white noise ...
















so i figured out how to set up a basic webpage on my new macbook pro by learning programs and tricks of the machine - im transferring and archiving photo prints, 4 x 5's., and 35 mm slides to digital files with my hp scanjet, learning to navigate the aperture and imovie programs for filing purposes and creating slideshows and movies - connected an external hard-drive for heavy files after a few hours of telephone tech support - transferred musical compositions from an older mac g4 and digital pro 3 midi composer and korg triton studio keyboard to a roland 128 channel digital recorder to burn cd's on a lacie music disc burner -created and uploaded art to appropriate files of youtube and blogger - working on new spreadsheet programs for my accountant - and trying to figure out what the difficulties are on a system 2000 oil heating system for radiant floor heating between the unit manager, inducer, heat exchanger, and circulator, after cleaning out the water purifying filtration on the well pump so i can warm the studio for painting ...
that's today so far - and it's beautiful outside - and i want to walk and photograph the ice and snow in the late afternoon winter light, but the battery on my digital slr 35mm camera is running low so i've got to find the specific charger to boost it before going out ...
okay, did the walk and photography - but i'll have to upload them to the computer, manipulate and edit them, and do transfers to an imovie program before getting creative - but i've got to go to the supermarket for some basics ...
oh boy - it was a madhouse - apparently there's an eagles' football playoff for wild card game tonight - good thing, is that the majority of bovines weren't in the fruit, vegetable, or fish sections of the store - but they still created a lot of bottlenecks throughout, especially in checkout - that's okay too, cause it gives me time away from all the technical manuals to think about how to approach my next short movie - something i've been thinking about since last winter - a piece called 'ice music' with images of my vellum drawings augmented with photographs of snow and forest ...
home at last - unpacked, warm, and ready - and i've only put twelve hours of non-stop work in today - still have to eat [at a reasonable time - resolution #3], and figure out how to apply effects to the output buss of the roland before mastering a cd of music to upload to itunes before transferring it to imovie and youtube ...
i'm glad that technologies have improved the quality of our lives by making things easier and more efficient ...
