Watching “Good Eats” I noticed that Alton Brown was riding a black Triumph Bonneville. Cool.
Battles are playing at the local 506 tomorrow night with Cantwell, Gomez, and Jordan. I think I’m going to try to make that show.

Seem to have picked up my second cold of the year. Lovely.

What have I been up to?
Spent a week in Westford, MA for work stuff. Most of the time in meetings in overcrowded conference rooms.
Couple major and minor projects getting underway that could be interesting.
The Silent Ballet is a cool site if you like mostly instrumental post-[rock|metal].
There is now a web service enabled 5 foot long LED sign in my cube. Perhaps I should hook it up to a website somehow so folks can entertain me.
Off to the exciting Westford, MA for the week.

I’ve been very boring for the past few weeks. I should do something about that.
I need to lose some weight again. I should do something about that.
Random recent media commentary:
Books:
I hate the man who runs this bar. Aside from the clever title, the book is full of interesting tour stories and the like by Eugene Chadborne.
Kitchen Confidential. Pretty entertaining stories about the author and life in the kitchen.
Handmade Electronic Music. Good howto book on circuit bending and hardware hacking with lots of good examples.
Sportbike Performance Handbook. I like the columns in Cycle World by the author, and the book is an extension of those, but with more illustrations and photos.

How many books do you own? Bound books, hardcover or paperback. Unless they are obviously intended to be books, exclude stapled items. Just go to your bookcase, and start counting. Feel free to count in whatever order pleases you, noting the books at first, last and 100’s places.
I used the alphabetical list from librarything.
I’m not much of a reader, so this is probably pretty lame.
1st: 1001 albums you must hear before you die
100: Complete Metalworking Manual
200: The Handbook Of Earth Shelter Design
300: Men’s Health Home Workout Bible
400: Real Sound Synthesis for Interactive Applications
500: User Interface Design For Programmers
last(533): Zen Guitar
Bonus Question #1: What book did you almost land on, that you wished you had: Hand to earth : Andy Goldsworthy sculpture, 1976-1990 (the near misses were pretty boring as per most of my collection)
Bonus Question #2: What did this obviously miss? No Oreily books, no motorcycle books, no petroski or goldsworthy books. What exactly is an obvious miss?
