It is official. We have closed sale on our house, and we are moving to Castro Valley, California! We leave Cincinnati on Monday September 29 and arrive at our new home on Saturday, September 3. We are driving across country, which is why it will take so long. Our new address is 4803 Hillside Dr., Castro Valley, CA 94546. My web site will be down during the move, but e-mail to dan@dennedy.org should still work as a I setup a temporary service.

Earlier, I wrote about a Rio Karma portable audio player. Well, a few months ago, the hard drive seized. I should have heeded the warnings about its flakiness on Amazon.com. Oh well, it was featureful for the price at which I attained it. Since the drive in the rental truck will be boring with only AM/FM and cassette, I decided to buy a new player. This time I purchased the Cowon iAUDIO X5L 30BL. This sucker is even more featureful with a 30GB HDD and an extended 30 minute battery.
