The Week’s End

Becky and I celebrated Valentine’s Day last night by babysitting for some old clients of hers. Not to worry, of course, we have already got next weekend set aside as a belated Valentine’s gift. We are going to see Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony Orchestra premiere Tan Dun’s work, The Map. They will also be performing some works by Cage, Britten, and Shostakovich. On Saturday we will be attending some of the events surrounding this premiere. And we will be staying for the weekend at the Westin Copley Place, right in the heart of downtown Boston.

As for this weekend… today Becky’s at work for the morning, and has another babysitting gig in the evening. I’m heading down to Westwood, MA for the Cambridge SoundWorks Warehouse Sale. If they have some reasonable deals, we may end up with a new sound system… if not, no big loss.

Gallery

I’ve changed the way the gallery looks just a bit - now whenever you go into the gallery, the Peter + Becky picture disappears. It was looking a little too busy there with that picture and then the regular pictures from the album all cramped together.

Gallery Integration!!

Take a look at our photo gallery. Notice anything different? Yeah! Now it looks like the rest of the site!

I finally took two seconds to read the documentation that came with Gallery, and there’s a really easy way to do it… so easy that I had a ‘duh’ moment all to myself. Well anyway. There you go - a little Valentine’s treat for all our readers!

Enjoy!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello all! Welcome to the Valentine’s Day Edition of World Wide Wood!

I would like to wish a happy Valentine’s Day to my wonderful wife Rebecca. We have been together for two years and five months, and we have been married for just under four of those months. Every minute continues to be better than the one before, and I can’t think of any more wonderful person to spend my life with. What a wonderful deal, to spend the rest of one’s life with one’s best friend.

To My Becky, With Love.

I think considering news like this, it’s important to also read “news” like this.

J700 - S900 Transplant Pics

If you were following my old blog, you may remember that I recently upgraded my J700 into a tricked-out S900. Well, I’ve sold some of the J700’s remaining parts, but before I sent them off, I decided to document them and make a little gallery of the transplanting of the J700 into the S900:

The Transplant

Is that you, baby?

I’ve discovered quite an interesting picture of me on Corey’s page:

Who is that?

Dude, you’re getting… arrested!

This is a couple days old, but I figured I’d report it here in case you had not heard. Benjamin Curtis (aka Dell Dude “Steven”) was arrested on Sunday on criminal possession of marijuana. He’s been released, and is being given a year to stay on good behavior. They’ll dismiss the case if he stays clean for the year.

Story is here on CNN:
