Posted 08 July 2009 | By | Categories: Site News | No Comments

One last mention of Walter before we return you to our usual pontifications on media, music and so forth. After four weeks of having him here, I conceded that I was not going to be able to find him a home on my own and enlisted the help of San Rafael’s Milo Foundation. After a [...]

This month’s good deed

Posted 08 May 2009 | By | Categories: Site News | No Comments

Sometimes the world demands you stop and help. I found this guy alone by a shade tree in a not-so-remote area of Anthony Chabot Regional Park.  Covered with bugs and filth, I took about 15 minutes to convince him that I could leash him.  I brought him back to the horse stables where he was [...]

Apple: Not exactly six-sigma

Posted 30 December 2006 | By | Categories: Site News | No Comments

A major reason that The Entroporium went on an unintentional 15-week hiatus was the untimely demise of my iBook 1.33, pictured at left. One moment it was burning a copy of an Optimo mix, the next it’s screen was dead and an acrid battery smell was rising off of it. This was especially bittersweet given [...]

Help stamp out entropy

First, there’s the little matter of not writing for over a month. I’ve had some all-consuming real estate issues that have absorbed a lot of my free thinking time, the end-of-season and playoff grind of baseball did its annual number on my brain and frankly the pile of music to “get through” got daunting enough [...]

A Confession, A Spark

Two weeks ago, I attended a workshop on “Writing About Music” at 826 Valencia in San Francisco. The panel included music criticism luminaries and pioneers like Greil Marcus and Ben Fong-Torres, the room was filled with earnest, erstwhile music critics and the dialogue for the most part was at a high level. I took lots [...]

So, you went and got yourself a blog…

Yes, I did it. I joined the blogging age. Just in time for the election to end. Not quite an early adopter, but not quite a senior citizen either. The main triumph was loading the Movable Type software. I spent three hours with this last night trying to get the .cfg file just so. It’s [...]
