Ok, so this is one of the reasons I hate clothes shopping. I don&#8217;t buy new clothes often, but yesterday I decided I needed a non-black sweater that I could wear at writers&#8217; conventions and other casual business environments. I say non-black because black matches with everything, which means I don&#8217;t have to get as [...]]]></description>

Jeff, Walter, Ray and I enjoyed the Canadian debut of Max Raabe and Palast Orchestra at a sold-out show last night. It&#8217;s been ages since I attended the Royal Conservatory of Music, and it was exciting to see the new Koerner Hall. Gorgeous venue!

Anyway, the performance was fantastic, ending with three standing ovations and four [...]]]></description>

Thanks to Nataline Viray-Fung and Daniel Karp for pointing me to this video of Australian group Tripod performing &#8220;Gonna Make You Happy.&#8221; Heh. If you&#8217;re an online gamer or are in a relationship with a gamer, you&#8217;ll appreciate this song. :-D

I so identify with a blog post by Marco Lament (Tumblr and Instapaper developer), who writes about how some people love being completely offline and unreachable, taking a vacation from their computers and cell reception.
To most people, the computer is an annoying tool that they reluctantly use because their job requires it, and mobile phones [...]]]></description>

Jeff and I are both catching up with e-mail and unpacking after a fun weekend with my sister and her family. My personal highlight: walking across the frozen lake to the cottage. Here&#8217;s a photo of the frosty outhouse. And yes, even that was part of the highlight&#8230;always makes me appreciate indoor plumbing. :-)
Hope you [...]]]></description>

Some of you may already know that I&#8217;ve been a member of the filk community for&#8230;oh, let me think&#8230;for about 25 years. I created my Filk FAQ (answers to frequently asked questions about filk) in hopes of helping filk newcomers as well as providing an information guide for those unfamiliar with the term.
I called Debbie&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

After I posted about the iPad, someone from Musicreader added a comment letting me know that Musicreader is developing an iPad version.
In their poll, they ask if users think the iPad screen size is going to be large enough for reading music. I told them that it would be difficult to tell until I actually [...]]]></description>

From Memory Box


 As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, I used to keep &#8220;memory boxes&#8221; &#8212; a shoebox containing memorabilia from a particular year. Fun at first but impractical as I got older. I finally decided to go through all of my memory boxes, do a lot of purging (what on earth is this thing and why [...]]]></description>

My sister&#8217;s newest book, Chicken, Pig, Cow and the Purple Problem, is now in bookstores. And woohoo, she dedicated this one to ME!

If you&#8217;re confused about the squirrel reference, feel free to do a search for the word &#8220;squirrel&#8221; in this blog. :-)
Sorry for the weird lighting in the photos above. I was scrambling to [...]]]></description>
