WVU in Winter

Morgantown is pretty in the snow. My colleague Jim Nolan snapped the above photo from his office window yesterday afternoon. My view is similar. The little yellow buggy-car on the raised track is the PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) which, somewhat ironically, is neither personal, nor rapid.

Ding Dong - The Beast is Dead

It's over. This morning we finally closed on the Money Pitt that has been our house for the past 4 years. I had to bring money to the table, but somehow I was able to pull everything together. They say that we learn from our mistakes. If that's true, I'm well on my way to be a real estate genius.

Media Monkey and Me

I downloaded a new music jukebox and mp3 tagging program called Media Monkey the other day. Though I don't consider myself to be an audiophile or a music junkie, I have an impressive collection of mp3, wma, and aac files on my various computers. I downloaded Media Monkey as a tool for cleaning up the id3 tags (artist, album title, track #, etc) and organizing the physical files on my hard disk.

An added bonus is that Media Monkey spins together some interesting playlists. Right now I'm listening to all the tracks where the title begins with a "G". Currently playing... "Garden" by Pearl Jam from the album Ten.
