What’s on the iPod: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole What a lot of deadlines, and Friday wasn’t going to be productive. Just as I sat down to write an executive summary, the lawn service next door started up their leaf blowers. I’m with Devon Ellington on this — it’s a noise that makes…
What I’m reading: Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler What’s on the iPod: Roadrunner by The Modern Lovers and Jonathan Richman You know, I expected December to be slow. Not a chance. This week I have an interview (possibly two) for two different projects, and I bigger project just arrived. Plus I’m working on a…
What’s on the iPod: Running on Empty by Jackson Browne How was your Thanksgiving? I was able to head home (great weather for it) and visit my parents. My dad is dealing with emphysema and lungs filled with asbestos, so every visit is a gift right now. You don’t realize how quickly time passes until…
What’s on the iPod: Have Love, Will Travel by The Sonics It’s a short, slow week. I’ll be traveling this holiday, as many of you may be. For me, I had decadent amounts of free time, so I was able to get some side project work done, sift through emails, and relax a bit. A…
What’s on the iPod: Sugar by Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds It’s been a nice, slow week. I’ve been wanting to get to some personal projects, so I took full advantage of the free time. Right now I’m revamping one of my websites. When I got to the contact page, I went blank (don’t…
What’s on the iPod: More Than a Feeling by Boston It’s been quite the week. I didn’t have a ton of work, but I had a lot of busy stuff. So far, I’ve had two evening events/outings, and there’s another tomorrow. It’s not even Thanksgiving and parties are starting. It’s Friday, and time for another…
What’s on the iPod: Built to Roam by Shakey Graves This week got away from me a bit. The workload was limited to a few small revisions. The rest of it was split between working on side projects (which are actually primary projects that will pay off later) and sending invoices. In a few conversations…
What’s on the iPod: Song for Someone by U2 I love slow weeks after a long, busy spurt. With a project coming in next week, I’m enjoying the break. The madness should start up again soon. Until then, I’m marketing a little, writing a lot, and getting administrative stuff ticked off my list. I’m also…
What’s on the iPod: Lego House by Ed Sheeran It’s been a fantastic week. I finished all my projects by late Tuesday, had one small revision Wednesday morning, and I’ve spent two solid days doing what I damn well please. That included working on two longer-term projects and some poetry. But that’s not what made…
What’s on the iPod: The Sky is Crying by Stevie Ray Vaughan It’s been a nicely paced week so far. After a ridiculously busy first week of October, I have been able to take on two larger projects and get them done almost at leisure. At least, it feels leisurely to have a full day…
