Yoshi’s 10PM Tickets Still Available December 13, 2006
Posted by onemouthband in : SoVoSo , add a commentYes, the 8PM SoVoSo show at Yoshi’s sold out. It sold out minutes after a KPFA interview last Thursday morning. It sold out so quick that I didn’t even have time to get tickets for my parents or my girlfriend first. But the good news is that the 10PM show still has some open seats for the moment, and those are only $10. Get yours now!

Posted by onemouthband in : Music, SoVoSo , add a comment
Looks like I’ll be on the air tonight on my very favorite radio station, KPFA 94.1FM to promote the upcoming SoVoSo holiday show at Yoshi’s. Tune in to Transitions On Traditions with Greg Bridges for his introspective mix of “jazz, blues, spoken word, & then some” at 8PM. I’ll be on with Zoe Ellis around 8:30 or so. Thanks for listening!
Radio Interview KKUP December 2, 2006

If you’re in the south bay this Tuesday (12/5/2006) at 5:30 PM, tune into 91.5 FM when KKUP has a live on-air interview with me and Zoe Ellis from SoVoSo to talk about our upcoming Yoshi’s performance. Afrikahn Jahmal Dayvs, the resident Jazzhead, will host. As great as this community radio station is, they are not broadcasting on the net, sorry.
Opensource & free software that’s actually good!
Posted by onemouthband in : Mac, Recommendations, Tech , add a comment
Somtimes there’s some software apps out there that really are free, and really are good! Think All is putting together bundles of unbelievably useful software and “selling” it for the $2.95 UPS shipping cost to get you the discs.
I’ve been a fan of OpenOffice 2.0 Office Suite for a while, it’s a replacement for Microsoft Office that I much prefer. Of course Firefox has been my browser of choice for over a year now, and Think All’s CD of it comes with Calendar too. Audacity Music Editing Studio is about as straightforward and simply useful audio editor you will ever find. I just ordered Gimp 2 Photo & Image Studio and some other nifty computer library items: 4500 Greatest Photos and 700 Greatest Fonts.
One of the best things about almost all these FREE softwares is that they work on both Mac and PC. So even though I’m mid-switch and expect to be working with both platforms (and Ubuntu) for the forseeable future, it’s the same software on either side. It’s a good time to check out this, and Think All’s other software offerings, as they look like they are just in a promotional period and may start charging sometime.
Up late reading blog posts? December 1, 2006

Then read these 40 amazing sleep facts from Austrailia’s National Sleep Research Center.
Here’s a sampling:
Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you’re sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you’re still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.
To drop off we must cool off; body temperature and the brain’s sleep-wake cycle are closely linked. That’s why hot summer nights can cause a restless sleep. The blood flow mechanism that transfers core body heat to the skin works best between 18 and 30 degrees. But later in life, the comfort zone shrinks to between 23 and 25 degrees - one reason why older people have more sleep disorders.
Diaries from the pre-electric-light-globe Victorian era show adults slept nine to 10 hours a night with periods of rest changing with the seasons in line with sunrise and sunsets.
