Invisibility… OH YEAH!!!

August 11, 2008 By Robert Owen

I saw this tweet come across over at Twitter and my inner GEEK couldn't help but re-post.

New feature: Odiogo Reader

August 11, 2008 By Robert Owen

I forgot to mention... I've added a new function to the blog. The Odiogo reader. You may have noticed this little icon just above each post: You can click that icon and a player will (should) start and read the entry to you. Instant Podcast! Well, kind of. I'll have to say, it makes my lame attempts at humor in the Friday Funnies post a lot more entertaining. Hope you all enjoy.

New site in progress: HornSpit dot com

July 16, 2008 By Robert Owen

Got a new site officially in progress now. This is a site that came about from one long night in the Opera Pit. As another horn player and I were talking, about internet needs none the less, HornSpit.com was born. This site is planned to be a repository of all things irreverent about the French Horn (or properly known as: Horn). Funnies, how tos, How to-nots, etc. So if there are any would be Horn players out there that would like to contribute to, what I am sure will be history in the making, … [Read more...]
