Parkinson’s Law – Deadlines Are Beautiful
I read about Parkinson’s Law today as I was re-reading the 4 Hour Workweek. I well know the value of deadlines. One thing that has helped me be a better writer is doing timed practice. That’s basicallly a short deadline. Write everything you can about this subject for the next ten minutes, that kind of […]

Khuda – Palingenesia
Some music has this effect on me, where when I hear it, I have to get up and play my guitar. The sound gives me inspiration to play. I found a band from the UK that does this to me: Khuda They released an album just this month, check them out at http://www.myspace.com/khudamusic A little […]

Big Blue Caddi Alive Again
Yes, it finally happened. My giant blue Caddi is once again wandering the streets of T-Town. Fuzzy feelings all around. How nice it would be to fix her up and give her some help in the speed department.

First Blog From iPhone
This is my first post from wordpress or iPhone. I can’t seem to get landscape mode to work well. And the keyboard is lagging like crazy. Oh well, it’s cool to be able to blog from anywhere without my laptop.

Jailbreak iPhone 4.0 – Why I Still Jailbreak
I have been Jailbreaking since I got my iPhone 3G. I patiently await for the hackers to jailbreak the latest update. It’s always been for two reasons: to customize the look of my iPhone, and the jailbroken apps that help me do things quicker. You see, I’m one of those mac guys who is fanatical […]

GameFace – “Four Chords, Seven Years”
Let’s do one thing I seem to enjoy quite a lot: take it back to the early ‘90’s. This is a pop-punk band you might not have heard of. But you need to. They were signed to Doghouse records, a label that has signed many of my other favorite bands. For example, The Honorary Title, […]

Davenport Cabinet
“I surrender… to the stereo…” What a great line to start this song with. It fits so well atop the main guitar riff, you couldn’t ask for more. Davenport Cabinet is a side project of Travis Stever, of Coheed and Cambra. I’ve listened to his album Nostalgia in Stereo a few times now, and it […]

Fleet Foxes – “White Winter Hymnal”
This song came out in 2008, but I felt I should share the song and video for those who haven’t heard about it. The video is some fun claymation. The song really stands out on its own, and will surely be stuck in your head:

Derek Olson – “The Going Price For Home” (D-Roc Remix)
If you haven’t heard of The Prize Fighter Inferno, today is your lucky day. They are one of my favorites. They are one of those bands that people either really love or really hate. And I think most of that is because of Claudio Sanchez’ voice; I like his voice. But some dislike him for […]

Ghostland Observatory – “Dancing On My Grave”
What is this? That was my question when I first heard Ghostland Observatory. I still don’t know. Their brand of music has been called electro soul rock. Well, ok. It does sound like a music baby of Daft Punk and Queen, so I can see that. Give em a listen and see what you think. […]
