BuyMusic, BuyMusic, BuyMusic. No thanks; I’ll just stick to buying Naxos CD’s at the local B&N.

In one of those droll instances of markup synchronicity, Webtek Systems — that unparalleled master of aesthetic HTML and heart-rending poetry — shares a name with Webtek Design. Both sites are equally beautiful.
(Geocities sites, both of them, unfortunately, so bandwidth limits may delay your pleasure.)
I’m reminded of Simplesight.
Update: Two of the Webtek links were misspelled. Try them now. Revel in the wonders of Webtek’s profound verse.

Psalm v.23.2
“…And my beverage container exhibits inadequate volumetric parameters.”
Now that’s a translation to beat Eugene Peterson’s The Message any day.
iBook Resurrection
Wednesday night was long and late, but very much worth it: I trekked down to the Clarendon Apple Store, where the Genius Bar looked over my iBook and replaced my battery — for free on warranty! It is really good to have a charge lifespan of four hours again, rather than ten minutes.
Two potentially useful OS X freeware apps: LiFTP, simple freeware FTP client; and ThumbsUp, quick and easy drag-and-drop image thumbnail generator.
2 Domains and a Dog
AntiFaust.com is a new blog by an old friend. Old, as in, from my grade school days. Yeah, we’re old.

Farewell, Brother Dunne
Brother James P. Dunne, high school guidance counselor and irreplaceable mentor to the Days With the Lord spiritual retreat in Ateneo, passed away yesterday. Bro. Dunne was a pillar of the Days experience and an inspiration to the entire Ateneo community. You could never miss him in our high school days, a huge Catholic Scotsman, limping through the school halls with formidable cane in hand, his body wracked by sclerosis but his spirit filled with the peace and joy of Christ.
My most vivid memory of Bro. Dunne did not come from my Days experience itself, but from some months later, when I sat outside his office waiting for him — I have forgotten for what reason. He had been speaking to someone about how delicious the bacon in the school cafeteria was, and in the background, his cassette player blared, of all things, rowdy bar songs from Scotland. It was a strange, yet somehow comforting, anachronism, those rough, homegrown Scottish ditties backdropping that kind, gentle, yet fiery man of God.
Bro. Dunne, we wish you a warm welcome to your Home in the Kingdom, and we will miss you sorely.
