So I’ve been posting a lot of links, reblogs, quotes, and media lately, but nothing of a more personal nature. Life seems to have settled into a bit of a routine, which is probably why I haven’t bored anyone who happens to be reading (comment! I love comments!), but I felt the desire to write […]

Awesome list. Thankfully, I’ve somehow managed to learn many of these, which is pretty f’ing excellent. Some favorites include:

#3 – Use Google Effectively – Google knows everything. If you’re having trouble finding something with Google, it’s you that needs help. #5 – Drive a Manual Transmission Vehicle – There will come a time when you’ll be stuck without […]

The article I’m quoting/linking to here is a thought exercise more than anything, but, as such an exercise should do, it is thought-provoking. Philip Greenspun asks: “How much would it cost to convert the entire U.S. fleet of passenger cars, which collectively burn 40 percent of the oil that we use, to electric cars?” He […]

Inside Mac Games quoted a story on Gamesindustry.biz about an encryption chip that could make it nigh impossible to pirate a video game. One of the most interesting part of the article is the fact that Nelson Bushnell, founder of Atari, is quoted as saying “There is a stealth encryption chip called a TPM that […]

John Gruber, one of my favorite writers, opines this in reference to this article by Saul Hansell, in a report for the NYT Bits Blog on current negotiations between Apple and the major music labels:

So let’s get this straight. The music labels think we should pay more for a song downloaded from a server that isn’t […]

Apologies for yet more downtime. I’m currently posting this from the Red Sox game at Fenway tonight, which is going well for the Sox! I’ve got a few fun posts and reblogs lined up, so stay tuned!

Apologies to anyone who tried to visit Saturday or Sunday, as my site experienced some major downtime due to some cluster issues my host was having. Everything seems to be resolved now, but let me know if anything seems off.

So the last week basically flew by; my sister’s graduation last weekend was awesome. Really great to see my family & since it was only the second time I’ve ever been to Salem, I finally got to meet all of my sister’s friends & hit the bar with all of them to celebrate. I’m really […]

Trying out blogging from my iPhone; pretty nifty. I’m currently sitting by gate B10 in Logan Airport, waiting to board my 10:30 flight to Roanoke via Philly. My sister’s graduating from college tommorrow, which is just unbelievable to me. Then in June, she moves to NYC! Crazy stuff. Not only that, but my brother is […]

So this past weekend was a bit action-packed. Here we go:

he gig Thursday night at TOAD with Maria McNeil went well, if slightly rough around the edges musically, as we have not rehearsed nearly enough to be super tight. Still, musically I really enjoy her compositions.

Friday I packed up a bag, got my bass stuff & pedal […]
