The whole point of this exercise is to, of course, kill dead time. Well, technically I'm not in that mode. I'm trying to figure out what I should do now that I've 'grown up', per se. The bicycle business has treated me well and might still. I plan to throw quite a few resumes out at Interbike (cycling industries' tradeshow, for you all not in the know), am trying to figure out what kind of technical career I should pursue; IT, networking, etc. The stuff interests me in a way and it's a still growing field, so there's a possibility there.
And then there's music. I'm not going to run off and be a rockstar by any means that I know of. But I want to learn to record music at the very least. So in that interest I want to leave Garageband and move into Ableton Live. The 'Live' name comes from the fact arrangements can be played and arranged, well, live. And now they even have a looper built into it so you can record and replay guitar samples and record new ones on top of the last one. Nifty!
They have online 'how-to' movies like this...

So that's what I'm up to. Looks like I'll be in Phoenix for a bit, barring someone at the tradeshow grabbing my attention. Portland rocks and I would like to get back there after the market recovers and/or my skillset has expanded somewhat. We'll see...
