Crossover 6.0?

So, for folks who have an intel Mac, you can get a program called Crossover to run your windows applications on OSX.

saintrigger posted about it this morning. I think this is an interesting application. For those who play city of heroes using bootcamp, you might want to give it a try. However, when looking at Crossover's compatibility list, no one has tried to run it on Crossover.

A quiet Friday

I'm not out on my usual Friday jaunt tonight. I suspect I'm battling some low grade sinus thing. This week was rather busy, with driving all over.

Since Saturday, I went to Roseville three times, the airport twice, woodland once, over and above my normal work commute. With some additional work demands, I am rather fried.

I am decompressing by listening to some Fingathing and working on my music theory lessons.

Jake 2.0 is on and that will be time to do some drum practice and relax.

Life is good, all things considered.

One annoyance with music theory

While I enjoy synonyms in the english language, I'm am not currently finding joy in different ways to express music notation.

For example, the dotted quarter note is equivalent to a tied quarter and eighth note.

is equal to

Why exactly would one be better than the other?

Sure, sure. There's a few ways to represent mulitplication, etc. But is there some nuance I am missing? I suppose if you're changing pitch, a slur would be a better representation than a dotted quarter, but otherwise, I don't get it.
