I am most disappointed with the battery capacity of my iPod. I dug out the paperwork for the Best Buy warranty tonight and plan to make a trip to Peoria on Saturday to see how far the customer service rabbit hole goes. My hope is that they just swap me out for another 20G iPod […]

Wednesday night and Thursday night consisted of similar subject matter: a nice, hard basic workout followed by practice for Saturday’s demonstration. These two practices were made extra fun because several people in the dojo got their first chance at breaking boards. It is not something we commonly practice in the dojo, however it is fun […]

I suspect that my iPod battery life is reduced, so I am testing it today. I will note my progress below. 8:15 am – Started iPod playing “Shuffle Songs” mode, repeat all. Battery fully charged. 9:23 am – Battery life indicating 1/2 charge. 12:39 pm – The black line that indicates battery life has disappeared, […]

Tonight’s workout got off to a late start. I left work late because of a meeting with my supervisor and missed the first class almost completely. I came in with just enough time to tag into a partner drill with and Oedewaldt-san. It was a one-time sparring drill similar to one we did at the […]

My Dad and I car-pooled up there, I always enjoy the opportunity to hang out and talk about Karate with him. We arrived at the Shirk Center roughly a half-hour […]

The entire first class tonight was dedicated to sparring drills. Before my recent work induced hiatus, I had been getting quite a bit of mileage from the distance and timing drills that we had been doing. I was pleased to find out that I’m not the only one. Aside from some self-identified flaws while sparring, […]

Finding it on your store for $10.88, I quickly headed out to my local store to pick up my copy. I was quite dismayed to find that the disc was marked at $14.88. I questioned […]

I just finished breathing in the sweetness that is Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. This was the most Beatles-esque work that Paul McCartney has done in many years. After the first listen, I can honestly say that Jenny Wren is every bit a successor to Blackbird both in composition and lyrical quality. The tone […]

Holy crap, I think Nintendo has smoked up and designed a video game console. I have no idea what to make of this.

As previously mentioned, I am eager to listen to Paul McCartney’s new album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard. For legal and retarded reasons, EMI has been a pretty staunch holdout in deploying their holdings onto iTunes, which has left me emptyhanded this time around. I found a place on Pauls website where you can […]
