view from a driveway
sometimes when i leave for work in the morning and i haven't taken a photo for the blog yet i scramble to find something to photograph on the drive down. granted, living on lookout mountain means that most of the time this isn't too difficult, especially if i get an early enough start. this is the view looking east from our driveway, pulling out onto mcfarland road. basically, at any ponit between 7 and 8 am you're guaranteed a pretty breathtaking view of both the sun rising and the fog lifting out of the valley. its hard to believe that i sometimes go entire weeks without appreciating this simple beauty just outside our front door.

from the things-i-wanna-plug department: grandaddy is cool. so is bishop allen. and so is the apple iTunes music store for selling me both of them. yeesh. oh, trillian is cool too. i finally caved and bought the professional version this week, and not because the freebie version isn't good. its just such a quality product i felt compelled to support the developers. now they just need to port it for OS X.
Posted by andy at February 13, 2004 08:43 AMApple has suckered me into buying Quicktime Pro. Why? I dunno. Because Apple is this damn blackhole of freakin' sexy looking products that just screams at me "YOU WANNA-BE HIPSTER PRICK YOU OWE IT TO US TO GIVE US YOUR MONEY! SUPPORT THE ARTS! SCREW MACDONALDS"
Well, I dunno about that Macdonald's part. But damn if I don't mind slidin' my cash on over to Apple for whatever.
I actually made an executive decision that April & I are only drinking Pepsi products so we can get as many free songs off of iTunes. I hate Pepsis mind you.
Posted by: JosiahQ at February 13, 2004 08:49 AMnice stuff. stumbled across your pages o' history searching for old CC peeps. i like the browse factor here, but to keep consistent, the ipod even better (those things are sick!!)
I see your bro tim & family here in ATL on sundays, montgomeries are everywhere. keep on preaching, just dropped a line b/c people are reading.
cheers.
Okay, this has nothing really to do with ipods except that I'm throwing Jes a huge Asian Birthday Party tonight and we are all set down to Wasabi Peas and homemade fortune cookies (time consuming) but we don't have any Asian tunes to throw on...so if you have any favorite or especially entertaining Asian party music that comes to mind, please pass along the info...and I'll be on my way to buy the itunes. Thanks friends.
Anything from the Monsoon Wedding soundtrack is quite danceable. It's Indian, and I dunno if that's the Asian you're looking for, but it's all catchy and whatnot.
