Well my fist post since I’ve returned from Spain. There are lots of things going on behind the scenes, both at work and at home.

Samson will soon regain the ability to control the code of its website. We’re about to begin a new design (XHTML and CSS) which will hopefully be both web standards compliant and accessible. We’ll need to put this together before the middle of December when the rush for NAMM begins.

I’m off to St. Louis on Friday for my buddy Mark’s anual party. Then Mark and I are going to Rio de Janiero for a week. I still need to pick up my Visa from the Brazilian consulate in NYC, but other than that I pretty much ready for the trip. I’ll probably take most of the same stuff that I packed for the Spain trip, so it should’t be too hard to put it all together quickly.

Meanwhile Isabel is in the middle of the Atlanitc. No one is sure where or when or if this cat 5 storm will hit the east coast. We’ve got a few nice waves on the beach, but nothing like last weekend so far. By Wednesday or Thursday it should look like Hawaii here. So I’ve got to get the house “storm ready” before I leave. I’m theoretically far enough away from the shore that surge won’t be a factor, but the 200MPH wind thing might have some kind of shall we say impact on the area.
