This American Life

I saw a few episodes of this visual version of the NPR series during the first season. I have to say, they were beautifully shot and engaging pieces. No doubt. My only problem, as with the audio version, is that if you don't engage with the subject matter at the beginning, it can get old - fast. So, if you decide to give it a shot, be prepared to pay attention. (It's worth it.)

Here's the preview:

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
