Okay, if you’re not a sound engineer, you’ll still like this podcast. My friend, Jordan, has decided that he had to fill up what little free time he had with a new podcast. He’s still sorting things out, but his first effort has been posted. Its about sound. I found it interesting and I think that you will as well. I am sure that he’ll shake it up as he gets into a style, but for now, he’s set up with a few “bullet points” followed by a main discussion. In this first podcast, he discussed current state of the industry’s stance on dynamic range (or the lack thereof) and put forth a few opinions about where it should be. Go on over and check it out. Beware, the site’s still under heavy construction, so there’s not a lot of navigation in place yet, but you can get the podcast quite easily.

Its So Hot that I Need a Sweater

Wow, its climbing up there in temperature. Yesterday was so muggy and warm that I didn’t think that I was going to see it cool down in oru apartment. Today’s forecast is a humid 30°C and it seems that it might be there.

Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our building here at work seems to have an inverse relationship with the outside temperature. The hotter it gets outside, the colder it gets in here. I’ve just put on my sweater to stave off the shivers for the rest of the day. Anybody else in this situation where they have to take their jacket or sweater to work when it blazing hot outside?

Happy Canada Day, sort of

I hope that all Canadians are taking a moment to celebrate the creation of our young contry in 1867. I also hope that your municipalities aren’t planning such a boneheaded family-unfriendly thing as starting the fireworks display at 10:40pm (or later). I hope that they plan it for a more reasonable time, like 9:30 or 10:00 when it is sufficiently dark to have an excellent display. With it being Tuesday night and with work in the morning, I have decided that my young children are going to go to bed at a reasonable hour and will miss the fireworks display. I hope that the city of Fredericton plans its events with all citizens in mind next year. I may miss them myself this year. Too bad.

And, they’re over. Apparently, from the noise, the fireworks started pretty much on time. Now, 20 minutes later, its all over. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am. I didn’t go down to see them, BTW. I hope that John got a few shots with his camera. It would have taken longer to walk down to the river than to see the fireworks. So, to add to my wish list for next year, I’d like to see a choreographer consulted and see if Fredericton can, for once, have an impressive display (its not the quantity - its the presentation).

Got My New Car

Here’s what I bought. Its a 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 Special Edition. I bought it because of its low mileage (66,000kms) and the fact that its only 3 years old, rather than the alternatives that I’ve looked at, which were 5-7 years old. This is the first vehicle that I’ve owned that has an alarm, so I’ll have to remember that. Hopefully, it will meet or exceed the EPA fuel economy ratings of 8.4L/100km(28mpg) city and 6.7L/100km(35mpg) highway. That would be nice.

The air conditioner apparently works, which is good. It has air bags and a fairly decent CD stereo with an aux input for an mp3 player. And, it apparently is safe in a crash.
