First of all, a little update on the state of the mouth - since I’ve received a few inquiring emails relating to my somewhat alarming description: Splintered Jaw. The mouth has seemingly healed itself. I am no longer suffering any discomfort and am unable to locate with my prodding tongue even a hint at the squatter whose residence began the entire ordeal. Whether this is emblematic of a foreign object having ultimately dislodged itself, as was the initial diagnosis, or a natural healing process of the gums overtaking an overzealous jawbone - the final diagnosis - I can’t say. After that post I made a conscious effort to avoid that side of my mouth - only going back to it in recent days due to the number of comments or emails or questions directed to me concerning it. No more pain - no pressing need to visit the oral surgeon.

Second — I’ve been relatively busy of late. Alternating my time between studying and getting the front page in order. I’m pretty sure I can let that sit for a while.

Spent a wonderful 10 hours with family a few days back for my grandmother’s birthday. We went to an all you can eat chinese buffet, topped that off with cake and i scream - and closed out the evening with a couple of rousing games of Scrabble - a much less physical match than Spoons. All the while, in the background, Grandma’s computer was being deloused from the Klez virus and some other variant I can’t remember now. When the machine was finally clean, Grandma bestowed upon me the dignified title of “favorite geek.” Folks, Dreams have now been realized.

Also managed to make it down to Wayne State Wednesday for an interesting seminar on the pointlessness of discriminating between implicit and explicit knowledge. Basically it was an hour long interpretation of Wittgenstein’s Language Games relating to Knowledge Management. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy philosophical discussions.

Other items — watched Four Minutes About Podcasting - then downloaded iPodder, MT-Enclosures, and Blog Torrent. I’ve since watched podcasting get mentioned in just about every form of media — followed closely by the Jeff Gannon story — which hopefully will not be allowed to die. Something fishy ’bout all that.

So now that I have installed all those nifty little techno trinkets above - what does that mean? Well, basically, I’ll be able to post bigger files on the website — or, rather, links to the files — which will still be on my computer. If I’m online - the files will unravel themselves across the internet — and with each successive download — will make themselves more reliable and more efficient. More movies - more music - more big media - less bandwidth usage on the servers. Podcasting? I doubt it. I’m not a big fan of my speaking voice — but there may be a post here or there. (debugging currently going on)

That’s it. Touching base, really. I’m not feeling a great flow in my words — rather choppy moving from head to hands for some reason. I need to work on a coupla mixes for a coupla people that I’ve already written letters to…One’s been sitting on my desk since 1/28. Waiting. Just waiting. I should really get on that.
