Finally An Update Pt. 2

Hello everybody. I am finally getting around to another update. I know blogs are supposed to be updated daily or somewhere near daily but this has proved to be an impossible task for me as of late. A lot has been going on so let me clue you in as to what has been happening.

Jackie and I got back from "The Northern Estate" last night. We had a good time and just relaxed for the most part. We arrived there on Thursday evening. Jack's parents Norm and Sass came up on Friday night. On Saturday night we went over to Jack's Uncle Dennis and Aunt Barb's house down the road. A lot of Jack's cousins were there and I won't name them all as I am bound to forget someone and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but they are all great people and it was good to see them. I didn't take any of my usual "toys" with me such as musical instruments, shortwave radio, ect. but I did get a chance to listen to my XM radio on the way up there.

I got laid off from my job two Friday's ago. This is probably a good thing since I now have more time to clean and straighten up the condo being that it is up for sale. We have had quite a few people come through the condo to look at it since it has been up on the market and it is very encouraging. Hopefully we can sell it in the not so distant future and we can concentrate on buying a house.

Now that I am laid off I will have to wait for a little while before I can buy the Paia P9700S modular synthesizer kit that I wrote about last time. I am really looking forward to getting it and putting it all together. I really like getting projects like that and soldering everything together and learning about the electronics involved. It will be alot of fun to be able to sit down with the finished modular synthesizer and experiment.

I have been studying and reading a lot about Leonardo Da Vinci lately. To me Da Vinci has always been the Patron Saint of Creativity. It is amazing to me that someone could be so prolific and productive in so many areas and I have always loved his art. My favorite artist though is still Hieronymous Bosch. I would love to know where he got his visions from. There is nothing to compare to his paintings. I have included some Da Vinci and Bosch painting below for you all to view.

I updated both my main webpage and my download page today. I posted the first ten tracks from "A Beautiful Morning" on the download page. Enough about this music shit. This blog is for other things.

Well done on a nice blog Jeff Archer. I was searching for information on Leonardo da Vinci biography and came across your post Finally An Update Pt. 2 - not quite what I was looking for related to Leonardo da Vinci biography but very interesting all the same!

Well we're already into 2006 and I wish you all the best. I'm doing a lot of original work on Leonardo, including looking in detail at the technical drawings of machines and human anatomy. We're also publishing a detailed analysis of the Last Supper and Annunciation, which should be quite interesting.

If you do have a moment, please take a look at our latest galery on: Leonardo da Vinci .

Wishing you well in the new year! Amon
