A few radio concerts from my archives

As I was doing a bit of clean-up around my computer, I thought that some people might enjoy some of the music concerts that I have been recording on the radio and digitizing over the years. I have uploaded them to a site called esnips where you can listen to all of the songs. You will find the links to listen to each concert on the new Concerts page that is on the top menu bar. Each concert has been divided by tracks. I hope that you will enjoy (and that no one will ask me to take these down). These are not concerts that you can buy and they were broadcasted on public radio.

Santa was very generous this year ;)

I hope that you are all enjoying the holiday season. Personally, I am really enjoying my two weeks off from work. I have also greatly enjoyed Christmas last week, with Santa fulfilling my wish list and more.

After getting hooked on the Star Trek: Next Generation novel revival last year, I was really looking forward to getting the three novels of the Star Trek: Destiny series. These novels are a cross-over between Next Gen, Deep Space Nine and Titan where the Federation is confronted once again with the Borg.

Still in the Star Trek line, I got the Star Trek: New Frontier comic book collection that was recently released. This is giving me incentive to go back to the rest of my New Frontier novels and catch up.

Finally, I got The Dark Knight on Blu Ray. Just watched it last night and I was blown away by the non-stop action. A really great sequel!

A new look for the new year

I have been searching the web for a new look for my blog for the past few months. After finding TypeBased by WooThemes, I immediately saw that I had found what I was looking for. The lines are very slick and simple and the color scheme is very professional. I hope that you will enjoy. Of course, if you read my site through the RSS feed, then you won’t get to enjoy the new look.

Re-vamped Freeware Database

After taking a critical look at the freeware section that I have been maintaining on this site, I have changed its format to be a simpler column-based table that shows the names of my favorite freeware applications, along with a much shorter description and listed comparative commercial software, to make it easier to understand what these tools do and what applications they can replace. You can find the current freeware database here.
