At the risk of sounding like an old fogey:

I’m really uncomfortable with that career meme going around.

The site you’re all visiting is a pay website used by a professional career counselor to help his/her clients. It seems obvious to me that someone who used the site is sharing a proprietary username and password to allow others to access it, and that info is now all over the Web.

If you read the info on the site, it seems to me that the person/company that runs it intends for it to be used by professional career counselors with their clients after paying a fee to use it.

Now, I don’t know all the ramifications, but it smells slightly unethical to me to use the site this way.


the new Duende CD

Just completed a marathon writing and recording session for the new CD. Of the 15 or so poem/music pieces under consideration, we managed to get solid, usable takes for 10 of them. We only had three written when we started the session.

Fatigue had set in before we finished and it felt like we were getting sloppy, so we called it and decided to finish up next weekend.

Having Chris act as full time producer and engineer is a phenomenally good move, as it frees us to work and adds a pair of objective ears.

We’re not going to be doing the new version of “Punk” on Wednesday at the Cantab. I need to be more comfortable playing rhythm on electric before we use it.

I’m so excited about this work. It’s a new level, and I think the show on October 6 will be something else.
