  1. Ugh. Wisconsin ave is a disaster today.
  2. The Red Sox are determined to embarrass themselves tonight.
  3. It's always a relief when creative decisions made at 2am hold up well when we review the project the next day. Not usually the case!
  4. Looks like the Starbucks website has been brought to its knees by the google offer.
  5. One hour of driving around DuPont Circle looking for a parking space. New personal record!
  6. Of course K Street would have signs specifically telling people not to run red lights.
  7. I'm using names like "quantum mambo" for templates from now on so that next time I need to open an old file I know which one it went with.
  8. I would love to see a DAW with some sort of algorithm to intelligently adjust equal temperament tuning.
  9. "Giant plasma blob is headed our way" - this Washington Post headline made me think I'd opened The Onion by mistake.
  10. For those interested, here's a frantic action cue I finished recently: alexandertemple.com/_music/org_sm_…
  11. Whoa, the Berlin Philharmonic is now doing some of its HD broadcasts in 3D. I don't own 3D glasses but that's pretty cool.
  12. Paypal is unbelievable - I don't think it's an exaggeration to say they've frozen my account one out of every three times I use it.
  13. @marcotronic Thanks for the shout-out!
  14. Here's a demo piece I composed showcasing Symphonic Sphere, the new library from Orchestral Tools: alexandertemple.com/_music/org_sm_…
  15. Someone just made my dollar bill levitate. My new years party is complete!
  16. The joys of sorting through and organizing hundreds of old project files with intuitive names like "jhsdgkjgf..."
  17. iTunes match seems pretty cool so far, but there needs to be way to exclude songs it would have to actually download from shuffle.
  18. Too immersed in a project to remember to save; Sonar crashes; four productive hours of work lost. Too predictable.
