Now it’s up to Wordpress 2.5. I’m also trying a different theme until either my old one is updated or I design a new one. This one is pretty cool though; you can change it just by swapping out the header jpeg.

It was remarkably easy this time. I went to the Upgrade page, followed the instructions and here we are.

That’s Business Analyst or Information Architect. In the Web world, the two jobs tend to overlap more than in Software Development. Maybe because the needs of the users are more immediate and accessible? Matt has written a pretty thorough comparison of the two in this post.

Cabin baggage ban hits musicians

For a musician, this is pretty scary news. I want to prevent terrorist attacks as much as anyone, but baggage handlers as a whole do not know how to handle valuable and fragile items. I traveled to my cousin’s wedding one month after 9/11, but they still allowed my violin as a carry-on. I just had to open it up for inspection and explain some of the items in the case (like bow rosin). It was a minor inconvenience compared to the thought of spending several hours wondering if my violin was going to be there waiting for me in one piece at my arrival.

On my way back, the national guardsmen at the Bentonville, AR airport were actually joking with me about weapons hidden in violin cases. I just smiled and said nothing; it seemed like the best response.

I re-discovered Talking Heads Remain In Light a couple of months ago, especially the track “Houses in Motion.” It still sounds fresh to me even today.

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was just re-mastered and released and some of the tracks will be released under a Creative Commons license so people can do their own re-mixing. (via Metafilter)

I want to go to London to see the exhibit Modernism: Designing A New World.
