We are confident that this incident was not an accident...
Hello all! Here are the details of what's been going on recently...

Two weekends ago, Rachel and I celebrated our two-year anniversary by sight-seeing in Louisville Kentucky! We visited the Louisville zoo, an art museum, and a free Shakespeare play (which unfortunately got rained out before it could finish) at the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival (the oldest free, professional, independently operating Shakespeare festival in North America). We had good food and good times!

Just this last weekend, Julie-Rose (my wife's best friend who she's known since she was 2) and Will became man and wife! To help out, I was busy making a CD (full of Beatles songs no less) and ushering. Once again we had good food and good times. We ate at the Golden Corral for the rehearsal dinner, where I got to meet and talk with some of Julie-Rose's old friends; and we ate and danced the night away at the reception.

And just yesterday Rachel's dog for the last 17 years (since she was 7) passed away after living a long and full life. We'll miss you, Tippy. This coincided with the downfall of Hogue Hall, which has been a symbol of Greenville college for the last hundred and some years. It has been systematically torn down over the last two days. We'll miss you, Hogue Hall.

And as for news directly related to this site, I've been working on finishing up my Tetrimino game, which I've dubbed "Falling Things," so that it will be a download-able bit of software on this site. I spent last night recording a few guitar pieces which I will promptly integrate into the game play as soon as I have the time.

That's about it...

Oldies but Goodies
Just a few days back, I uploaded some of my more passable tunes from the old days of recording (the old days being anywhere from 2002 to 2005). These include "For You," "Cheese Song," "Blackbird," and "Paper Song;" along with all of their recording details (for those interested in that sort of thing).

I'm now thinking about uploading some of my old/experimental programs, such as Checkers, a Tetris clone, the "Budget" program, the "Game Maker" program, etc,; but I'll probably have to clean them up/transfer them to .NET/finish them before I can do so. Hopefully I'll have something up soon (other than that silly picture of me holding a light saber).
