two-for one split

As you can tell from the lack of posts I've moved on, or sideways. Combining work designs with politics and music does not work and the split has been made. My work blog is now at http://maccadd-design-blog.blogspot.com/ and it will be a design page showing off some of the designs I get to work on. I will try to add one new project every day.

My political and music exploring will continue at http://generational-theft.blogspot.com/ and I'm going to try not rag on BO without posting something good about music. Probably won't be much action on here but it will be the outlet I need.

See ya.

split level

Additions to split levels are extremely difficult and it's easy to see how "just throw up some walls with trusses" grows into doing something that actually looks good. Stay tuned.

surprise visitors

Yesterday, a couple of young visitors were munching on the holly bush and then spent the next hour or two in the neighbors yard.

moving forward

Good luck to the new administration and I agreed with most of the empty vapor that was flashed across t.v. screens last night. But in spite of all of his good intentions BO is left with a corrupt, misguided Senate that will contiue to drag this country into kaos. Come on, how much money can they print?

Our country's chances of success would be greatly improved if we did not listen to the partisan hacks that have got us into this mess. Including but not limited to HReid, CDodd, JReed, CSchumer, CShays, BBoxer, Fienstien, TKennedy, BFrank, and on. All of them voted for the war, had direct ties to Fannie Mac, take big gulps of pork and accept money from people that they are supposed to be overseeing. Then add in AFranken, SWhitehouse and you-know CKennedy to whip up this recipe for disaster. None of them would understand doing what is right only care about public opinion pols and always ask "what's in it for me."

The misguided notion that government will save this country continues. Is anyone really surprised that government payroll now surpasses manufacturing payroll in this country?

rehoboth madness

What started as a house for downsizing grew into a larger than life dream house.

buy 'em if you see 'em alert

This past season there was a limited version of Nirvana's In Utero available at most music retailers. Hard core fans have found out this [edited] version contains the original Scott Litt mix of three songs that were previously only available on the Pennyroyal Tea cd single that was recalled back '92. Check your local music stores for the version pictured below and look for 1.) turtle on the back cover, no graphic details. 2.) Waif Me is listed in upper right hand corner instead of the original title, Rape Me. 3.) UPC has 0527 at the end. The cd's are still available cheap but disappearing quickly. Good luck.
