    WOLFGANG SPEGG – MUSICMUSICMUSIC INC MU5.FNM: TWST That’s business-to-business product number two. Business-to-business product number three is a competitive product to the Muzak(r) products where we stream music into industrial locations, restaurants, office buildings, etc., but in a totally randomised fashion, so that they do not have to listen to the same program day after day, hour after hour because the Muzak(r) product is mainly delivered on CD and they play the same 90 minutes of music over and over again for two weeks. We deliver a never- ending randomised stream and the ability for them to insert their own…

    Longnecks r best

    There was a swan jam on my way to work today — this pair were installed at the retention pond at the rear of our building to discourage a large flock of Canada geese from sticking around all summer, and of course they have a nesting site that their trainer built for them with bales of hay and bits of straw. A large work crew disturbed them today with a big sod-laying project, and both adult swans and their little cygnets took off for freedom. Problem was, they waddled all the way to the end of the parking lot and…

    Nice, Nice, Very Nice Day

    Lovely days like today don’t come often enough. It was warm, pleasant, and I had time to both tinker around online and dink around outside sticking plants in to my two whiskey-barrel containers. David drilled a whole in the one barrel that didn’t drain properly, and now it’s useable and not a yucky object that looks and smells like a swamp. I added a couple of handfuls of rock mulch to keep the drainage hole clear. Tore out some more  of the prickly bush that insists on growing up through the roots of the one bushy pine shrub, and even…

    Grey Spring

    What’s it going to be? Warm and sunny (yesterday) or cold and rainy (today)? I’m so confused! At least I won’t have to water stuff for a couple more days. I’ve got a bunch of plants to get in the ground and will have to put that off now until at least Thursday or later.

    The Passing Year

    Great Performances . From Vienna: The New Years Celebration 2005 | PBS I've been listening to KUNC's "eclectic music" programming via streaming Internet just now, and they  announced that they'll be broadcasting the annual New Year's concert from Vienna later this afternoon. I started crying. Last night at midnight, I was just dozing off when firecrackers and loud "reports" (guns or M-80s or whatever) started going off. It occured to me that 2007 was a year without Mom in it, and started crying.  Yesterday, at the farewell liturgy for Holy Innocents (AKA Holy Moly), a former vicar came up to…

    Traffic Refugees

    Last night at about the time when people log out and go home, we got word that there was a big accident at the intersection at the far end of the parking lot. Supposedly, the intersection was closed and they were re-routing cars around it; it's been listed as one of the most dangerous intersections in this part of the suburbs because of the high number of serious accidents that occur there. Fair enough, I made mental note to possibly hook around and take the tollway in the direction of home. As I left the building, a long, long string…
