New Computer, New Music (Garuna)
Posted by Stuart at 11:26 AM on March 01, 2007I am very excited today because my IT tasks at work are now complete -- I am writing this on my new Mac Mini, using a new widescreen monitor, and connecting through a new wireless network. Getting a lot of new toys Setting up a new company has been fun this week.
And what would be better for all this new equipment than to play some new music? On the way to the office today I stopped by the Emporium and picked up a copy of the CD by Garuna. It's an Thai/Farang electronica group, and it's quite good, actually.
But the coolest thing about the CD is that one of the group members is a former colleague of mine at the University. And he just happens to be one of the initial shareholders in my company. So it is fitting that Garuna is the first CD to be played on my new equipment.
For more information about Garuna, check out the Garuna MySpace page. I love the way they describe themselves:
We don't have tattoos. We don't do drugs. We're not angry. We don't perform live. Most of the time we're at home with Mom or in a cubicle reflecting about life in the big city. We spend a lot of time in airconditioned shopping centers. Life is not so serious when you are in Garuna.The video for "So Hi" on the MySpace page is especially good... at least to me since it stars a former student of mine and another company shareholder / university colleague. Nice work, guys!
Of course I am always looking for people who want to give me some money! I have considered taking out loans and/or asking people if they want to invest in my company, but I haven't gotten around to actually asking anyone yet. But feel free to send some cash my way any time! ;)
Congratulations! I'm so glad you stuck to Apple. I remember when you were raving about your Sony laptop. A 22" flat screen is sweet! Now all you need is a 7.1 surround sound speaker system. :-)
Sounds like you're having fun. That's great! Still looking for investors?
