I spent a bit of today recording this little song that features a hot new delay pedal that I recently got (Thanks Ethan!). Its two minutes and twenty-two seconds long. Listen to it with headphones if you can.
It will play in a new, needlessly large, window.
Comments are live, due to the lobbying efforts of Senator Tim. Now he owes me steak dinners and a trip to Martha’s Vineyard. Feel free to comment on that.
I have no idea what day it is Fridays
Listening to some old Songfight challengers from back in the day.. and you can too by clinking on the links.
Ask Ethan all about Songfight if you wanna know.
Our dear glorious leader…
A new gadget from our dear and glorious leader Google… Grand Central. What kind of sinister plot are they up to? A phone number of the beast? I’m only half kidding…

Apparently, I am originally from Brazil, but have also lived in Korea Republic, Greece, Vietnam, and currently reside in France.
1963
This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.”
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
Since then, we (as a nation) have gained so many freedoms, and lost some as well. We certainly no longer have a great leader of Americans such that Martin Luther King Jr. was. Today is always a day where I think about how we can move further along the path to living this dream of freedom for all. Its a day of hope and of celebration for how much has been accomplished, but also of frustration that we still have so far to go.
MLK Jr. Mondays
I found this article about murals of Martin Luther King Jr. over on NPR’s web site. Interesting story and great little gallery of images.
Design Award Thursdays
The office that I work at, PMA, won two AIA San Fernando Valley Chapter design awards this year. Both are projects that Pablo and I designed together. One, a furniture showroom and office space for rezon8living, is a completed project, and the other, industrial office-condo’s in North Hollywood, is set to begin construction early this year. I have photos of them on my Coroflot site, and you can also find them on the PMA website.
