Just Another North Dakota Spring

Here’s what it looks like outside of my apartment right now. This is a view off my second floor balcony. That’s my jeep on the side of the road. I didn’t park in the garage last night because it is April. Why would I need park in the garage in April? This is why:

Kitty and the machines

Cat’s like computers and stuff

Why does my cat always like to huddle around computer equipment like it knows what it’s doing with all that computer equipment?

Kraftwerk Minimum-Maximum

Kraftwerk’s Minimum-Maximum

The newest Kraftwerk addition to my cd collection

I just pickup up this one today, Kraftwerk’s Minimum-Maximum. It’s a great album so far, in my opinion. It’s live Kraftwerk. Good stuff. Even though it’s “live”, it doesn’t really sound like it. This album sounds more like a studio piece of work with some audience sounds dubbed in over top.

Even after saying that, it’s still obviously live. They just did a great job of editing and producing this 2 disc live Kraftwerk adventure.

If you are a Kraftwerk fan, you’ve probably heard most of these tracks before. All the music is presented in a slightly different way than you may be used to, though, so it’s a fun listen.

Yeah.

At the same time, I wanted a darker feel. I think this’ll work.

I may be making tweaks over the next few days to refine the look, but this is the base. Yeah.

My new aquarium web site

I’ve recently launched a new web site that is about my 75 gallon salt water aquarium only. I figure why not? It’ll give me a chance to focus on writing about my fish tank ownership experiences and share those experiences with other tank owners or enthusiast who happen to run across the site.

Here’s the link:

Check it out if you get a chance.

Have your cake, and eat it too, and then die?

Yep. He ate too much cake.

An inquest is to be held on a man who died during a contest to see who could eat the most fairy cakes.

The man, thought to be from Birmingham, collapsed at a Swansea nightclub during the event at the end of a party to raise funds for an art exhibition.
