hey hey everbody. today’s post is a veritable cornucopia of my surfing finds! first i would like to point your attention to box.com **edit** box.net. it seems to be a neat little file hosting thing done mostly in web 2.0. thanks chris

second up is smartFTP. this is a great ftp client for those of you who are masters of their so-called webdomains. i’ve used the program since i can remember having a website. the new 2.0 release seems to be really great too!

third is the honorable and mighty gMail. You may have noticed the fun new annoying badge that isn’t really the same size as the other badges. (how annoying.. OCD) well, i haven’t changed my email its still rlee at ethereal nation dot net, but that email now forwards to my gmail box for its sorting/conversation goodness

fourth in lieu of my google obsession/conversion i got the new google desktop and the helpful gmail notifier to make gmail my default email client. i also was able to really quickly import my contacts from plaxo (thank-you). though i’m not sure how that will work with gmail. probably will have to use it separately from now on.

FINALLY! i have officially finished the last three tracks of Our Souls Will See Farther Than Our Eyes. I have uploaded them and linked them to the album page. next on the musical tour, i will be developing some marketing materials and art, i might even press a few. i will then be working on a performance schema of some sort since i’m not totally comfortable sitting in front of my lappy pressing buttons while people watch. then i will have a record release party. i am also planning on launching marketing stuff on pure volume, last.fm, myspace.com and some other places that i may find along the way.

holy crap! if you don’t check this out, i’ll come to your house, knock over your door and leave. this is by far the most insane ephemera of downloadable awesome i have ever seen. Tactile 3d filebrowser

i went to bed considering the options of a slip and slide party the first weekend of may. i wake up to snow… SNOW… wtf? that’s right SNOW. i don’t think this negates the slip and slide necessarily. but seriously, sunday we were grilling out. no grilling out today. what’s up with that? i don’t know… weather.

in other news, i’m still working on finishing the album. i know i’m way past due but things keep popping up and there’s always school work. i did finish another song, but i’m going to wait to release it with the others that i’m working on.

in other other news, stay tuned. there’s a possibility of the box social III happening this easter weekend.
