The 2005 year-end music mix is here. Wo0t!
If you would like a copy of it on CD, for yourself or a friend, email me (via the link over on the right).
If you only plan to rip the CD onto your iPod, don’t. Some of the songs were encoded from mp3, and if you re-encode them to mp3, they will sound like crap. You can get the high-quality mp3s directly.
To download the entire mix as one big zip file, go here. [UPDATE: this link no longer works.]
To download the mix via bittorrent (encouraged), you’ll need a bittorrent client. A very easy-to-use, easy-to-set-up client can be found here.
Once your client is set up, just go here, click “download the torrent,” and tell it where to save the mix. [UPDATE: Wow, it’s been downloaded 2368 times from that site.]
If you happen to be a member of the Oink bittorrent community, you can also download the mix here. [UPDATE: This link no longer works either.]
If you run into problems or have any questions, email me. And of course I’d love to hear your feedback about the music.
Enjoy!
You will note that my personal blogging petered out last year, about the time my kid turned one (coincidence!).
However, I still write a lot for my job. If you’d like to read about environmental issues, check out Grist the magazine for which I work, and especially Gristmill, the blog for which I write.
I have lots and lots more pictures of Grip and Huck on Flickr.
As sharp-eyed readers will note, we stopped keeping our “omg we have kids!” journal in the middle of last year. At that point, actual parenting caught up with us.
However, we’ve been keeping something like a journal (mostly pictures, but some reflections too) in the form of occasional emails to a mailing list composed of the boys’ families and fan clubs.
If you’d like to receive such pictures, you can sign up or browse the archives here:

Here’s a nifty page that shows a new set of my current Flickr photos each time you refresh.
I ported a few sets of pictures over from the old site:
The Sasquatch Music Festival from May 2003.
A trip to D.C. and NYC with my little brother Dan and Jen’s friend Laura, from March 2003.
London, Amsterdam & Brussels, and Paris, from my November 2002 honeymoon.
Suzanne’s Amazon.com retirement party from October 2002.
