Frenzic isn’t out for iPhone 2.0 yet. Would love to play it with a touch interface.

Playing with Mazie.

We just returned from the 2008 Winnipeg Folk Festival. Every year we pick up around 20 albums from performers this year. We’ve gone entirely digital for our music now so this year I just did it all online after we got home. It’s nice to not have to rip everything. We got 19 albums this year, and there are 3 more that I can’t find digitally and have mailed the artists to see if I can get. Here are our picks for this year.

• The Beautiful Girls - Water, We’re Already Gone and Ziggurats

• Charlie Louvin - Charlie Louvin

• The Fugitives - In Streetlight Communion

• The Infamous Stringdusters - The Infamous Stringdusters

• Jakob Dylan - Seeing Things

• Jim White - Drill a Hole In That Substrate and Tell Me What You See, Transnormal Skiperoo

• JP HOE - The Here In Review EP

• Justin Townes Earle - The Good Life

• Little Miss Higgins - Junction City, The West Was Burning

• Martha Scanlon - The West Was Burning

• Ndidi Onukwulu - The Contradictor

• Old Man Luedecke - Hinterland

• The Red Stick Ramblers - Made In the Shade

• Spider John Koerner - Star Geezer

• The Weakerthans - Reunion Tour

We did shopping for Winnipeg Folk Festival today. Tammy got me a cot that is so big I’m not sure it will even fit in the tent.

Not in a good place with our pets. Would love to ban all dogs, cats and fish from the house right now.
