After years of talking about doing it, my friend, Mike, and I finally managed to take a dip into the waters of Monterey Bay. This was a first for both of us. It’s been a few years since I had scuba dived, and for me this was my first shore entry. This […]

I’ve been president of the local JACL (Japanese-American Citizens League) chapter since january, and vice-president (the guy who barbeques for 100 people) for two years prior, but this position is a lot more demanding because i have to go to a lot more meetings and functions. Worst of all I have to meet people and […]

TXT:: So I have been busy helping John with more of the REDD.47™ stuff. I’m almost an employee now. This past week we’ve met and spent countless hours discussing various strategies on approaching his marketing. Basically i’ve been trying to learn as much as possible about the history of the recordings made at […]

TXT:: My cousins (”the Kids”), who helped with the Power Tools for Reason CD-ROM, have been keeping me quite busy lately. They landed a fairly big commission with a local company, and I’ve been helping them with the contract = translating Ameriglish to Legalese.
The “Kids” came by after their meeting and we headed off […]

TXT:: I can’t really say that much has been going on. I’ve been juggling a variety of different projects this week. The main one is still helping John out with more REDD 47 stuff.

Around noontime, I heard the fire alarms ring out, and I went out to see what the excitement was all about, and saw a smoke bellowing from our property down the hill. A grass fire ignited along the freeway and the flames were working their […]

(another one of those weeks). It started off with my 12 year old cat passing on. He was in bad shape and ended up passing away in the night. It’s funny because I go to a lot of human funerals and do not grieve much, but I really mourned the loss of this cat. Anyhoo… […]

TXT:: I finally upgraded my CD Burner and Software… My old Philips 2x has been replaced with the Que!Fire 12x firewire burner and Roxio Toast 5. I can’t beleive how i managed to survive all those 35 minute burns with the 2x. One really nice aspect of Toast 5 is the ability to burn in […]

TXT:: I’m trying to update the site to include a Reason Button on the Navigation bar. So things have been kinda slow since I’m learning a new web design application.
Plus i’ve been busy running around doing real life stuff Last night I went out to meet some old friends. One of them promotes […]
