Thanks to all who came out to
Friday's show,
sponsored by HPUMC's Cornerstone Community. Once
again, Connections Band had a great night. Our
tribute to the Eagles and Chicago was another
marvelous success. About 200 folks came out on a
windy and rainy night to hear the great music.
Each band member got numerous kind and generous comments about the show, and that's always gratifying. The only bad news? HPUMC's video system seems to have crashed, and the "tape" of the show is probably lost. However, they are supposed to have some audio recordings that they'll try and get to us in a week or so. Stay tuned. (Read the rest. Click here)

Eagles/Chicago Show Reminder: This Friday
Feb/22/2007 01:56 AM Filed in: Music News
One final reminder about
this show.
It should be a good one. The full horn section has been practicing this past week, and I hear they're sound great.
As you know, we've done this show twice before, and we've gotten great response both times.
And so, I am not surprised to see this.

Valentines Day in the 303rd
Feb/16/2007 12:23 AM Filed in: Life Happens
Now and then, I get the great honor of bragging about
my wife. (I'll do it again in about two weeks...)
This time, it's a DMN story set to run in this morning's edition (Feb 15) . A reporter and photog followed Dennise and her staff around for the day, working the angle of what Valentine's Day is like in the "divorce court." It's a nice idea, and nicely written. And you can read it here. (Read the rest. Click here)

The WOW Starts with Apple
Feb/02/2007 04:56 PM Filed in: Life Happens
Early on, I drank deeply from the Apple Koolaid. I've
been a
Mac
guy ever since.
Unabashedly.
Unapologeticly.
Unrepentantly.
Unwaveringly.
When I was younger, I used to get into long debates, and enjoyed the tit for tat fight of "Mac vs. PC." But as I got older, I tired of that. I no longer debate with PC-lovers, because I am absolutely certain there's nothing they can do to change my mind, and equally sure there's nothing I can do to change theirs.
In fact, I have come to believe that your choice of computer is a bit like your choice of religion, and that debating someone about it is usually just as pointless. I happen to believe my religion is the best one, at least for me. I also happen to believe my computer is the best one too. I am sure your situation is similar. That doesn't prevent me from waxing eloquently about both, though. I've just come to realize that getting defensive about either is a little pointless.
Two seminal events happen back in January in the separate universes of Mac and PC:
About two weeks ago, Apple announced the long awaited, and much coveted, "iPhone."
Last week, Microsoft unveiled "Vista," its new operating system.
Both are touchtone events in the lives of both companies. But, I believe that long after Vista is forgotten we'll recall the iPhone announcement as something that truly changed an industry. (Read the rest. Click here)

Snow!
Feb/01/2007 08:53 PM Filed in: Life Happens
It wasn't a lot of snow.
It didn't even cover the ground because of all the rain that preceded it and the mild temperatures of the days before.
But it snowed here today. It snowed for an hour and a half where we were. Big, wet flakes that vanished when they hit the ground, but that calmed and silenced the air in that way only falling snow can.
After school, Maria decided to catch some snowflakes on her tounge, and I was quick enough to remember the camera on my new Treo 700p: (Read the rest. Click here)
