Hey!! Catherine and I used to love going to the Bookworm in Beijing. It really is like that. Nice place to gig too: they have a piano. I think Catherine is still on their email list.

Oh suuuuuurre. Fly right past the fact that up until 2 years ago you were using a JV1080.

Isn’t 62 vigintillion roughly the number of notes you arrange in the average Sing production?

Valid point, Barry, but the current version isn’t quite up to the level of what I want yet (the tech is great, but I’m waiting for a few bugs to be ironed out). When I spend the dough I want to make sure it’s good enough, not just good.

Well, you know what my unwelcome advice is going to be. Anything you get will be improved on very soon: so, you might as well get the one you originally wanted, and have a blast with it for a good long time. It’ll serve you well.

Comment on Signed, Sealed, Detained by barrybrake

Amen and amen. The whole thing is disgusting. And the further disgusting thing about it is that Presidents have put a system together whereby they essentially never have to be truly held to the fire — never held really accountable for the decisions they make.

Lots of liberals are disappointed by Obama, but most of it is an illogical disappointment, for stuff that was very foreseeable. He said, point blank, in the campaign, that he was opposed to gay marriage, that he’d beef up our presence in Afghanistan, that he’d never push a single-payer plan in healthcare. Folks who voted for him thinking he didn’t really mean those things got exactly what they deserved.

But the one thing that should (and does) disgust many folks who voted for him was all the promises he made in this arena: the war on terrorism, the detainment of prisoners, the assassination of citizens. He spoke ringing words of condemnation, rightly deserved, for his predecessor’s actions, and then, when elected, turned around and upheld those actions and continued those policies and even expanded them far beyond where they’d been. It’s absolutely revolting.

Absolutely true. And all that money that gets spent — 2 billion this year — goes, in the form of advertising, to the very news outlets that are reporting on the candidates. Where are those big-government do-good liberals when you need them? Meanwhile, we should all just turn it off and keep it off. There are much better ways of getting informed.
