Tasha and I are travelling across country today in order to get back to Colorado.  I might be able to post from Iowa’s rest areas, but likely you will not see original content from me until Sunday. Just for the record: I have a karate post and a series of guitar-related posts in the hopper […]

Last night, I got to watch my cousin play my guitar with his band.  It sounded AWESOME, despite the very small crowd (for awhile it was just Tasha, me, and my other cousin). The bar itself was a very small, very… rustic place that I probably would not ever have visited except to see my […]

This week I had the rare circumstance to actually code, then work on some documentation.  Both of these tasks allow me listen to music while I work, and I created a Genius playlist based off of the track “Your Ex-Lover Is Dead” by Stars.  A few tracks later a song by The Postal Service called […]
