Wednesday night we had a huge, noisy crowd with lots of people I don't know; I mostly hid in the office. A few conversations with old friends.

I'm learning a new song, which sometimes means new chords. In this case it's A9 and Am9. Both of which can be faked with my old friend Asus2, but that loses the 3rd that makes the difference between major and minor. Getting there. I also copied a bunch of my song lyrics from steve.savitzky.net to tempered-glass.info. The two sites have different naming conventions, which makes it slightly complicated. I'll need to do a lot of web work over the weekend.

Lots of good progress at work; it feels good to be finally making some.

Lots of links under the cut.
