Well I can't totally talk about everything yet, and I know a lot of you probably already heard the rumors, but yes they are true. Your hero is moving to greener pastures workwise. There are multiple reasons for this, most of which I probably shouldn't go ranting about in a blog (not that I give two shits about hurting people's feelings, just that I'd stir myself into an angered stupor trying to recount everything). Suffice to say, all is quite good. I'll post more deets when I have things etched in stone with the new company. But so far so good.
Also, I decided to get with the times and see what Microsoft Vista is all about. Of course, I couldn't simply shoehorn it into my current doorstop of a computer (the same rig I used to write music on for many years...I'm very much a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" kinda guy for that sorta thing). So instead, I went and got a shiny new laptop with Vista Home already on it. Aside from the fact that Microsoft can go choke on my left nut for all the updates they try to install before you've even done anything, well, it's quite pretty. The Gadgets aren't all that useful, but they definitely give it a Mac feel (which is all Microsoft really wanted to do anyway)
