Snowpacalypse ’08
My cats are completely freaked out by the snow. Zooey keeps on trying to swat at the white stuff through the window. I took him outside yesterday and he freaked out. I’ve been firmy situated on the couch for the past 4 days… • reading the prez-elect’s first book ‘dreams from my father’ • watching [...]
What is Twitter?
In the past 6 months Twitter has become a major function of my job. We’ve had some incredible successes, all of which I’m very proud of and none of which I will repeat here. However, for the non-digital-native crew, this world is completely unknown, and in some cases scary. I’ve tried multiple approaches when someone asks [...]
PR is 98% of it
I love YouTube. It gives me old Miles Davis interviews with awkward msm wannabe anchors. “Don’t tell ‘em nothin, let ‘em guess. … What’s he gonna do next?” Gumbel, “You like the Mystery” “They like it, I’m cool.” Miles with Bryant Gumbel: I’ve read more books about Miles Davis than anybody else. His Autobiography at [...]

The hack that would have ruined the internet
This 26 year old discovered a hack that would have destroyed the internet. It’s a fascinating read, even my wife was interested in it when I started telling her about it. His path started with trying to get free wifi at Starbucks. He remembered that he had gotten into Starbucks’ locked network using the domain [...]
my new favorite band: MGMT
Initially, without listening to MGMT, I brushed them off as a noun/verb - digit band (ala, SUM-41, blink-182, etc). I noticed that their album was still ranked pretty high in the iTunes store a couple of weeks ago, I bought it. I’m really glad I did. Turns out, it’s a really good band. The tracks [...]
Moto-cycling
I’ve been the proud owner of a 2007 Suzuki sv650 for almost 6 months. The winter months are upon me and I’ve been looking for ways to improve the ride when it gets cold and dark by making myself warmer and more visible. My first major upgrade to the bike was a couple of months [...]
A long time coming.
I’m feeling a little bittersweet these days. The election is coming to an end, and I’m not sure if I’ll know what to do with myself. I’m sure that these next 6 months are going to be just as interesting, but the poliik of the past year has been beyond interesting. It’s been a greek [...]
Getting there …
I’ve been struggling to find the right WordPress Theme. I think I might settle with this one. It should give me enough flexibility to show off some photos and still have a nice design for the written word. I’m kind of excited to get this going. I should probably import all of my posts at [...]

Thao with the Get Down Stay Down
So, this weekend the Sasquatch Festival is happening in George, Washington at the Gorge. Unfortunately, the powers that be decided that I shouldn’t go, but I should go to the Pemberton Festival in Pemberton, BC. Both have killer lineups, with one exception. Thao with the Get down Stay Down. I grabbed a copy of this [...]
Indian food
With my wife out of town this evening, I opted to go to a restaurant and get some drinks rather than cook for my self. So, I went to an Indian restaurant two blocks from my house. I chose to sit in the bar portion and read my Jazziz magazine. While I drank my gin [...]
Death of a Salesman
The major labels are dying. … and I don’t care. EMI in the past year has lost Radiohead, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones from it’s roster. Last week they laid off 2,000 people. The other majors aren’t too far behind either. The word is, jobs at the labels are being lost left and right. [...]
