hi!

Social networking has changed everything. I don’t feel like blogging anymore. If you haven’t seen it, you can keep up with things I like to share at my Google Reader page.

I don’t know what I’ll do here. It will stay for now. I hope one day I have a professional site to speak of regarding my music. We’ll see…

Looking forward to this weekend. Kil will be in Tejas!

Granada quotes

I am really running out of motivation to post!

Brian, you’re gettin violent with those balloons.

It’s like Vietnam!

We’re never gonna get through this fucking set.

This song isn’t really about a dog. It’s called Gimme Back My Dog.

Hey look everyone it’s Scott Danbom!

…DANBOM!

Some other band wrote this. We think it’s about us.

(pointing to the number ‘5′ balloon hanging over the stage for the venue’s anniversary) Hey look! They gave us an ‘S’ balloon.

One of these is Brad Mehldau and the other Evgeni Bozhanov. Kinda striking, don’t you think?

Entitlement Issues

Google Reader is really amazing. I keep it up at work and get a live rss view of tons of blogs (which otherwise wouldn’t make it past the network firewalls) and *gasp* Twitter postings. I don’t have much of a reason to enroll and post on Twitter, but I can still subscribe to whomever and follow their posted thoughts which can be very cool if you find the right people, or “Tweeps” as they are called.

On that note, I stumble across tons of things I can star (think, Bookmark) for later postings on my own blog. There will be a large post later with several links I want to share, but in the meantime I think a couple deserved mentioning in their own post.

Neil Gaiman is author of a cool little fiction novel I read in college called Neverwhere (I just now see that it is an adaptation of a BBC series he co-created). He’s a very respected sci-fi writer. I think you will find his blog post Entitlement Issues a fun (and maybe valuable) read.

2) Yes, it’s unrealistic of you to think George is “letting you down”.

Look, this may not be palatable, Gareth, and I keep trying to come up with a better way to put it, but the simplicity of things, at least from my perspective is this:

George R.R. Martin is not your bitch.

Back to Twitter: Wired recently published 100 Geeks You Should Be Following on Twitter. There’s bound to be a name you recognize on the list. I added a ton to my Google Reader’s Twitter folder. A few of note from my subscriptions (most from the list):

The Kevin Smith
Dr. Tiki, Lala, and Johnny Johnny of TikibarTV podcast fame.
Nathan Fillion (for all you Browncoats out there)
Felicia Day of Dr. Horrible.
Marc Cuban (I also subscribe to blogmaverick, his blog)
Trent Reznor
Grant Imahara and Kira (she’s pregnant!) of Mythbusters.

And a big happy birthday to Nick!

A quick edit: work hours are not spent perusing blogs! For every blog/twitter subscription, I have tons of news feeds going on, including a folder dedicated to several financial news feeds. If you ever want to see my entire list, I can export the OPML file so you can peruse it on your own rss reader.
