Software is always a work in progress. It's never finished.
Software is always a work in progress. It's never finished. So now I'm adding the ability to add your own comments and talk back to my blog. I'll probably roll it out in a few days if all goes well. It's only a few hours of work but finding a few hours to work on it is the critical issue.
School band rental season has come full circle again. The instruments I rented out in the fall are all starting to come back. Luckily most schools don't have their 'final concert' on the same day. The day after is when all the instruments for that school are returned. They're trickling in now - one school at a time.
Sonica Music Company is now a year old (officially yesterday). I find it hard to accept the fact that the time has gone by so quickly. Although I likewise find it difficult to grasp that it has only been a year.

Technorati...Another writer again agreed with all my generalities, but said that as an
inveterate skeptic I have closed my mind to the truth. Most notably I have
ignored the evidence for an Earth that is six thousand years old. Well, I
haven't ignored it; I considered the purported evidence and *then* rejected it.
There is a difference, and this is a difference, we might say, between
prejudice and postjudice. Prejudice is making a judgment before you have
looked at the facts. Postjudice is making a judgment afterwards. Prejudice
is terrible, in the sense that you commit injustices and you make serious
mistakes. Postjudice is not terrible. You can't be perfect of course; you
may make mistakes also. But it is permissible to make a judgment after you
have examined the evidence. In some circles it is even encouraged.
