Eye-catchingly artificial:

Maybe the artificial version of the leaf cd will be better appreciated by a different friend:

Haystacks, on the go.

(This episode was intended to have a delayed release, but certainly wasn’t intended to be released exclusively, in case that’s how things went down.

Please excuse any irregularities while I’m finding my podcasting sea legs.)

[I won’t be uploading any more edited full episodes until I can get my hands on a functioning computer, but I’ve already recorded some stuff that I’d intended to be a little rougher around the edges, so I’ll post that stuff on Mondays while I’m on vacation, starting later today.

The following is the original text post I made when I discovered that my laptop could no longer do what I needed it to do. -HK]

You know, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum:

When I went over to my laptop this morning to edit the audio on this update episode, the jumbled, Matrix-code-like image displayed on the screen was something I’d never seen before, and could do without ever seeing again. I would post a photo of that screen, actually, but my computer has crashed and won’t turn on now.

•<{{Rest in peace, old laptop; you were a steady steed through many journeys and adventures, and I thank you for your service.}}>•

But, you, listener, can be certain that I’m not done doing what I’m doing, which was already explained in this audio file that I can’t convert to .wav format or edit without my computer, so have attached to this text post instead.

Nice try, universe, but you’re going to have to do better than that.

Besides, I needed a vacation anyway😉

I did give that compliment to the coworker who plays guitar, and we had a great, authentic conversation after I gave it, so I could tell from his response that he'd accepted the positivity that I was hoping to transmit.

But, rest assured that there's a lot more to this story, as always.
