Happy Equinox!

Earth reaches the autumnal equinox at 4:44 p.m. Sunday, marking the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

I had never heard this acronym before. I was so pleased to discover it because it puts a name to the experience. This morning I was beating my n00b head against the wall, trying to track down a problem with my Dreamhost account. I read this -- Troubleshooting the Infamous 500 Internal Server Error P...

Were you a FOD? (Friend of Denny) Then you might be interested in our virtual End of Summer party. This is sort of a prelude to the Denny CD project, but feel free to jump in even if you aren't planning to contribute any music to the CD. The website is www.horsetailnebula.com The page looks like thi...

(hi folks, after having been away for a while!) I think the point of this video is more to make fun of the TED talks than it is to make comments about social media. That really is how a typical TED talk goes! http://www.birdbrainsandlunacy.com/Postables/chiff2013/imitationTED.jpg Here's the TED they...

It's kind of cool as I'm into shamanic type instruments. :thumbsup: What else do you play? I'd like to get a berimbau one of these days... Well the didge arrived in the mail today. http://www.birdbrainsandlunacy.com/Postables/chiff2013/NewDidge.jpg It's not made of PVC. It's some sort of plant matt...

It's something I read about as a way to improve your breathing...that got me interested, and next thing I know I found one on sale at Amazon.com :lol: So I know absolutely zero about it. How did you get started learning? It is a unique, primal sound. In some ways it reminds me of a synthesizer, too.

I'm learning how to do designs on emu egg shells! They are great for artwork because the shell has a dark outer layer and a lighter inner layer. Here's my first attempt. http://www.birdbrainsandlunacy.com/Postables/chiff2013/MomEgg1.jpg http://www.birdbrainsandlunacy.com/Postables/chiff2013/MomEgg2....

Anybody here play one?

That wee streak of bright yellow is pretty striking; reminds me of a tilak. If they keep hanging around, I might start calling them Guru Birds in your honor. :) Tilak -- I'll add that word to my vocabulary :thumbsup: http://radhekrishna.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Picture3-302x300.png http://rad...

Here's the Emu Update -- ALL THREE of the Maryland eggs turned out to be duds. Even the third one, which I thought had "evidence of metabolism" because of a distinctly warmer zone. After a week or so the zone disappeared. Once the egg ran past its hatch date, I drilled a tiny hole in the a...

Thanks for that! Gorgeous!! I've only been to San Diego once in my life. As a life-long Easterner, the first thing that struck me was the color of the sky. That shade of blue just doesn't occur here. The sunlight / shadows seemed different too -- everything more sharp-edged -- as if it had been film...
