Once we started on the downhill slope for this version of our product, the edict went out for us employees to get some practice with our own application and actually use our web-designing tool to design us some websites.
Conveniently, my friend David needed a website. About to graduate with his master's degree in classical guitar, he's ready to publicize himself. Not having much success in creating his own website, and not having the wearwithal to hire a Professional Designer Guy, he was wide open to an offer for a free website from a hack like me.
Today all the hosting stuff straightened itself out and now the site is live: www.isaacsguitar.net.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend David's master's recital -- it's next week, when I'll be in Hamburg. But Shelby and I went to a performance that David gave a couple of nights ago, where he played most of the same stuff that he'll be playing at the recital. We were both in awe; the man is a virtuoso. As a tentative musician who has to watch my finger placement carefully and hang on to my sheet music for dear life, just the ability to play a piece that lasts over a half-hour with his eyes closed throughout has my deep admiration.
Poor David is working in a tight market: he had to settle for "isaacsguitar.net" because davidisaacs.com, davidisaacs.net, and daveisaacs.com were already all taken -- by other musicians!
