Tableaux from a Cheap Motel in Milwaukee
Well, I’m on the road again, another week in Milwaukee. One saving grace is the electronic arrangement in the picture below. I was an early adopter of hard disk-based mp3, and bought the Archos Recorder 20. It’s a behemoth by iPod standards, but the 20gb hard disk still has plenty of room, even though I rip music at a higher bitrate (192) for enhanced sound quality. The speakers shown are a sweet addition - from Creative labs. They’re VERY petite and deliver terrific sound. They pack up into a padded case that can be hauled easily in a briefcase. Now playing? Santana’s ‘Caravanserai’ album, which I ripped from my 70s-vintage vinyl.
