Today I set up a playlist on my mac of nothing but Mark Kozelek tracks, and I’ve been reminded how fantastic the Tiny Cities album is. I’m a pretty big Modest Mouse fan, and hearing Kozelek’s take on Isaac’s lyrics… well, let’s just say the songs feel completely new, and a few kind of give…

Version Three
Okay, so I promised to go more into depth on version three of this fabulous site. It’s 2:30 (which is 3:30, really, because day light saving just switched) and I just returned from a Halloween party, so I’ll take a few minutes and say hey and explain why this site is such a big deal.…
Six Eh Em
It is 6am. It is Saturday morning. It is DONE[1]. Welcome to version three point zero. More on this later. A lot more. I cannot see straight. I am going to bed. fn1. There is a rendering bug in the Create section in Firefox. I’m aware of this.

Massive Browsing
I am, by no means, a software developer. Every program I wrote in my CS classes in university ended in complete and utter failure (My shining moment of pride was the day my command line calculator project crashed the Sun I was working on). But I sure do use a lot of software, and I…
Returning to Your Roots
I grew up addicted to sports. Not so much to the actual playing of sports, but more so to the watching and statistical memorisation of said sports. I had everyone’s baseball card, and I knew their stats by heart.

Ben Harper and Jack Johnson at Deer Valley
As the midday sun beat down on my bare legs, I thought to myself, why does it seem different this time? I have been to hundreds of concerts in my time, yet somehow this seemed all together different. Gone were the droves of incessant “tough guy” types that accompany nearly every show I’ve ever been to. You know the type: stone faces and bad attitudes. Their appearance tends to vary from scene to scene and year to year.
I thought so.
Yes, that new Cover Flow feature in iTunes 7 is the same CoverFlow from SteelSkies.com. Awesome… fantastic app, and even better in iTunes. Congrats!
By way of preview…
