Thank you for your patience.

Update 02-29-08

Sorry for the lack of updates for the last few days--been kinda busy with work and other things. If you'd like to see one of these 'other things', go to http://www.purevolume.com/embersofautumn. The song "At the Arcade" was for a weekly competition where a band (or solo act, such as myself) is given a week to write a complete song and record it. Seeing as I have poor recording equipment, a lack of knowledge of proper mixing, and no ability to synthesize drums, the song came out a little rough--but if you want to know what I did this week, you can take a listen.

More stuff on Monday, and Tuesday's "What We Learned" segment will be on NES Mario Games (Mario 1, 2, and 3). If you have any witty sayings or whatnot, let me know.

Update 02-26-08... Update

I received an email in the inbox for TheSortaMotivator@yahoo.com from an email address
that previously did not get through. I believe the tinkering I did with the spam control probably led to this. I'll openly say then that the address is back open for suggestions and/or comments.

If you send an email and do not get a response (for something that one would assume a response should be appropriate), feel free to comment on this particular message with your email address, and I will investigate further.

Thanks for your patience

Update 02-26-08

Just wanted to give a notice real quick.

It was brought to my attention that the email address TheSortaMotivator@yahoo.com has not been receiving ANY emails whatsoever. At first, I had assumed that none were sent, but a few individuals have contacted me to let me know they have tried to send emails. I'm investigating this problem and will post further notice when the email address is verifiably working again.

I apologize about this. Please check back tomorrow, if not later today, for notice of this being fixed, or for an update of status.

What We Learned From Musical Genres

Round 2 of our What We Learned project. This week, we are motivated by what we learn from musical genres. Few things separate high school cliques more than the style of music they listen to. Though it becomes less of a mark of identification as we get older, it still guides our thinking, helping us to form biases and opinions of others simply based on the music they listen to.

Well, let the biasing continue...
