No Surface Pro for me :-(

February 9, 2013 By Robert Owen

I've been looking at getting a Microsoft Surface  and was on the fence until they announced that there was a 128GB Pro version that was capable of running full desktop applications.  When I saw that, I had to have it! I've been waiting and watching for the release date of February 9th to come around.  This device in all it's glory would only be available from 3 locations;  The Microsoft store, Staples and, Best Buy.  None of these retailers offered the ability of pre-order so, I just had to … [Read more...]

Snowpacalypse Pics

February 3, 2013 By Robert Owen

February 2, 2013 - Groundhog day  -  SNOWPACALYPSE in Fountain City! It was a normal Saturday morning... I was sitting on my couch working for "The Man" ( as I do constantly now) , when I noticed a post on Twitter from a person I know to live near me that just read: SSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, that prompted me to look out the window. And What did I see? I'll tell you what.... a regular Winter-freakin-wonderland.  Who knew it was supposed to snow?  Not me.  … [Read more...]

The Show

January 24, 2013 By Robert Owen

A year or so ago, I was playing a recording session and the engineer hired a Quintet of us to record an extra piece.   At the time, he said it was for a singer's new album.  This past summer, I was playing a session with the same recording engineer and he gave me and my comrades each a copy of the DVD and then showed us the video.  I thought it was pretty cool and have since found it on the "YouTubes". So, check it out and see what you think.  You'll have to listen hard for me, I'm the Horn in … [Read more...]

Pit-chures you missed

January 23, 2013 By Robert Owen

So... When I was... out.  We'll just say I was out. When I was out, I took a bunch of "pitchures" that you imaginary folks never got forced  er... the pleasure of viewing.  So, I thought I'd start off my "return to web-dom" by linking a few of them here. They are all quite "artsy" so, if you don't like them... WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!?!?!   :-P As I have no time to actually learn to use my camera, these are just lucky shots and images I thought neat.  So, I hope you will as well.  Clicking … [Read more...]

Well Hello There!

January 23, 2013 By Robert Owen

Hello? Is there anybody out there?  It sure has been a long time. Those could be song lyrics.  Those may be song lyrics.  Who knows? I don't.  It's been so long since I paid any attention to my own website, I'm surprised it's still here on the 'Interwebs"...  Ok, It has been a long time, for sure.  My last posts came right when I started a new job working for 'The man".  I left the free-for-all, stress-less life of a self employed Computer consultant to dive back into the 'stress-free' … [Read more...]
