Recently in Announcement Category

You may have noticed that I've started to use pictograms that relate to the various categories under which I publish my entries. I currently have them for Analog Audio, Sports (Cycling), Sports (Curling), Baseball, and anything Utica Curling Club related. If you scroll down the main page you will see a few of them.

This post will fall under my Announcement category, and I would love to have an associated pictogram for this category, as well as my Random Musings, Humour, and Politics categories, in addition to a few others.

If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to email me.

Much thanks.

The day my old static web site came down, naturally, all of the content went with it. That included a bunch of vacation photos from the mid '90s. Imagine my surprise when a few people noticed! Yes, I've had a few requests to repost them, so I spent an hour last night uploading them to the Flickr account that I created last year for that very purpose. No point in wasting my own disk space!

If you look on the right side-bar, you will see a link to a page called PHOTOS (imagine that). On that page I have linked to the various photo sets that I created.

Incidentally, all of these digital images were scanned from photographs, because these were all taken before the digital camera age, and even before you local one-hour photo place would make you a CD.

Enjoy.

Hi Folks,

Sorry I haven't been writing much, but I seem to have some sort of bug. It's not too bad, but I haven't felt like writing. Hopefully I'll feel better in a few days.

To the person who left me what sounded like a drunk voicemail, at 1:25 AM, this morning, please identify yourself. I was not able to place your voice, yet your message hinted at familiarity, and the need for a return call. It read as follows:

 "Hi, Lance Armstrong is my hero... call me back man... OK?  Bye!"

 Weird.

Episode #28 of The Open Source Musician Podcast is now out. I was a last minute replacement for someone who could not be there. It's basically just a round-table discussion.

I sat in on the Open Source Musician Podcast, again, last night.  I will let you know when the show is released. The show number will be twenty eight. I was a last-minute fill-in.

Well folks, as promised, here is the interview that the folks over at the Open Source Musician Podcast did with me.  And if I might add, those are the most detailed show notes I have EVER seen!

Open Source Musician Podcast #21 with Rich Wielgosz

I'm another year older. Whoopee!   :-)

Last night I went out to a wine bar with my good friend Matt, who was in town from DC, and we had a nice three-hour chat.  It was cool to to just sit around BS'ing, and laughing.

I had forgotten that I had been given an open invitation to podcast with some new friends, and that they would be doing it last night.  When I got in the door I looked at my trusty Mini 9 and saw that my friends Steve and Dan were just about to start recording, and that it wasn't too late to get in on the action.  So I ran upstairs into my studio with the Mini and set up my gear really quickly, fired up Skype, and had some fun chatting with those guys for more than an hour.

The podcast is called The Open Source Musician Podcast, and the show will be released soon.  I'll update you the moment the show is released. 

We talked about mixing, recording, and more.  I hope to do some more podcasting with them in the future.  I didn't realize just how much I had missed podcasting with John on BV, until last night.

I'm thinking at the very least that I should post here once per week.  The main reason that I say this is because that was our posting schedule when we did the BV Podcast.  It's probably good for me to maintain that schedule at a very minimum.  Time will tell.

I hope to review some of the films I see at the MWPAI, since I will not be able do do that in the Podcast, anymore.  And I'll likely post a variety of opinionated musical tirades, political rants, and polemics.

Wish me luck.   :-)

Once I get the hang of configing this blog to look like something decent, I hope to use this site to blog about things that are on my mind (no surprise there) and to create a little area advertising my services an an audio engineer.  Clearly I have a long way to go, so we'll have to see what's up.  I'm still looking for a theme that I like for the blog.

I have a lot of work to do getting this thing up and running, and looking decent, so we'll have to see how it goes.
