I find I’m somewhat incapable of entering information into this blog on a regular basis. Whether it’s from apathy, a general lack of things to blog about, or simple forgetfulness, I cannot tell you. However, there have been a few things that have happened since I last updated.
- I began working the audio-visual equipment at the church
- I quit smoking
- I almost died
- I found some cool apps for iPhone
- I played around with an iPad
- I started a Tumblr
Starting the first Sunday in January (not a New Year’s resolution, simply a coincidence), I began working the sound console at the church. Since then, the church has added a visual component in the form of a projector, switch, projection screen, DVD player, and a laptop to run the thing. I had to teach myself how to use the software in a couple of days. Don’t worry. It was easy.
I also quit smoking. This one is related to the next one, though.
I had a terrible nosebleed a couple of weeks ago (it resulted in being taken to the emergency room twice in as many nights) which depleted my red blood count (RBC) to a point where if it had gone any lower, I would’ve needed a transfusion. I’ve since quit bleeding, though my RBC is still low, but stable.
One of the apps I found for the iPhone is Bing Music. It plays the top one hundred songs (by year) from 1947 to 2009. As I was browsing through them, it made me realize just how far downhill music has gone. I think my favorite decade is the ’70s. So many good songs came out that decade. If I had the ability to travel through time, the first thing I would do would be to attend a Led Zeppelin concert. Yeah, pretty sure that’s what I’d do.
On the last note, I played around with an iPad. Technically, it is nothing more than a big iPod Touch, but, as someone (I can’t remember who) so aptly put it, sure, you may have a 20" TV, and, technically, it does the same thing as the 55" you’ve got on your wall, but, really, is it the same thing? I vote no, but I still think it’s far from revolutionary. It’s as revolutionary as the iPod Touch, just larger.
But, truthfully, I’ll probably end up getting one.
I started a Tumblr account.
