Howdy folks. I've not been bloggin on here very much lately. Instead I've been spending all my free time on Facebook! I gotta say I'm addicted to it. It is amazing how many people are on here. Its like one big reunion. I'm sure after all the FB fanfare wears off I'll be back to posting blogs again. Right now I'm too bizzy catchin up with old friends.

American Idol - aka AI
So any of you out there following the Shawster Blog watch AI last night? I have to say I am an AI fan. Each year proves to be fun. I like the auditions and all the stupidness that goes with it. However, I think they could leave out the drama queens cause who cares about all their wining! After weeks of watching all the audition footage, its always a relief to see some talent finally emerge on the show. I got a good laugh out of the bikini bimbo last night! What was that? The horrible singers last night were quite funny. They act so serious like they are for real! I think AI pays them to go on there. Did anyone see the quick flash forward clip of a large pink bunny hugging Simon and picking him up?!? Ha ha I'm waiting to see that one!

2009 Hello!
Well welcome back to everyone and a happy new year to 2009. I enjoyed my trip back home to the frozen tundra of Illinois. Actually the temp's were not too bad. In fact, we had a tornado warning one day! Then it got cold after that passed through. Now I'm back to the grind and usual blah.
So as a graphic designer I have to get geeky from time to time. Apple had their keynote address last week, which I watched online. They are putting out a new 17" MacBook Pro later this month. I'm now oogling over it and want one! The new iLife 09 is pretty sweet as well. The new version of iPhoto has face recognition software integrated with in it. With it, you can make albums of each of your friends and it will automatically recognize each person's face when you add new photos and it will ask you if it is so and so. Then you can click yes or no and it will put all the same person in one folder. It can organize by person for you. Pretty cool! In the new version of Garage Band they have included music lessons for piano and guitar. You can learn how to play on your own through step by step instruction. Or, they have lessons taught by famous musicians on how to play one of their hit songs. So we all can learn how to play the guitar from John Fogarty! Ha Ha, kind of fun!
First Shout Out of 09:
So in my designer geekyness this past week I also found this, which is super cool. This is a story about a composer/researcher/programmer at Stanford named Ge Wang. He has created an orchestra called Stanford Laptop Orchestra which consists of folks that play their instruments on the computer. They use 20 MacBooks to compose and perform new music electronically. How cool is that! They even created their own speakers out of wooden salad bowls! Check it out here.
