A New View of Taos

Taos Canyon from my new vantage point in Taos. I have a wonderful new view of Taos and the mountains look stunning this cold December afternoon, topped with snow and a healthy veil of clouds.

Property Pre-Processing in MODX Revo 2.2

A new feature in MODX 2.2 allows Elements to define if tags in default property and property set values are pre-processed. This allows values provided to Elements in this way to use tags in values that are processed before being used by the Element, the same way it would be if the tags appeared directly in the Element tag string.

Sunsets

1498935318_xkpM7q8 The amazing sunsets of northern New Mexico provide plenty of outlets for my obsession with the colors of dusk. The late summer and early fall sunsets have been anything but disappointing this year, even with my recent move 1000 feet down from El Salto into the hidden valley of Valdez.

Introducing Cosmic Dog

1218903369_3mZCn

Since last October, I've been rehearsing with a band that calls itself Cosmic Dog here in Taos, New Mexico. I believe Chris Burton's original music, which will make a public debut 9pm Friday, April 15th at the Midtown Lounge in Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico, is amazing. I'm more excited than I think I have ever been playing his incredible variety of original songs.

Dry, windy, and warm

Wind, and dust, and sneezing, and coughing. Not what it was like last time this year at all!
