Wow. It’s going to be hard to come up with the proper words. Words that will do these guys justice, words that will properly describe the emotion, passion, and energy of these two bands are not easily formed. I was a teenager when I first heard The Rentals, shortly after their first album, Return of …

New Blog
I’ve decided to create another blog to differentiate subject matter. The crowd I’ve attracted to space-age wasteland is largely addicted to productivity methods, GTD, gmail, and other geekery and hackery (I’m a blogger, I may coin words as I please). For my new ministry and work in keynotes for youth events and for my liturgical …
Bingbit Update
So why have I been quietly calculating my next move? First, some details on what’s different about bingbit. Old: Liturgical music publishers charge a per copy license for music and separate the licensing from mechanical reproduction: costly. bingbit: Parish Licensing Program allows music ministers and worship leaders to purchase a combination copy-limited piece of music …
More eBay Auctions
Unfortunately, the mandolin didn’t meet the reserve on eBay, and didn’t sell. Much to my surprise, there were no bids in the last 12 hours of the auction. Maybe I’ve got a disordered view of the way eBay works. Despite this setback, I’ve got two more auctions going on right now to see if eBay …
Belief
…Seems to be the theme of the day. I did a good job catching up on my Google Reader subscription list last evening. Then when I opened my Google home page this morning, the only two new entries were both entitled “Belief”. At first, I was really scared. I thought someone was trying to tell …
Uncle Widget (the real deal)
I’ve got big plans for Uncle Widget. What started as a way to replace the horribly pedestrian music that continuously played in my daughters’ rooms has become a core component in my vocational adventure. The first CD, Bedtime on Mars is meant to foster peace and creativity in your sleeping child. It gets them accustomed …
eBay of the Week (100th post to SAW)
Check out this Washburn M3SW Mandolin on eBay. And stay tuned for another personal status update from me! And a big round of applause for making it to the big 100th post. Almost 18 months after I started… I’m (mostly) still here. Also, please check out Zack Scott Reports. Zack paid large sums of money …
My Current Career
I haven’t talked much about my career. I’ve got a pretty good theory as to why this is. When I was in software, piddling unfulfilled in a cubicle all day, I had plenty to complain about. Now I don’t have time to complain because I’m busy doing the work that I absolutely love. What do …
Family Life July ’06
As promised, and update on the family: It’s a… Ok, so we won’t know the sex of the baby for another 2 weeks, but Cindy and I are expecting our third child in December! What do you DO all day? Mom works at home with the kids, and I’m working at home. Since I’ve got …
Clear Like Tar
Contrary to my normal behavior, I’ve been a stranger lately. Not just because I haven’t been communicating much. When I have communicated, it hasn’t been deep. So I’m going to treat everyone to a few posts that are deep. Family Life – what’s new with the family? Career – it’s funny how I don’t complain …
