It's my blog. My only blog.

I listen to a lot of music. Most of the time I'm sitting down at the computer I have my headphones on and iTunes just constantly running. And usually after a couple days listening to something new I'm rather tired of it. And only occasionally ever go back and listen to it again.
Which makes it so strange that I've been listening to the same couple CDs for the last 3 or 4 weeks. Muse. A british group. Seems like a lot of the good music (and tv for that matter) is coming out of Britan these days. (Or at least not from the States).
Sing for Absolution , Citizen Erased , Black Out , Hoodoo , City of Delusion , etc. Lots of intelligent lyrics backing some strong music. That's rare. The "intelligent lyrics" part. I usually (inwardly) cringe when I start understanding the lyrics of a song because I know it won't belong til I understand how dull and uninspired the subject really is. It's what ruins a cd for me.
But there are a few … a rare few than have that true artistic gleam. Fitting name all in all.
Check out the Sing for Absolution video on their website. (The song is about something else all together, but it works with that storyline as well, strangely.)

I should probably mention … I'm the person who's responsible for writing the PHP/MySQL code that drives this entire website, as well as handling all technical issues that may relate to it and continually updating and improving it's functionality.
If there's a "feature" you'd like for the site, I'm the one that's going to end up implimenting it.
These days I mainly develop on a dual G5 Apple Macintosh running OS X 10.4, but have been programming under Microsoft Windows as well since it first came out. (This site, as they say, was "made on a mac". Well. Partly anyway. There are Mac, Windows and Linux machines scattered about the place and site has been on all of them at one point in time.)
I have a degree in computer science. I'm engaged. Hi Cynthia Rosenberry .
Cats we have. Three. (Susy, Smiley and Waddles). I do also, however, have a funny Betta fish (Koo) and Chinese Alage Eater (Scrubby). Both of whom I worry about daily as to whether they're going to end up killing each other in a territorial dispute. There's also a Belgian Sheepdog turning in frantic circles, round and round, near the door. Don't know who's dog that is, but I think he's signalling about something. :-)
Though I've generally voted Republican by default, I've gone through phases of voting for Democrats and Independants (ie, the Green Party) as well. These days I'm thinking seeding a completely brand new party all together might be the best idea, long term. All the current parties are disappointing (and untimately ineffective) for one reason or another.
I'm rather into the new Battlestar Galactica TV series at the moment... And a copy of Space Colony I picked up at the last minute to add to Cynthia's goodies on her recent birthday. Mistake that. We both got a wee bit addicted. :) Course since it's usually a couple months inbetween "gamings" for us both I guess it's not too bad.

I plugged Cynthia's Wacom tablet into my mac and started scribbling a bit. They're fun to play with once you get use to the pressure sensitivity. I'm thinking about making this the new logo for citizen j. Whadda think? :-)
