I'm behind in posting because I spent last evening away from the computer. (I don't normally recommend this, but sometimes it happens.) I spent time on two things that are putting me in a possibility overload.

A week ago Friday, I webcast a house concert with Gideon Freudmann. (You can listen to it here.) It was in Robbie Cribbs' new recording studio, which is in his new house. The space is fantastic as a small performing venue and, of course, it is a full featured recording studio. I've been doing webcasts from my living room, and occasionally other places, for over four years with a music show called TestingTesting. While the majority of the performers have been local, we are starting to get regional and national acts. I've been looking for a local venue where we could do paying gigs for these musicians, but nothing was really suitable until now. Robbie's studio is perfect. Zoe and I went over and chatted with Robbie and Marni about doing a TestingTesting series there, with some of the better known musicians we have contact with. We all think it's a good idea. Stay tuned. As a another early step, we will be doing next Monday's TestingTesting from Robbie's Studio. It will let us work out some of the technical details. Small Potatoes will be playing. Small Potatoes is the type of act that we would be featuring in the series. Click on in Monday and hear them.

The other thing that has diverted my attention is:

Mastering Digital Printing:
The Photographer's and Artist's Guide
to High-Quality Digital Output

My photography has been stalled while I've been wrestling with how to do digital printing right. I came across this book, which arrived yesterday. This book is the bible of digital printing. No photographer who is printing digitally should be without this book. Anyone who wants to print high quality digital prints should not be without this book. It's all there. My mind is melting.
