Original posting from 2007-4-27: Bees are having a hard time getting through life the last couple of years or so.  I've heard/read about at least 6 stories about bee populations dwindling.  It's been dubbed Colony Collapse Disorder.  Just in case you didn't know, bee extinction would be the most horrible thing for all species on Earth.  Albert Einstein speculated that "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left." 1  Bees have a tendency to attack humans with a high level of ferocity and it's not because our technology is destroying them.

Canada & the EU have reported bee population declines.  Taiwan is experiencing bee losses as well.  Mites seem to be the cause in Hawaii.  Bees are even getting their ass kicked in France by the Asian Hornet.  They can't just seem to get a break!

Update on 2007-9-06:  Seems it was a virus after all. 

Update on 2008-6-08:  The latest update is NOT good for our little friends.  36% lost in the past year alone!

Update on 2008-7-25:  Greenhouse bees could be the problem.

Update on 2009-9-27:  Looks as if there might be a vaccine for Colony Collapse.  That just preceeding the vanishing of Bumble Bees now.

Finally got Yahoo to post my artist page here.

Original post from 25 Nov, 2008:

Well, I finally have my first release completed & its available on a plethora of websites as of 25 Nov.  It's been a very long time coming.  I hope you like it as much as I do.  I've been working on this release for the past 6 years (off & on that is).  Track 2 was originally done in Orion Platinum, but then I rewired it into Ableton Live to finish it off.  The rest were done completely in Live.  I've been using Live since version 2.  I'm up to version 7 now...haha.

I found WNYC's RadioLab a couple of years ago.  I must say, that some of their shows can literally change your life.  I've posted links to my favorite 6.  Listen to them with your full attention...you won't be disappointed.

1) Deception
2) Memory & Forgetting
3) Time
4) Choice
5) Sperm!
6) War of the Worlds

Reducing your water consumption can save you lots of money.  People in GA and out in the West should implement some of these tips now.

1. Don't flush every time.  London's Mayor has the right idea; so does this councilwoman in NC.  FYI:  there is no smell if you don't flush every time.  You can skip a few times before you even notice anything.   Businesses should start looking into waterless urinals as well. 
   


2. Install low flow aerators.  You can use them in any faucet & shower head.  You'll make your $3 back in the first month!
   


3. Water your lawn better.  Here are a bunch of tips.
   


4. Wash clothes smarter.  Use cold water and only when you have full loads.
   


5. Filter your own water.  Don't buy it.  It takes energy to transport water...use the system designed for it ~ your tap!  Plenty of bottled water brands aren't even as good as your own filtered tap water.
