Fiesta 2014

I'm grateful that the city extended Fiesta to two weeks. We are always very busy. We came to Fiesta early this year in case we couldn't make it out later. We always miss Fiesta. Now, we still have some time to make it out to another event.

Disney On Ice

I'm grateful that we've been able to make it out to all of these events since my daughter has been born. We have so many pictures of the magic that Disney creates on this tour. I'm glad that it is as interesting for us as it is for my daughter. And we got pretty good seats this year!

Local Music

I went to practice with a buddy of mine who met up with these cats. They're getting together to play a gig at a party. They play local rock music, but with a different feel. I always enjoy meeting new people especially talented musicians from different genres.

Bluetooth Technology

I am grateful for Bluetooth technology. I use my Bluetooth headset all the time to speak on the phone and to listen to music. Today, I used my Bluetooth adapter to connect my phone into this stereo. Now, I can play YouTube videos while working in the kitchen with my family. It helps to pass the time.

Hohner

I am grateful for my new accordion tuning tool set from Hohner. Hohner is a respectable accordion maker. I used to own a Hohner accordion. This tool set was expensive and the of the best quality. I know this tool set will help me tune accordions in a professional manner.

Packages

I received these packages today. I'm hoping that it will be the start of a new hobby of mine. I went on eBay and purchased an accordion bellows and a tuning kit. I plan on learning how to tune my own accordions. This is not very common amongst accordion plays here in San Antonio. I'm grateful that I finally got started purchasing the materials that I need since I have been trying to do this for years now.

Technology

I am happy that I found this place. It is the first all digital library that incorporates technology for kids. There is a vast amount of ebooks for rental. They even have devices that you can rent including nooks. This is totally free to the public. Their institution has a few meeting rooms and free wifi. The place is called Bibliotech. You can get a library card just as you can in any library.

Audacity

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
I'm not sure if Audacity has an online feature, but this program available for download has helped out on various occasions. Mainly to complete class projects. I have ProTools, that has recently changed due to the vast production of music that is both CD quality and cheap. It is now harder to produce such material. I still have the equipment to produce this, but it is hard to power up and get the results that I want where Audacity lets me edit audio quickly. I would highly recommend using Audacity, if you can tackle the learning curve of audio editing, get it.
