We are cleaning house again, and have a few things we are giving away to anyone who wants them. We can no longer use our XtremeMac AirPlay FM transmitter for iPod and iPod Mini from the original al the way through 4th generation. Note, the 5th gen iPods changed the ports on the top, so […]
My latest favorite music fascination is Rodrigo Y Gabriela, metal/rock inspired flamenco and classical guitar influence original music by two guitar virtuosos. I am a little sad that I do not think it will be practical to see them live, but want to share the information that they will be touring this area of the […]
Erci and I went to New York City for a long weekend of medieval exhibits at various museums with other members of La Belle Compagnie. Trip details and photos after the fold…

Ruins my plan to invest it all in European companies and the Obama campaign, but it’s still kind of fun to imagine the heads of the Christianists […]
Toyota to add Solar Panels, how cool is that. I notice my mileage slips a little whenever the heater or air conditioning has to be run, so this will offset at least the air conditioner loss and keep the mileage high. In other news, my Prius broke a new personal record this morning, it reached […]
Last Sunday, and I picked up fellow SGI member Ros in Centreville, took her to Vienna Metro and we rode in to Farragut North, then caught a bus to the brand new Soka Gakkai International (SGI) Washington, DC Cultural Center at 3417 Massachusetts Avenue, NW. It is a lovely building, and we had an inspiring […]
