Well, if you want to read things from before this date, read my Facebook and Twitter. But now I'm doing it on my own website, so there's no length limit! And now my non-social-networking fans who just like reading websites can hear from me! So, a lot of interesting things happened. From July 13-16, I got a chance to go to Ohio for the graduation party of one of my cousins. I calculated that that was the ninth time in my life that I went to Ohio. Life has been swell lately. I know my website as a whole has been up for ten months now, but we're finally setting up a little music studio! All my computer equipment is there, and so are all of '''those things''' (you know, cassette tapes! Those old things from 1962!), my microphones, cords, an electronic keyboard system, keyboard effects pedal that I stopped using in 2004 but just started using it again, and much more. Pretty soon, due to my '''male-male''' cord, I'll be able to get rid of every single cassette tape! Plug one end into the tape player, the other end into a microphone adapter which will plug into the computer. Hit Record on the computer and Play on the tape, and voila! Converted to MP3! Tape sampling, as this process is sometimes known, becomes part of every-day life for a tape-geek looping musician that reads and writes articles on Looper's Delight. If all my tapes were sampled into a computer, it would make the place a lot cleaner! Should I rip the CDs too? But those haven't really phased out yet. You still see new ones listed on Amazon; any tape you see on Amazon is used. This studio may mean something! If you noticed, my album is temporarily unavailable. Well, the re-release may be of studio-quality, but we still need to experiment with the equipment. Well, I don't want to make this too long, so please email topic suggestions or anything else to [mailto:programmer651@comcast.net programmer651@comcast.net]. | Well, if you want to read things from before this date, read my Facebook and Twitter.
