New Steve Hackett CD

BEYOND THE SHROUDED HORIZON showed up here today.  Initial reaction: Stunning as usual.  2 CD collection of new material.  Innovation is a word he knows well.

In this age of BAD NEWS, there are few artists that are consistent in providing new AURAL entertainment.  I can name two that are consistent:  STEVE HACKETT AND DREAM THEATER.   

Hackett is of couse the lead Guitar of Genesis that went on a solo career in 1977.  He is in his 60's and produces incredible prog rock and classical pieces.  He does classical and pays tribute to those before the year 1920.  

Check it out.  Still new to me but this is a track record I will bet on.

OCCUPY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Barbarians at the gates.  Software development is no longer a smoke filled backroom enterprise.  We all need to become very vocal about what we are served here in our digital prisons.  G-Mail was just changed NOT to my liking.  Here is my feedback to the great "G" in the sky."  I meant the following comment to set the engineering folks on their heads:

"Signature GOOGLE lack of intuitive human behavior.  Give it up to Apple.  Engineers versus People."

Make it all Apple easy.  And Apple isn't as easy as it could be.

MEXICO: Diving with Great White Sharks

MEXICO.  The term brings a lot of pleasant terms to mind.  Cancun, Cozumel, Acapulco, Sun, Ruins, Archeology, Corona, FOOD!, Hot Sauce, Tortillas, Kailua, Tequila and Mescal.  Add Guadalupe and Great White Sharks to your associations.  200 miles off the Pacific Coast.  20 hours from Ensenada after crossing from a two hour bus ride via a quick transfer in San Diego.

Just got back from the Guadalupe Island destination that has more Seals and Sea Lions than humans.  What a thrill!   Check out the following video as exhibit one in "The Great White Shark Gallery."  No fear, no "danger," no EGO.  Anybody can do this.  You can do this.  DISNEY?  FUGGETABOUTIT! 

More to come.
