It's all great in '08 (mostly...haha).
About me? My songs are recorded in my car. Baboon Mobile Studio 1. It's a fine den for for privacy and sound isolation. I use the Rode S1 handheld condensor mic and Line 6 Toneport UX2 interface to my laptop. Great software with the Toneport. Lots of bang for the buck (phantom power, ins and outs, effects, etc) they have a newer KB37 that combines the audio interface and effects suite with a USB keyboard. They've added a low-end Toneport GX with the same software for about $69. You have no excuse not to try it.
I release songs with the group, "The LongLines".
theLongLines.com as well as solo and other collaborations. We keep our membership loose.
Jayman, theGranz and I are hardcore LongLines these days. I play guitar on some tracks, write lyrics and sing. I prefer collaborating with a variety of artists to working alone (which I did for many years).
Some of the latest LongLines' epics:
Union City and
Lovin Stone and
Hearts and Arms Entwined and
Eye of the Needle and
Pillars of Eden
We also have some lovely merchandise our
LongLines Shoppe. I recommend the
fridge magnets and
hats 
No, seriously. Buy one. You'll be the first! hahahah
They still sound fantastic.
Met up with JD in Miami this week.
Alright, so I'm a little slow to grasp the potential of things.
Yes, it finally happened (at least short term)...technically, I bought it for work
