just found this cool app via the TUAW Flickr photo pool. Nocture is a schweet little app (from the makers of one of my other favorite apps, Quicksilver) that can change your monitor settings so it looks like the classic green screen CRTs or, how I’m using it now, to make it more night vision friendly. Shades of red and orange don’t mess with your night vision as much as most colors. So, I told Nocturne to use a shade of red. It also inverts the images (black->white white->black) so it gets even darker.
     I’m using it as I type. So far I really like it. Check it out, and download Quicksilver too, it’s sooo useful.

     Now for the less geeky bit. Dad got tickets for my trip up to Solarfest. I leave on the Monday before (the 9th), and fly back down here the 18th (wednesday after SF). So come find me, I’ll be in the rush of crowds, most likely taking pictures or something for Haley’s mom

I’ll have my pictures up when I get to a point that I want (and have time) to sort them out and put them up.

For those who aren’t aware, Solarfest is both about renewable energy and music, and this Canadian band Ember Swift was really really cool. They stayed at the farmhouse, but I didn’t know until they left. Check ‘em out and CHECK OUT SOLARFEST 2007!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday they come down here, and some of them will be staying at my house.

have the macbook again, hehe. Soo much fun. The cool part is running windows inside of mac.

Ok, so that’s not windows, it’s linux. But, windows does work. And nicely at that, too. If your wondering what program that is, it’s at parallels.com. They have it for Windows and Linux, too.

Village
Harmony, the unique world music ensemble composed of young singers from throughout Vermont and neighboring states, presents their Spring Concert Tour!

The concert program includes rhythmic traditional songs and dances from South Africa, arresting village music from Bulgaria and Caucasus Georgia, contemporary and traditional American shape-note songs, and Easter hymns and motets from the early baroque, from Bulgarian and Georgian Orthodox traditions, and from early America.

That’s not all, They’re coming to North Carolina!!!! That’s right, I get to see my cousin and David on April 14. Theres some other places in NC they’ll be, but the one nearest us is 404 Alexander Ave., Durham, NC. Check out the Village Harmony sites for more details, and if your a North Carolininan that enjoys cool music, check it out!

More details, info, and pics as the 14 approaches. The cool thing is the 14′s a teacher workday for me!!!
