Haydn in Inwood

April 26th, 2009 | 0 Comments | Music |

Hid­den up in Inwood, the neigh­bor­hood at the very north­ern tip of Man­hat­tan, is this won­der­ful church, the Church of the Good Shep­herd. I just got back from per­form­ing Haydn’s “Missa in Augustii” (aka the Lord Nel­son Mass) with Rich Stout and his Cor­ner­stone Chorale. What a great place to play! The stone barrel-vault sanc­tu­ary lends a three-second rever­ber­a­tion time, and every­thing sounds won­der­fully warm.

External Storage, Part 4

April 16th, 2009 | 0 Comments | Tech Stuff |

The amount of plea­sure I got just from flip­ping through last summer’s Philadel­phia and Ocean Grove vaca­tion pho­tos was tremen­dous. Not as good as the vaca­tions them­selves, but pretty darn good nonetheless.

External Storage, Part 3

April 16th, 2009 | 0 Comments | Tech Stuff |

In which it gets really sucky. Last sum­mer I wrote about my new Buf­falo TeraS­ta­tion, a half-terabyte of net­work stor­age that I inher­ited from the office. I quickly moved my entire photo archive over, and started using it as adver­tised. A week or so ago it stopped respond­ing. I couldn’t get the shares up on […]
