Boy, it's sure been a hot summer season. For some reason when I sit outside in the relative cool of the evening (compared to daytime temps) and I listen to the cicadas, tree frogs, and crickets, it reminds me of those summer nights so long ago when I was a kid here. Back then we didn't have air conditioning, so we had a lot of fans going arouind the lodge. I recall those were pretty hot summers back then, and why this summer has the same "feel" to it is somewhat beyond me. Perhaps I am just being nostalgic. But it was sure fun the past few evenings sitting outside with my son watching the Perseid meteor shower.

The big news is the weekly one-hour commercial-free internet radio broadcast of the "HiTek Redneck Radio Show" online at www.arkansasinternetradio.com, hosted by yours truly. The Cedar Crest Studio music vault has over 500 song titles by 50 artists. This program features original music from this vault, which means if you listen you are guaranteed to hear music you have never heard before, and it's all recorded by artists and bands from the Arkansas. Natural music from the natural state, naturally….

Back in the 80's, while working as a computer technician for the Baxter Bulletin, the paper's editor Rusty Fraser suggested that I start writing a series of articles covering the latest technological advances. I got bit by the "writing bug" and continued to write even after my employment at the newspaper ended. When I began posting my online articles (now called "blogs") and started up my web site I wanted a page where people could go and see the very latest changes I had made to the web site. I chose to resurrect the "System Update" name and logo, which was created for me back in the 80's by Mark Cheney. So now you know how I came up with "System Update" for this page. To read a few of these articles, go HERE.

The latest installment of "News From the Woods" is about Irony in the Recording Industry. Read it HERE.

We now offer T-shirts and accessories. The Cedar Crest Studio catalog of logo T-shirts is growing each day. If you want to see our line of merchandise click on the logo below.
