Unable to record with the air conditioner on my wonderful attic abode becomes a sweltering hot box under the twin assaults of Flat Screens and Sun. This is not the best option but it is the only option I have at this time for recording. 

I close everything up, turn on the air, turn off the computer and go to a movie. Come back and I can get an hour in or so before it just becomes too hot. This really forces recording and editing and writing into very early or very late times. 

Well back to the war. 

]]>Major Webpage Overhaulhttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/7/19/major-webpage-overhaul.html[Dan Christensen]2010-07-19T23:47:27ZBlogs Dan Christensen Lions Road The Fire SkyGot all the web pages sorted out and the graphics and fonts standardized between sections. That took a boat load of work but I'm glad it's done. Still a few bits on the menues to sort out but I'll get it. It just takes time. 

Now the good news is both podcast are going very well. I'm in podcast heaven and I have a new microphone that is both sexy and makes my voice sounds sexy... what's not to like about that I ask you. 

Every day is a day I learn, and every day I create is a day I love being on this earth. 

Dan - Creative = Bad

Dan + Creative = Good.

Good news is I been getting email feedback from people on podcast and blog and that feels awesome as well. 

 

]]>Getting Back Into High Gearhttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/6/29/getting-back-into-high-gear.html[Dan Christensen]2010-06-29T17:53:31ZFeel the old momentum coming back. Finished fire sky podcast episode and working on Lions Road episode for tonight. After I get done with that I'm going to decide what to do with the bus blog. Hmmm 

]]>Bad Sleephttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/6/23/bad-sleep.html[Dan Christensen]2010-06-23T16:13:10ZA combination of bad sleep, poor planning and tech issues have slow my podcasting efforts. All that has changed today. Got my Lions Road podcast done and now I'm onto the latest episode of Fire Sky. I feel great about having got so much done so far today. Feel like things are on an upswing. 

Hold on!

 

]]>Getting Closerhttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/5/24/getting-closer.html[Dan Christensen]2010-05-24T22:54:18ZEvery day I'm moving closer to what I would like to call the perfect life. I live simple I don't have earth shattering dreams. I want to podcast, tell stories, drive bus and be happy. I'm moving closer to that with each breath. Getting lions road going is a big part of that. I'm so very happy that it's coming together. 

Adding a little bit each day.

]]>WOWhttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/5/20/wow.html[Dan Christensen]2010-05-20T14:34:51ZJust fallen out of the habit of posting. THat sort of sucks because I was posting all the time a few months back. I think what happens is as I get going the post grow in size until I font feel like postig. Sucks. So I thought I would just get back into it. 

]]>Turtles all the way down studiohttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/4/14/turtles-all-the-way-down-studio.html[Dan Christensen]2010-04-14T18:04:08ZSetting up the studio as been slow in that as soon as I got it outlined and just set up I started working on the next episode of firesky. I now have a few day free time and I'm going to get the other mics hooked up in the next day. My goal is to have it up and running by my vacation next week. 

I very much want to come back and start recording the Lions Road podcast as well. That will be very very fun. 

Until then keep your fingers crossed. 

]]>What a weeK!http://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/4/4/what-a-week.html[Dan Christensen]2010-04-04T15:38:32Zready to sit down on monday and give recording my focus. Lots of changes coming. THe new studio will rock the world. and I will rock with it. Very happy with progress. Fixing a little bit each day and when it comes together you will hear me shout out the window.

Just finished reading talent is overrated. wow! what a book. I ended and just turned around and decided to start reading it over. Very very good. For all those out there who think they are not worthy it's time to get this book in your head.

Todays mission is to go to my friends Zoe Bacons and take some pics to scout it for a film project for a friend. 

Then off to work. 

It's my Friday and I'm so ready for a day off it's sick. 

]]>Procrastination Is The Enemy, Constant Motion Is the Curehttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/4/2/procrastination-is-the-enemy-constant-motion-is-the-cure.html[Dan Christensen]2010-04-02T17:47:42ZHey hey working hard on setting up studio. Got the lay out of the room down and now I'm setting up the hardware and computers. I know I will end up changing it sometime but for now. Nothing says boring like cable 1 into slot 2 and mics and all more cables and printers and more cables and monitors and yes even more cables. 

I think everyone in the field of creativity fights procrastination it starts with Pro because we are all so dang good at it by the time we are adult. Everything you can do is procrastination if you trying to do something else. Keeping focused is really keeping things in order. An order that lets you focus on what needs to be done when it needs to be done so that you can do what you want when you want to do it. 

 

]]>Setup hiccuphttp://sonnetoptics.net/journal/2010/4/1/setup-hiccup.html[Dan Christensen]2010-04-01T15:44:09ZStill setting up but don't feel like doing much writing. So to keep at it I wrote a bus blog. Have not been doing much bus blogging. Not sure where it fits in. Still working on finding a place I'm happy with it. Think I may cut it down to small post more often. I like the big post but I think they can be a bit much. 

Ok when I said I was setting up the new studio I didn't mean really working hard at it. I do a little every day and some days, like today I do very very little. This has left me with little time to write and little progress on the office. 

So form now on.

Early morning 2 hours of writing

Then what ever time I have left setting up, until it's all done.

My goal is to be recording by next monday on my Day off.
