Neat Video Pick of the Day

I've had fun playing with cornstarch + water mixtures before, but in this video, someone is applying vibrations to that mixture with really interesting results. See the end of the clip, especially.

Something to look forward to

I think I posted about the Music Now Festival previously, specifically about the most excellent Take Away Show with Sufjan Stevens filmed at it. Well, planning is underway for the third incarnation of the festival in 2008, and I'm twitchy and excited about it already.

I haven't yet been to Memorial Hall, where the last festival was held, but it looks like a pretty stunning place. It's about 15 minutes from where we live, which makes it all the more excellent.

We found out recently that The National are from Cincinnati, which would explain their involvement in the project.

November Already?

I can't believe it. Where'd my Autumn go?

Well, we got to see Steve and Anna this weekend, which was so darn nice. Steve hauled a bunch of gear down and set up a veritable full-on studio in the living room in order to record vocals for the songs Au Revoir Borealis has been working on. So glad to get that done. I had a scratchy throat, and am hoping it didn't show. Ah well.

It was just darn nice to get to see good friends. Time blurs, and I don't realize how long it's been since I've seen people until I actually get to spend some time with them.

Lovely.

PS. Pumpkin muffins!! Yay Anna! I just ate the last one. :)
