What's Been Going On?

I joined my church choir. It's been fun. I can't sing all that well but I can carry a tune and can sing notes. It's amazing to be around the musicians and other creative types. I envy people that can make music.

My Girlfriend Luckie and I celebrated one year together on July 5. We went on a casino cruise to celebrate. I won 50 bucks and then spent most of it. It was cool though.

On the nerd front, I built my own PC instead of buying one. I spent exactly $350. My goal was to move from Windows to Ubuntu Linux. I have found a way to do everything that I did on my Windows PC on my new PC. My biggest worry was what to do with my iTunes library. When I tested Linux-based music programs before, I couldn't get one to synchronize my iPod. Now, there is a new open source music player called Songbird that i use. Songbird is still under development, but I find it to be pretty neat. I eventually want to learn enough C programming to contribute to the project.
