I’ve been playing with Ableton again, this time with some old favorites from 1989.

There is an Arctic cold front coming in tomorrow, which means temperatures are due to drop – a lot. Weather Underground is saying “Partly cloudy. Cold with lows 5 below to 17 below zero.

In other news I’ve finally fallen in the clutches of Facebook . It’s quite fun finding out what’s been happening to people that I haven’t contacted for 15 years.

OK, I’m almost happy with how the front page is looking, but there are still some details that need to be sorted out, however I’m going to start on the content pages now.

Not much to say really, just want to add another page so I can see how some of the more advanced parts of the design work, such as this big picture of us clearing the snow from the Beetle. Celeste did not use the snow thrower on the Beetle, honest.
