A new week!
A new week is a good goal for starting new projects, or at least picking up where I left off. I've finished a few personal projects - the Garaj Mahal ADAT tape transfers, assembly of Jeannine's new BBQ grill, and the prototype of Ralph's remote Stedicam focus control project. Finally finished watching the 2008 season of my favorite show, Doctor Who (and what a big, loud, silly end to an overall good season.) Sci-Fi channel viewers will find out what I mean in a couple weeks. BTW we're learning the theme to the show for concert performance!!!

Now it's time to gear up some new projects, like the new material for the upcoming gig, and BOOKING a New Orleans gig for our big 100th Lecture (BTW, I did a little accounting, and the Babelcon gig will be our 99th, NOT our 100th.) Do I go for August or September? Cool weather will probably not arrive till late October, and by that time, we'll be into our annual House of Shock season.

I need to finish modding my Theremin for the upcoming show (sunk the main antenna down into the case, and need to do something about the volume antenna as well, also I need to add blue landing lights for it!) I need to freshen up some backscreen concert graphics as well, as we're performing a bunch of songs we haven't performed onstage in years, and some of them have Dr. A Pentatonic in the background scenery!

Today I finally ordered a new battery for my beloved Scooba cleaning robot, as the old battery bit the big one (I did tear the old battery apart, and need to look into reconditioning it, which will be tricky as the cells are a pretty odd form factor.)
