Focus
Here’s my dilemma. Apart from real life (friends and family), I do the following, and not in this order:
Radio Station
Guitar
Unreal Tournament (can you believe it’s been 5 years?)
Everquest (can you belive it’s been 5 years, also?)
Misc. computer stuff (Photoshop, Applescripts, OS Customization, Bluetooth)
Home theater goodies
Web site management
How the hell do you juggle all that, family, kids, friends, a life? I gotta cut something out. I was thinking about ditching the radio station. I did it once before and regretted it, but quite frankly, I get very little out of it, I don’t make money from it, and I get little feedback from it. When I killed the station last time, I got a lot of email from people saying that my station was one of the best out there. The problem is that the state of electronic music isn’t the same as it used to be. It’s not the same as it was when I had my show on WTSR in the late 80′s. There’s no diversity anymore, and there’s nothing groundbreaking. I find myself listening to all the older stuff instead of the newer stuff, and I’m running out of older stuff to play.
The station’s currently ranked #28. The problem is that I don’t know what else to feed this station. I find myself picking the same artists over and over again since there’s nobody new out there that’s worth putting on the station. I’ll find an artist here and there on the net, but for the most part, I feel tapped out.
So this leads me to Unreal Tournament. If I drop the station, I could put that money into renting and running a UT server. However, I don’t know if I could dedicate myself to keeping it up day after day. I don’t know how people do this on a regular basis for years at a time. One person I know is doing it and his server never has any players on it. At least the radio station has listeners.
I digress.
Going to see The Nerds tonight at Vanderbilt’s. Should be fun. Mary and I need to get out together for a change.
