A new day!

I’m sitting here watching the news coverage building up to the Presidential Inauguration that’ll take place later today. I quite honestly never thought I’d see the day that a black man would become President. I’m proud to be an American today. Perhaps the first time that I’ve TRULY been able to say that. In my lifetime of 38 years, this is the brightest American moment – even with the economic crisis and ongoing war factored in.
2009 will be both a refreshing and a challenging year. President Barack Obama won’t be able to perform miracles, he’ll definitely have a tough job ahead. However, I’m confident he’s the perfect man for that all-important job of President of the United States of America. Congratulations America, welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! The world is watching.

Over the past couple months I’ve been using my spare time to port my site blocSonic.com from Ruby On Rails to PHP in order to help loading time and site stability. I’m still in the process of porting the administrative back-end. Probably another month will be required to complete that. After a short break, I’m resuming the release of monthly collections of free net audio gems. Currently you can find 13 releases at blocSonic.com and 2 more are in the works. They should be released within the next couple weeks.
Besides blocSonic projects, I’ve been keeping myself busy with Nine Inch Nails related creations. First, I’ve been taking part in the Nine Inch Nails “Ghosts Film Festival”. Below is my video ‘EMPIRE’ which features three “Ghosts” tracks. Please go to the youtube page and vote for it. If you’d like to download it in HD quality, you can do so via the vimeo page.
