The Sigur Rós ad that pops up in Twitterrific's ads makes me nervous.

This is now day 4 of the busted treo while I wait for an iPhone experiment. Apathetic AT&T employees make it no better.

@doshdosh I'm amazed that you are just now getting around to being annoyed with digg...
Like My {Body}?
That’s right kids, brandonmeek.com has a new skin and I’m flaunting it.
I moved the old worn out Wordpress site to ExpressionEngine. I’ll outline the process in a week or two when I get a chance. It was actually very easy in my opinion. I’d like to work up a plugin or something that will make it even easier, but we’ll see.
If you are nosing through the site and run into any issues, I would appreciate it if you pass along a message with the problem so I can take care of it.
I have been too busy. I realized the other day that I have neglected this site for several months now. I have been busy with a new job, several new sites, family and outside work. Leaving home when its dark and returning home when its dark means that the personal site takes the hit.
I have finally put some direction to what my personal site is going to be though. I'm redesigning my freelance site, after which, this site will take on a similar look since long term, the two will be very tied together.
The point of this post? Well other than to dust off the pings, nothing except to put this stuff in writing on the site, so it will be glaring at me to set aside the time to do it.
The comments are as entertaining as the buzz saw effect generated by synths and guitars that are out of tune with each other.
I don't know if it was the sample rate or not, but its been a while since Van Halen was THIS entertaining.
I realize that I'm not breaking news here, but I was truly sad this morning when I heard that Luciano Pavarotti had passed away. I was introduced to Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and a few other greats probably 10 years ago. There is something truly engaging about all their voices, but specifically Pavarotti. Perhaps he was just the name brand, but to say he was only that is an incredible reduction of his work.
I've listened to some of his work probably thousands of times. The depth that he created was simply amazing. I heard someone describing his voice this morning and it sounded like they were describing a vintage bottle of wine. When you think about it, there may not be that much of a difference. Pavarotti's work will age gracefully, but it will always be special. You can listen and appreciate the qualities and subtleties in his singing. Its more than a song, its an experience.
I can still be brought to near tears by Nessun Dorma even after hearing it who knows how many times. The swelling orchestra and his perfectly matching voice is simply magical. Pavarotti has given us all a great gift to enjoy and one that our great-great grandchildren will be able to appreciate some day as well.
Goodbye Pavarotti – 71 years doesn't seem like enough, but your music will live with us forever.
