Has it really been this long?

Yup, it sure has been ages. This was an unusual year in the context of the last 10 - I won't get deeply into why, since that's not important and besides, who cares. What IS important is, I have a new place and a studio room with a view for a change! Though the photo doesn't really show it, I have a nice city view and this makes me happy.

What's going on currently: Still cranking on the Seekret iPad Projekt™ with the guys, though it's recently kicked into higher gear with the additional of another talented contributor, which is very exciting. I'm also finishing music with Sussan Deyhim and starting music with Anton Sanko. Sussan and I have a great working relationship, and I did some parts on her cover of Dylan's "All I Really Want To Do" for an Amnesty International album of Dylan covers by some famous people a few months ago. Got some new software tools, but sad to report that yet again, nothing's as exciting as The 'Clav. Seeing as my hatred for bad interface design (as personified mainly by The Monome) has abated not at all, I figured I may do one last rant on the subject before I vow to give it a rest. Must exorcise those demons in an appropriately articulate way, so if you're a fan of that sort of thing, stay tuned.

Other than all that, I am getting over being sick for nearly a month-
The combined stress of moving house and building my new studio, plus a particularly virulent strain of whatever it is that's going around at the moment, pretty much laid me out for weeks on end.
It's nearly gone, but wow. This was the longest I can recall being sick pretty much ever. Not recommended.
