I'm posting this from a sweet little OS X program called NetNewsWire. It's basically the ultimate blogging tool: subscribe to a Blog's RSS Feed, read posts, and even post to your own site. It's cool.
I'm so excited about renewed blogging that I think I'll take a minute to talk about my current musical adventures:
I'm currently listening to a band called Ganymede. They're synthpop. I've been quite into synthpop lately. Ganymede is quite good. Really, they sound like Apoptygma Berzerk and the like, but without being overly Industrial/Goth. This is a good thing, as I love the sound of AB and others of that ilk.
Listening to Ganymede's album Space And Time, I must say all the tracks (at least on the first disc, I haven't listened to much of the second, a remix disc. What I have heard is pretty good Euro-ish dance stuff, though.) are worthy listens, if you're into the genre. The highlights for me are:
- Hong Kong. This song reminds me of something, I can't put my finger on it.
- Frequency 1000. Lovely vocoder intro. And I'm sucker for vocoders!
- Daylight
I'm quite excited to hear more of this band, and similar groups. Once I get some more hard disk space, I'm probably going to check out the bands Isis and Neuropa. Because Neuropa is a damn cool name for a band.
Okay, as you can see, I've found the old template files for the blog. I still had some of the database information laying around in my CoE home directory. Had to wade through binary files in vi to find the chunk that actually represented the template. There may be some bugs hanging around though.
Also of note, archives are now working. I'm planning on fixing up the right-hand information panels. Moveable Type now offers archiving by category, so I'm going to play around with that. That way, you can read, say, just my elitist music rantings, or just my complaints about how terrible school is, etc., etc., ad infinitum.
Anyway, I'm pleased with the progress I've made so far. And quite happy about the new domain name and all. :)
I'll be the first to admit that I went to perhaps two basketball games my whole high school career. However, my old school's basketball team actually made it to the State tournament this year. Big excitement in my hometown, let me tell you. There was even an article in the Lexington newspaper (well, not to mention, the weekly local paper was practically dedicated to the Morgan County Cougar basketball team.)
So, it was pretty exciting. The game was Thursday night, and disappointingly we lost by about twenty to Perry Co. Central. Our guys made about 1000 too many turovers. Can't win games that way, no sir.
Anyway, that's my local sports blog of the year. Thank you.
