Tonight was our work jam session!  Most of our office is musically inclined, so we decided to all get together and play some music.  Most of the guys in our group are REALLY good, I got some one-on-one instruction on Wonderwall from my buddy Paul.  By the end of the night I was getting it!  […]

I saw a news article today about Apple getting ready for a mid-sized “media pad” which is rumored to be a 7-10″ iPod touch style device.  It’s supposed to be Apple’s offering into the netbook space, possibly acting as an eReader.  Now that I have my iPod touch, I totally get why they’d want to […]

Since most of my office is musically inclined in some form or another, we’re having a work “jam session” get together on Thursday.  One of my managers decided to find a few easy chord songs for those of us aspiring guitarists, and one of the songs that he picked was “The Old Apartment” by Barenaked […]

I got a lot done at work this morning, got a positive quarterly review, and proceeded to do a light workout and have Buffalo Wild Wings tonight.  Then it was back to my house for Rock Band night!  I tried some singing tonight and I figured out what I was doing wrong: I wasn’t singing […]

Today was pretty much a crud fest.  I had a particularly thorny issue involving math at work today which plagued me for most of the day, and right as I was making progress toward finishing the task I had an urgent issue drop in my lap at 4:30 pm.  That’s ok though, I put in […]
