For the past few days now I’ve been scouring the net for something like this phone. It doesn’t exist. It won’t exist for a long time. Apple and cell phones? Well, it would have to be a GSM phone. What about EDGE? By the time that happens, Cingular will have rolled out its nationwide UMTS network and the phone will need “updating” ($$$). But wait, isn’t that how this technology game is supposed to work?

I don’t know. All I know is I need a new cell phone and Steve may pull a rabbit out of his hat at MWSF 2005, but he might not. Things are good, and they’re only getting better. We must look to the future but relish what we have in the present because there’s always something better on the horizon.

“What’s ham radio?” you ask. Lots of people want to know what those antennas on my car do. Hopefully this will help explain it to you.

The behavior of a government does not necessarily reflect upon the behavior of its people.

An individual unwilling to entertain an alternative viewpoint is unworthy of my time.

One who is unwilling to listen is also afraid: afraid that he may be wrong.

We are all wrong.

I thought I’d make this Sony Ericsson-suitable background jpeg available to all you cool cats out there who want a close up of the Euphonix System 5F on your mobile. Took it myself. Enjoy.

Come on now, who doesn’t like chocolate chip pancakes? What’s not to like? On one hand you have the chocolate chips. Mmmmm. And on the other hand you have pancakes. Mmmmm. Add some butter and maple syrup and you’ve got yourself a carbo-choco-loaded confectionary creation/sensation. Suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and rotting your teeth. 🙂

So I figure I’d better post an update in here lest someone actually read this blog. Went to Indiana (Elkhart) for X-mas, saw family, ate a lot, gained a pound or two. Came back. It’s snowing now in Denver. I’m heading back to L.A. before too long. Probably on Saturday or whenever this storm passes. It’s late now so I’m going to bed. A whole lot of sleepin’ to do.

This morning, right now, at 7 am, I’m listening to some driver honk his horn again and again and again and again. I think he’s waiting on the street to pick up someone. Let me say this as calmly and as politely as possible: SHUT THE F*CK UP!!! I cannot stand car horns. Especially those that go on and on and on. They are rude, they are angry, and they are annoying as all hell and damnation incarnate. SHUT THE G*DD*MN M*THERF*CK UP! There. I feel a little better. But if I ever see that son of a bitch honking, you can be d*mn sure I’m going to go over there and tell him to be quiet.

I got an autograph from Doobie Chae, one of my 546 Sound students. At least, I think it’s his signature. He told me it is, but it could be a swear word for all I know.
