I just received via FedEx a new iMac and Macbook, and soon to arrive, cream of the crop, one of the new Macbook Air laptops.

Okay, I only get to keep them for a couple of weeks (for a review, always was a sucker for an editor calling with a sob story, especially if they're willing to go $1/word), but still, just sayin'. Whee!
The new toy I do get to keep is a Zoom H2, to record chants and such at camps, and also set up a good and easily portable semi-pro level recording capacity for the upcoming Musical/Magickal Arts Restorative event here at the end of April. Like last year, I plan to send everyone home with a CD of their work and the group work. Some of the improvs last year were most definitely ready for prime time, and I only wished I had a better portable recording solution to capture them more accurately. So here it is. No, it doesn't take 1/4" XLR inputs, but for a pure portable it can't be beat unless you spend a lot more money.
