House Concert- You’re Invited!
I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting a house concert featuring our friends Steve Lawson & his lovely wife Lobelia at our home on May 31, 2010. Steve is a solo bass player. Never heard of solo bass? You’re in for a treat. Lobelia’s ethereal voice blends and compliments Steve’s playing- it’s something I [...]
Douglas Rushkoff at SXSW- Program or Be Programmed
Why we all need to pay attention and do our best to get a clue. Understanding how technology works and what the biases of programmers are is as important as understanding how and why I wrote these words. via youtube.com from banannie’s posterous
Pants On The Ground | Jimmy Fallon does Neil Young
via youtube.com Mostly I’m impressed with the great Neil Young impression Fallon does! from Distraction (just another)
Spirit of Halloween Past
I used to love Halloween. I never got into it a much as some others but I’d dress up, trick or treat, go to parties, even hosted a party or two. When my kids were little I liked coming up with costumes. I bought my fair share from the store but I made a few [...]
Forty years ago…
I was just past my sixth birthday when Neil Armstrong took that step on July 20, 1969. My parents got me out of bed to watch on our little tv, I remember it very clearly. What it must have been like for my grandparents, born at the start of the 20th century, to see so [...]

I’m checking out thismoment which lets you create digital scrapbooks then share them online. Pretty cool I think!
Record Store Day at Vintage Vinyl in NJ
Had lots of fun visiting Vintage Vinyl in Fords NJ yesterday for Record Store Day. They had live music, including The Color Fred & Willie Nile. Nice size crowd (of all ages!) turned out. Pat was on a camping trip with our kids but I met up with my friend Mike, a Vintage Vinyl veteran, [...]
Human Touch
I’m not sure what the final numbers are, but a whole mess of people got together this weekend just to hang out in a basement in Milwaukee. They came from California, Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and even England. They flew to one of the coldest places in the USA just to hang out. [...]
2008 Wrap-Up: Best New Online App or Service
The winner of this one is 12seconds.tv. Hands down. The guys behind this one took the idea of webcam video a step beyond the competition, not by making something big and shiny, but by shrinking it down to bite-sized deliciousness. And with the recent switchover from closed alpha to open, no-invite-needed beta, anyone can join [...]
Merry Christmas!
A little holiday trip down memory lane I made for my parents, sister, & brother . (rss click thru to see the video!)
2008 Wrap-Up: Best Music
I didn’t buy much music this year. I mostly listen to the alternative stations on XM (RIP Fred, Ethel, & Lucy) and when I’m home I’ve become addicted to blip.fm, where I not only get to fulfill my deejay fantasies, but I get to hear the choices of my online friends as well. So, I [...]

And now for something completely awesome…
As I said earlier today on Twitter, Seesmic is like a wormhole connecting me to famous people. Awhile back I was able ask Kevin Smith a question and get a response. Today it was someone I’ve been a fan of since I was, oh, about ten years old? John Cleese of Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, [...]
We’ll miss you Craig
Craig Manganello really tried to convince me learn to play this here guitar this past spring, but I never followed through. Interesting coda to this? Pat took up the challenge and learned to play Wanted Dead or Alive, quite well! I hadn’t been in touch with Craig recently- because I haven’t been spending much time [...]
Sick day
I decided to take a sick day today. I slept in, took some DayQuil- and find myself working (Sort of. No client work, but writing this post, for example, counts as “work.”) If I worked out of the house, I’d call in sick and probably spend the day in front of the tv. But since [...]
Destiny 1997-2008
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our dog Destiny (aka Desti, Dusty and Hey Dog!), described in my About page and by those who know her as The Cutest Dog In The World®. She had been sick for awhile, a tumor in her nasal passages, but she was still the same dog (a bit [...]
