Ear Training

Something I'd Like to Try

Nathan posted a few days ago about a bunch of stuff he wants to do bet­ter includ­ing doing more ear traing­ing. Hon­estly, that site is pretty awesome–they play inter­vals and you’re sup­posed to guess which one it is. I played it for a while and sucked at it. But it’s some­thing I think I could really work [...]

Reconstructing the Blog

I’ve been in the process, over the last cou­ple nights, of recon­struct­ing what I can of my blog, mostly by sav­ing pages from Google’s cached files. This has involved writ­ing a lot of sed-based bash scripts, some­thing I’m not really any good at. That said, it’s defi­nately been a learn­ing process, which is, I sup­pose, the best [...]

Moving to WordPress…or maybe not

Well, I can’t get jnthn and Richard’s solu­tion to work. I tried import­ing every­thing into a wordpress.com blog and then export­ing it. But when you’ve got 1300 entries and your host’s servers aren’t exactly über-speedy, things just don’t turn out very well. It’s 2:00 am. And the newest post on my new blog is from 2004. That ain’t right. Maybe, [...]

N.T. Wright Remixed — Good Stuff

N.T. Wright is a chal­leng­ing dude. I down­loaded this Q&A with N.T. Wright at Empire Remixed in Toronto in 2006. It’s phe­nom­e­nal. To be com­pletely hon­est, I haven’t been reminded in a while of just how great the chal­lenge of fol­low­ing Jesus is. But this did it. The audio opens with him singing ‘Blow­ing [...]

Peter Bjorn and John Rule

I got a Peter Bjorn and John cd out of the library, Writer’s Block, kind on a whim. I’d heard of them before, but didn’t really know any­thing about them. It’s phe­nom­e­nal, really cool indie rock the way it’s sup­posed to be–a bit weird but very lis­ten­able at the same time. More unique and cre­ative than weird.

More on Importing to Wordpress

For rea­sons unknown, my tran­sis­tion to Word­press seems to have stalled. Import­ing was tak­ing a long time–each time I’d hit the ‘import’ but­ton, it’d grab about 150 of my 1200 entries in about 2 min­utes and then I’d have to hit it again.. So I’ve been hit­ting it, on and off, for about two days [...]
