The latest sales figures from NAMM have come out. These figures analyze demographics, instrument sales, American attitudes towards music making, and a bunch of other things that I won’t write here.
As expected, guitar is still king. That doesn’t comment much on how American music is changing. What does tell us that is [...]
The Six Feet Under finale was totally amazing. It’s really the first time I thought about how soon I’m going to die and that I can’t do anything about it. It’s also the first time it made me really think that I’ve got to do something meaningful with my life.
It’s been about a month since the Summer NAMM session and I haven’t bought any new music equipment, and that’s probably a good thing.
I had been thinking about getting the Edirol FA-66, which I’ve mentioned in previous postings. But then i started to think that if I’m going to go ahead and get the [...]
After work today I jumped the shark. I bought a mountain bike.
I was hoping that I wouldn’t walk into the store (the Mountain and Boardertown here) and look like “Hey, I want you to CHARGE ME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE for a bike here!!” I don’t think they did. I was pretty [...]

Besides the obvious benefit of using it to keep in shape, [...]
I haven’t written much lately and I think it’s because I got a Gamefly account. I rented Conker: Live and Reloaded. It’s actually one of the best looking games I’ve ever played, and there were even a few parts that made me chuckle. Still, regardless of its setting out to be raunchy, [...]
It’s always been my opinion that you can’t really be “good” at computers if all you know is Windows. So when a co-worker suggested that I try out a Linux distribution called “Ubuntu” I was a little intrigued.
I’ve never used Linux. I haven’t really used anything since OSX for personal use since getting [...]
