I was cleaning things up around my desk and realized how big and hefty my PowerMac G5 is.
And the more I thought about it, the more I thought about how loud it was.

Jen pointed me to this interview with Steve Reich on Pitchfork. He just turned 70 (!!!) and Nonesuch is releasing a collection of his Phase music.

Spitzer winning NY Gov is good, especially since he’s not afraid to go after payola scandals. I hope he does well as governor.
This Mac OSX themed summation of Rumsfeld’s resignation is good.
Democratic victories suggest people don’t like the direction in Iraq and show more concern than slapping a “support the troops” bumper sticker on an [...]
