Kind of. DanielR had to take down the blog because NeoPhi was getting hammered by spam crawlers, so blog.neophi.com is down for the time being. I had this old Blogger setup from before the b2Evolution days, so I figured I'd just start updating it again. Hopefully the b2Evo posts will come back someday, and I'll be able to migrate them over. To this, or something else.

At any rate, a few things have happened. Bob Moog died [NYT obit], about which I'm pretty sad. My father has an original vinyl version of Wendy Carlos' Switched On Bach, which vaulted her and Moog to prominence, and proved that synths could be used for "serious" music. I haven't heard that record in years, but I sure remember it getting heavy rotation when I was a kid.

Sucks.

There was also this crazy raid on a rave in Utah. I must say I'm pissed all out of proportion about this, and I really hope the PR disaster that's brewing (for the Utah County cops) sweeps 'em up and leaves 'em wondering where their M16s went.

video, and info. Draw your own conclusions.

That's it for now. I'm pissed, and tired at the same time.
