A week or two ago I was watching a rerun of Major Dad on a syndication black hole, and I was caught a bit off guard by a Kia commercial. Some people ramble on about something or other. I’m not really sure what’s going on, but at one point a dapper young professional thinks to […]

Well the ProBlogger Top 5 group writing project was a pretty big success. My entry, Top 5 Moments in Classic Rock, already has 25 comments, most of which are trackbacks (dirty, link-leeching trackbacks, but that’s ok). I don’t have previous numbers, but my Technorati Authority is up to 27, and my rank is 181,095. I’ve […]

I have a job tomorrow. I’m replacing some old Macs […]

Wow, chalk this up as the most absurd story of the moment. Some rabid (def: carrier of rabies) fan of Paris Hilton’s has attempted to have her DUI (that’s driving drunk/endangering lives/generally having no regard for others) pardoned (oh yea, and her license was suspended) by sending a letter to the governator.
The author’s claim is […]

Ahh, time for a list. Darren Rowse is having a ‘Top 5′ group writing project, and I’m hoppin on the bandwagon. I thought about different topics, and decided to have some fun. I’m a huge fan of classic rock, and I dig those moments that just make you say “holy crap,” so I’m gonna list […]

As I mentioned, I’ve set up a new niche blog. It’s called axplay and it’s right here. It’s a blog about guitars - playing, learning and enjoying. I’d love some feedback on it and suggestions of how to get it exposed more. I’m really struggling with that. I think I’m going to register a forums […]
