Besides the fact that I can listen to mike Rowe talk about anything until the end of time, here he starts off explaining his time castrating lambs to later get to the point: working for work’s sake. I believe he has a point. Take it away, Mike!

This little jerk bit me on Thursday night because Charity just haaaaad to save it. He’s now at animal control being monitored and will most likely go to the Champaign Humane Society to get adopted out when he and his brother get cleared from having anything bad.
In other news, my internet in my home has gone byebyes. I have a bad feeling I will be out of internet until late July, when I get into my new place. We shall see.
I joined the new artist internet network, Crafthaus, a month or two ago when Jon and Connie showed me it. I didn’t think much of it, but they are getting to be a ton of people on there. The creator, Brigitte Martin, messaged me this morning — they put the picture of my entropic movement number one as the header for the week. Cool.
The network can be like Etsy — selling work is an option — and the profiles are similar to facebook and myspace. It’s a portfolio on the internet for all to see. Artists with or working towards BFAs and MFAs are target members. The general idea is to stick to artsy fartsy and what type of things the member is making. Bonus: Brigitte Martin is currently based in Pittsburgh! HECK. YES.
I have the sudden urge to update this website. Uh oh.
You can check out my main page up in here, browse around or whatever: me page!
This is my new camera. I’ve owned it for 3 hours. It’s approximately the same size as my Sony dsc-h2 and weighs a pound or three more. This guy shoots in RAW format. RAW allows fine manipulation of the image, including but not limited to: fill light, hue, exposure, vibrance, and other things not really thought about. It’s able to shoot in both RAW and .JPG at once, creating two files for easy viewing. Be still, my heart; I still need a charger, zooming lens, and lens filter.
Stats for the dorks:
Canon EOS 400D aka the ~Rebel~ xti
2.5″ viewing screen
built-in flippy flash
CF storage
Canon Lens EF 50mm (what i have for now)
10 megapixel capability
auto sensor cleaner woohoo!
Yay for craigslist.
Next on the things-i-shouldn’t-buy docket: inspired by Cam’s need for a mixer for recording, now i’m looking for one after trying to record Branwyn. Result: when hooked from the amp, there is a crazy electricity interference buzz with both the XLR and 1/4″ outputs. When Branwyn is plugged directly in, no sound gets captured. Stupid passive pickups. I’ve recorded Betsy before with a giant Phonic mixer, but i want the bumbum Branwyn packs that Betts lacks. Also, I would like to have something more compact than 16-channels.
Another way to go about it would be using an instrument microphone like an SM57. I’m wary about micing (”miking?” that looks like “viking” only lamer) when it comes to bass. If you have any ideas, shoot them my way. Or Cam’s. I guess. I GUESS. Guitar for him, bass for me, awesome for all. Barry, stop living far away goddammit.
