How could I NOT point to a site that presents some Unusual Cards by a certain Francesca Berrini, and which has a section named Days of the Dinosaurs and another one named Land of the Giant Food?!

Surprise follow-up
A while back, I wrote about « surprise » in music. How most people prefer their music to be nice and predictable rather than nice and unpredictable. I was discussing this with my significant other who is an artist, and her question wasn’t if this was the case, but why? Her take on why surprised me. She…
Benjamin Knobil / Compagnie nonante-trois
My brother, Benjamin Knobil, is a theater director and actor. You might remember that we recently collaborated on La pêche à la baleine. In a moment of weakness, I suggested he and his theater company should be on the Web, and that I could help him achieve that lofty goal. Well, he sent me a…
System Crash Follow-up
Well, DiskWarrior kinda sorta worked! What it does is – examine the content of your disk (which takes a LONG time), – build a new directory based on what it has found, – mount a fake disk on your desktop to let you examine what the fixed disk will look like, – and then, you…
System crash
Yesterday, I decided I’d install Apple’s newest version of Mac OS X « Tiger » on an external drive for testing. So I boot on the Tiger DVD, and while I’m there, I decide to run « DiskUtility » on the internal drive of the iMac G5. A little preventive maintenance never hurts, right? Apple’s Disk Utiilty found a…
IE Win & WordPress
I’m writing this on a crappy Compaq laptop running Windows 98 (and that is as loud as a hair-dryer). In a typical bit of Web-narcissism, I connected to my site, and then to sknoblog, only to discover that sknoblog is quite broken under MS Internet Explorer 5.5! The header is screwed-up, and the sidebar with…
Awww…
When I post a link to a new song on « sknoblog », I’m loathe to post anything else for a while cuz I don’t want to bury the post in « less-important » junk. So following last month’s posting frenzy, I’m cutting down to keep The Playground of the Baby Giants prominently featured on « sknoblog ». So if you’re…

Lines forming now. No pushing and shoving please. 25/09/06 Update: Now with a tiny Radio Vince player!
April music-making news part III, follow-up #2
I spent today re-recording the vocals on The Playground of the Baby Giants (having deleted the first take by accident if you recall). My ears are still humming, and my throat is real sore, so I need to rest a bit before I can begin to judge if this version is worthy of your time…
Sons of Sarookh
Well, Matt Love strikes again with yet another band creation on SoundClick.com: Sons of Sarookh. Well, unbeknownst to me, I am a Son of Sarookh! Indeed, I was a contributor to Crossword, which I mentioned recently in April music-making news part II. It turns out that Crossword is the work of the Sons and is…
