The blog chronicles my struggle with ALH (Adult Left Handedness). I also post drawings and write about software. Sometimes there's clips and notes from shows I am in or watch.

I'm Managed by Software
I am the creator and sole user of The Bit Tracker 2000. I use it to manage my set lists among other things.
App Imitates Art
Someone from Australia saw a YouTube clip of me saying I'd made an iPhone app that uses 'mail merge' to customize mass texting. He contacted me to see if I actually made it (I didn't). I invited him to go at it; he said he would and give me some credit.

What did the hotel manager say to the desk clerk the morning that the special guests from Arcade Fire were to depart?
“Check out this band.”
I’m in my new music room. The chair was my first furniture for the pad. I’m holding Alicia in my left-hand. Denise looks on from the wall, she a Gibson hollow-body knockoff. The music box was my very first purchase for the place, as I waited for the keys in a pawn shop… I found a cherry-wood phonograph player (with radio and a CD player on the side).

It was sad and inconvenient to learn a couple weeks ago that downtown Chicago’s street signs on one-way (for cars) streets are oriented only to be seen by car passengers and pedestrians traveling in the direction of car traffic. What hogwash!! These same streets have sidewalks, used by multitudes of residents and visitors alike, who travel by right and necessity against car traffic. Often, one wonders: what intersection am I approaching? The only way to find out is to PASS the cross-street and look up (the signs are raised at the level of a traffic light) and behind you.
I suppose the GPS / Mapping devices can tell you where you’re headed. But those are expensive.
Hey Mayor Daley:
