Ok, Maybe He’s Not A Jerk

I just finished reading the Time article on Bono.

Earlier I wrote about how much I can’t stand his image, that he’s fake, etc. On the other hand, I can look past that if since he’s working to make the world a better place. But just because he’s doing good things doesn’t mean I [...]

Learning World of Warcraft

Jim has been showing me the ropes in World of Warcraft. We were playing on a server as the Undead and came across an herb. Subotnic = Me. Gizrot = Jim.

Gizrot: This is an herb. If we had the right skills we could pick these and eat them. Subotnic: Unfortunately [...]

Why Trump Is The Man…?

I was watching an episode of Ali G with my dad. It was the one where he’s trying to sell the Ice Cream Gloves idea to Donald Trump. My dad’s really big into The Apprentice, so he paid a little bit more attention when the Don blew off Ali G.

Blog Changes

I’ve been busy changing the layout of this blog (IE. looking at templates and then inserting my modifications again) because I hate websites that put all the content in the middle of the page.

Wow…WTF?

Music of 2005

Jen was bugging me to do my “Best of 2005” music list. I’ve never done a list like this before, so it’ll be a bit different than most lists. I think each album has a little bit of a story, if not just a small anecdote. So here’s my list of albums [...]

Minimalism Is All Around Us

I don’t know if it’s somekind of fad or even an enlightening, but I think that it can be argued that minimalism is all around us. Less really is more.

In music it’s in the plethora of loops available. If those aren’t good enough (cough Garageband cough) then consider the influence of Steve Reich, [...]

Be Careful With Applecare

If you buy Applecare and you refrain from calling in for support, do NOT wait until the day it expires to do so.

Customer Service: Do you have your serial number? Me: Yes, it’s ____________. click click clack click click CS: Strange…I’m not seeing it here. Are you sure that you registered your Applecare? Me: Yes, I’m looking [...]

Music Magazines and Why I Can’t Stand Bono

One of the perks of being a college radio DJ, besides the seemingly never-ending flow of new music, was the big table of music magazines. At WAIH (I forgot their new address) we got Rolling Stone, Spin, Blender and some other smaller publications. I liked thumbing through the pages and stopping on articles [...]

Who’s Bad?

Yes, lame, but I liked it.
