Creative displays of art

This video captured my eyes and my heart. The creative genius going into making this video is just astounding. Congrats to the people involved. If you look at the sheer volume of what they did, the setup, the presentation, and the fact that they were able to emulate such water-like fluidity with more than just a simple design was what really captured the tone of this wonderful video.

Wow.

A failure to notice is the surprise

I just found out today I had my left and right speaker inputs switched. I probably didn’t noticed because I switched them on my speakers and in the line out from my computer so that essentially created a double negative, and I never noticed… maybe. I’m sure I’ve noticed before but had issues figuring out why and forgot to deal with it.

Well today I noticed one of my speakers wasn’t working and found the problem, a loose connection. Before finding out the source of the problem, I messed around w/ the left and right channels on my receiver as well as messing around w/ headphones to check as well. Since one channel wasn’t working, switching to receiver to the right channel only should’ve made it only output from the left channel, but the right channel was playing.

Luckily, this was all an easy fix. Since the issue was the analog output from my computer, switched that in my output box. This explains why the optical output to my other receiver didn’t experience this issue. Then I had to go to my receiver and switch which wire was going to which channel and now it works properly. Awesome.

Oh my gosh is this blog actually dead for once

I have not forgotten about it and still intend to go back through all the posts and fix things up, but I have to get the business’s website completed in full before I can allot times to other tasks. I long to continue in writing the five books I’ve been working on so that one may see publication by the end of the year. If I worked everyday for a month like I have this month, I could easily have finished one or two of these books by now.

Filter that in with the fact that owning a business means having to work on the business might make all of this all that much harder. In fact, I started two businesses, one with four departments, and one, a non-profit organization seeking to give people an opportunity, the same opportunity I was able to do for the UMKC DDR Club, now as the group 4-Panel Footprint made up of one former DDR Club member and two people from Colorado, one of them being co-owner of the company assisting me with the information needed to start it. He will also be flying out to Kansas City for this year’s Irish Fest, 4-Panel Footprint’s first official event. Rake this in with all of the stuff I need to do and my priorities begin to lose form.
