December TV Challenge
I finished tabbing ans the sheet music for the December TV Challenge. Yet again, it is out of range of the Peruvian and more of a challenge for a 5 hole pendant, but the ZERO response so far to November's challenge make the point moot.
Zero ratings. Zero comments. Zero responses.
*Sigh*

Transitional Tabs
The advanced transitional tabs were offered up for Tabmaker. I did not see any demand for them to replace the traditional pendant tabs. They were left in monochrome black. I hope that the more advanced tab options will be appreciated and used.
I still need to create the December TV Challenge tabs.

Internships
With the idea of TON internships, maybe the blog option will become more used again. We shall see.

Preview Explosion
You might have noticed 10 new videos made to preview ocarina reviews that I've posted. I hope that they are appreciated and that appreciation is shown in positive feedback. Oh ... am I tired of the Song of Time! They were created all at once (in one go) when I had chance at a camera. It was very awkward to set a shot up that showcased the ocarina and allowed me to demonstrate it.
There are several things about them I do not like. I was completely unprepared and congested. The angle was terrible for decent play. You can HEAR the camera run and it sounds aweful. Lighting was not as even as I would have liked. The camera focus was more than a bit blurry.
Oh well.

Ocarinas in media
So far I've uploaded 12 videos for Ocarinas in Media. I spent some time making uniform introduction and ending (with information and a small sound track) to apply to the videos.
It was spurred by the removal of the Haré+Guu video by the original uploader. It is not the first video to 'disappear' from the links page, so I decided to preserve what we have found so far.
Many other clips were over 20 minutes long, so any over ~3 minutes will get a serious trim.
I would appreciate any help people can give me in finding and listing new clips, or clips of better quality. I am having a problem synching sound on larger clips as I try to trim them down.

Slow Forum
Summer activities seem to have cut the activity on both forums to a crawl. I understand that. Several family members have most (if not all) of July off. Let's all remember our sunblock, ok?
Oregon had a freakish warm spell. The town of Brookings had a record temperature of 108 by 10 AM, beating the record set in 1973 of only 84 degrees!
Many locals say they're used to odd temperatures because of what's called the "Chetco Effect." That's when hot, dry air flowing down the river valley toward Brookings gets to the ocean and slams into a cold stable air mass. The hot air backs up, increasing the temperature.

Ocarina Travel
As I am preparing for travel, I decided that I don;t want to be without my Songbird pendant. I'm looking through my girlie collection of pretty little boxes trying to find one that will be best to retro-fit to a protective case for singular penant.
I have a fairly nice and solid stationary box that is very strong cardboard that will work nicely.

Away
Since I am going to be gone, I'm uploading and releasing SM Challenge #5 a wee bit early. Better early than late, right?Right
