I had to hurry my fist post.

Anyway, I have the preliminary cover done for my first production module. I was going to post it here for feedback. But I have no idea how import it???????????????

The module is just about done. The artwork is fantastic! Brian Nagata's broher has really come through!!! Also Ashmire has contributed a couple and I think he is sending me more to fill some gaps.

Anyway, if anyone has clue on how get the PDF posted here, let me know.

Thanks, Bill


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

I think you will have to upload the .pdf to a file storing/sharing site and then link it here.  Kind of like sharing photos using Flickr or Photobucket.  There may be another way but that is the only idea I can come up with.

In about a month. It will actually be ready in two weeks, but I have some other fish to fry for the official launch. Web site, incorporation, etc.

That's spooky. Is it coincidence or were they actually the same person?

It is a sign of bad times when a person's youth starts to decay in their eyes.

Even worse....Sky Saxon passed away today. Sky was the singer of the seminial 60's punk band, the Seeds, and they were one of the originators of "garage punk".  They only had two hits, "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem to Make You Mine", both classic punk/neo psychedelica in the late 60's vein (both made the Billboard Top 40 in 1967, the only year the band really charted anything). While Sky had done very little for the last 30 years, he popped up here and there on tribute albums. Recently he moved to Austin, Texas and was starting to become more seen and heard in the indie music scene there.  A minor footnote in the world of rock n' roll, but I've always been a lover of the weird, the fringe, and the 60's psychedelic punk rocker.

Sky Saxon, lead singer and bassist of '60s garage rockers the Seeds, died Thursday in an Austin, Texas hospital. He had been in the ICU since Monday suffering from an undisclosed illness -- doctors suspected an internal organ infection -- until his wife, Sabrina, announced his passing via Facebook.

Influenced heavily by the Rolling Stones, Saxon -- born Richard Marsh -- founded the Seeds in 1965 in California. The next year, the psychedelic rockers released two albums, 'The Seeds' and 'A Web of Sound,' and had hits with 'Can't Seem to Make You Mine' and 'Pushin' Too Hard,' their most successful song. In 1967, the band released two more albums: 'Future,' a psychedelic rock album, and 'A Full Spoon of Seedy Blues,' which was credited to the Sky Saxon Blues Band and featured liner notes by the legendary Muddy Waters.

After some lineup changes and a few more commercially unsuccessful albums, Saxon dissolved the band in the early '70s. He joined a California commune, the Source Family, adopted the name Sunlight and occasionally performed with their trippy house band, the Ya Ho Wa 13. In 1989, Saxon reformed the Seeds to tour with other '60s acts like Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Arthur Lee and Love. They toured again in 2003, and Saxon kept busy musically, releasing an album last year, and recording with the Smashing Pumpkins. Though he fell ill last Thursday, Saxon still managed to play a short gig on Saturday night at Austin rock club Antone's.

Earlier today, Sabrina Sherry Smith Saxon wrote on her Facebook page, "Sky has passed over and YaHoWha is waiting for him at the gate. He will soon be home with his Father. I'm so sorry I couldn't keep him here with us. More later. I'm sorry." No other announcements have been made.

I find myself very saddened today. I was an MJ fan in my youth. I think 'Off the Wall' was the first album I bought.

well you cant fault MJs talent, but he created his own problems in life really.

i always knew that he would never do any of his concerts...didnt think it would be quite THIS bad though.

shame about farrah though - she was quite the looker once upon a time, til the grind of life played its cruel tricks on her and she went along down that road - was only a matter of time then.

still sad really.

but i agree with mike....the little things sometimes hit the spot more. have had a few occasions like that myself over the years and i tend to note them more than the major celebs.

It's just not a good week to be famous.  Makes you wonder if it comes in 3s or not.
