Munny is done(y)

29, Jul 2007

Put the final touches on my second Munny this weekend. I think it came out pretty cool, even if it was just a couple of spray paint applications with some simple brushwork. Next time I will work on my spray painting technique. It’s tricky to keep it from running. Now I have a Mini Munny [...]

Out with the old (carpet).

29, Jul 2007

We’ve replaced the carpet in our house with very similar, but very new, carpet. The houses on our street all date from the mid 1950′s so the assumption has always been that there was decent hardwood flooring under there. The rub, for us, was that we didn’t know the age of the existing carpet plus [...]

Heavy Rotation – The Field

29, Jul 2007

“From Here We Go Sublime” by The Field is the highest rated album on Metacritic this year and I am not sure why. It’s certainly good, if you’re into electronic music (especially trance or ambient, or whichever branch of the electronic tree this fruit falls from). I just don’t see what props this above any [...]

Frowniness

29, Jul 2007

This post was supposed to be about how awesome my new iPhone is. Instead it’s a reminder to all of you dudes out there to check the specs of new hardware to be sure you can use them. So…when do are the new iMacs supposed to hit? The new keyboard looks sweet.

Speedo!

26, Jul 2007

The new John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes) band. This is huge news for me. Speedo is a personal musical hero. the new band has me on lead vocals and gar doing lots of backups. the sound is a combonation of everything I’ve been a part of dating back to my prepubescent days [...]
