* Happy birthday to felisdemens!

* I know, I still need to do my Pi-Con write-up. Soon, my pretties. Soon.

* Trying very, very hard to ignore the Criterion Collection sale going on at Amazon. It hurts.

* Has there ever been a sexier album recorded than Van Morrison's Astral Weeks? Just askin'.

* Shopping in earnest for a USB microphone so I can finally start recording stuff. Made the mistake of heading over to Radio Shack, which has planted the idea of getting a mixing board and all related doodads, which I CANNOT MANAGE AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU SATAN'S MINIONS OF IMPULSE SHOPPING, NOW GO AWAY PLEASE.

I'm curious to see what you find in terms of good recording mics -- some people I work with were just looking for a "Regular teleconferencing mic" and ended up picking the Snowball as their microphone of choice.

(Me? I use the one that came with Guitar Hero! ;)

Wait, does the Guitar Hero thing actually work? That might be all I need.

If it's USB (I have Guitar Hero for the Wii, which came with a USB Mic), then it should. It might not be as sensitive as you want, but then again, it might be. (Only one way to find out! ;)
