After a 28 day hiatus, I finally got a chance to play soccer again. I signed up for a soccer league I found on the internets which is just as shady as their website makes them appear. To say that the organization is poorly run would be a horrible understatement. I’ll give you all the […]

Thanks to everyone who made it out last weekend on such short notice. It was good to see you all. For those of you that I didn’t get to see, I’ll be back in September for ACL and will likely be making it down a day early to go to the Thievery Corporation […]

Business cards serve two functions: 1) To prove to other business people that you are a legitimate employee of a company1 and 2) To serve as a cheesy parting gift to go along with the cheesy pickup line you used at that awesome happy hour when you were wearing your favorite striped shirt.

Yet somehow happen to read this, I’m going to be in Austin tomorrow. Errrr…make that tonight. Doesn’t matter where I am, I still can’t sleep.

Yesterday I saw Joe Jack Talcum (lead singer of the Dead Milkmen) play a solo acoustic set. The Dead Milkmen have been one of my favorite bands forever and I still listen to them alot today. Don’t believe me? Check out my last.fm profile.
Much like Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes, Joe Jack […]

I saw Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, Rival Schools, Walking Concert) perform an acoustic set at a tiny bar yesterday. I’m talking less than 200 people. He played all the hits, even my current theme song - Dine Alone by Quicksand. That’s another check off the “artists I need to see before they quit playing” […]

I need to get all these thoughts out at once. They’re all short, don’t worry.
How rich is this company?My cleaning lady is white. Not Eastern European white, but white. I know because we had an uncomfortable exchange. I was sitting at my desk making sense of some code. I saw […]

Anyone who knows me knows I’m crazy addicted to TV and internet. I have neither in my apartment. It’s driving me crazy. So, since I’m here alone, I have a ton of free time (without that pesky TV or internets), even if I force myself to work super late. Eventually I hit this […]
