Renée Fleming concert

Just got back from the Bass Concert Hall, it was definitely one of the best concerts I’ve been ever… Almost as good as the Itzhak Perlman one last year.

As usual I especially liked the encores, she started with probably the most famous aria; “O mio babbino caro”, that was my favorite piece of the entire night. Other encores were, (I think), “Caecilie” by Richard Strauss, Roger and Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, and maybe something else I can’t remember.

Not a bad way to spend a Wed evening and $10 (UT Student Rush tickets!!). 🙂

Sound in Safari

Doesn’t seem like there is an easy way to turn off sound in Safari. I don’t think I’ve ever embedded an mp3 or midi in any of the pages I created, except maybe to test out that HTML tag when I first read about it in high school. But girls seem to like that, well, 2 of my models got blogs or pages that have music. It’s cool and all, but I think when people do that, they should use an applet instead of using the HTML embed tag, this way people can mute or pause the song, like the flash player Fred Wilson started using about a week ago.

So Ken Trading can’t sell the MM20 anymore because Panerai sued them in Japan, but Orient Time can! Awesome! Maybe I’ll really pick one up this time!

They should really have a secure order form though, I don’t like sending my CC info in plain text.
