“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.”

— Before all of tumblr reblogs this into fact, I’d just like to point out for the record, that quote is about as old as Elvis Costello. And it’s been attributed to just about everyone.

Shifd from emacs

I made a little extension for emacs so that I could shifd things directly from inside the editor. Here's a video of it in action. If you're interested in the extension, let me know. I can make it available.

Amazon is amazing. They emailed me this morning because they thought I might like a comic by the guy who did Perry Bible Fellowship. The new one is called Beards of our Forefathers. I am indeed interested in this product.

A Heartbreaking Tale

Fresh Chipotle, but called into a meeting... glad I'm not in that meeting.

Once again, Nick Bilton!

One more time...

It's been a wild couple of months. I got married and went on a honeymoon and left two jobs!

So today, I've done it again. I gave my notice¹... Again.

1. Notice was given to my landlord, not my job.

The lady broke her novelty souvenir glass, so we're going to try to get here a new one today. Bubba Gump is the logical choice. Other ideas?

Tickets!?

I hate to do this again… but I’m desparate! The Fleet Foxes are playing at the Bowery Ballroom on July 9th and Union Hall on the 10th.

I really need tickets! Either show would be great.

Can you help? If so, you can contact me via my email address which is written at the top of every page of this website.
