Introduction

Inspired by Doug Belshaw’s Weeknotes, I’m going to start the same here.

This does seem like the the sort of project that sounds exciting now, with weeknotes and excitement fading in a week or so. We’ll see how it goes…

In this first weeknote, I’ll ponder what might get written about, and what probably won’t. Mostly, I think I’ll write about progress on personal projects, links to interesting things that don’t deserve their own post, and other random things that happened during the week. I probably go light on the personal details. Goings on at my day job won’t be articulated here either.

By the way, this particular weeknote is being posted a week late as not to violate the long standing custom of not backdating blog posts.

This Week

Happy New Year! We continued our tradition of a New Year’s Eve meal of delicious appetizers. The chef flubbed the sourdough pizza dough and had to make another, last minute dough on the fly. On New Year’s Day, we went to a party and saw the cleanest workshop ever.

As I normally do on the 1st, I took a look at my goals (not resolutions) from last year and made some adjustments for 2024. I also caught up on my One a day photos, more thoughts on that here.

On Friday, we had our regular jam session. This week, we recorded it! I spent a little time playing around in Reaper doing the mixdown. Mostly I just cut out the witty banter and added EQ and compression to some of the tracks. I think we sounded okay. It will be good to compare where we’re at in a month or two.

I went down to the club for the first time in a while. I handed over the bookkeeping duties I had been doing over the last couple years. The boat had some water in it, although not up to the floorboards, so I pumped it out. Then it was off to Old Town to catch up with friends.

Saturday was the 3rd anniversary of the attempted insurrection. Let’s hope that never gets turned into a national holiday.
