My new eKeys 37-key keyboard. I bought it so that I can learn to play the piano and have more fun w/Garageband. The music teacher software is Windows-only, which means I have to drag out the icky old Dell to lean my lessons. The keys are also pretty small for big fat fingers like mine. However, the lessons work well and I've learned a bit already. Beware! I may soon know enough to torture you with my own compositions!

PIWIT: I just caught up with some recent archives at digital obscura and I highly recommend you visit for some truly great shots. For example, today's photo is a cool study in depth of focus and something I don't think I could do w/my camera. This shot of Adams Morgan captures a sweet reflection, and this July Self-Portrait is just cool—subtle, understated, and probably because I'm familiar w/the location it evokes Washington D.C. for me. Very nice.
