• Convince me to switch

  I have always had this crush on Apple. Perhaps it's the fact that I started off with Apple's (before color screens). Perhaps it's the fact that Macs have always worked for me. Perhaps… Read More

• Developers, Meet XHTML. XHTML, Meet Developers.

  Now that we're all introduced, hopefully we can become friends. Maybe it's me, but I've noticed that web developers seem to have this aversion towards XHTML and using web standards.… Read More

• Critiquing web design

  I've got an opinion and I'm nitpicky. If you want a review, you better really want it.

• Using a competitors campaign for benifit

  Every once in a while a competitor comes out with a great product, and there is no other solution but to combat this product with one of equal value, but from your brand. Confused… Read More

• Free music. No, really.

  Now, I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but there is free music all over the net. Legitimately free. You see, while there is the open source community for computers,… Read More

  Wow. What a week. Only three short days at a design firm and I feel as though I've learned so much, yet have so much more to learn. You know, I used to pride myself in thinking… Read More

  For a short moment, this blog will be on hold. I intend to publish a new post at least once a week, but this week has been far to hectic for me to go through with the whole… Read More



Slightly Stoopid: Everything you need

Slightly Stoopid are driven by two guys that were in essence, godchildren of Sublime. They've got that So-Cal, mellowed out feel combined with some hypnotic hip-hop sounds. This full length includes full instrumentation, although most of the beats are computer-generated, they work well for the style. While listening to this CD I almost feel as though the room starts to fill up with smoke and everyone in the room gets a fat smile on their face.

• Album: Goddamnit
• Band: Alkaline Trio
• Play Time: 35:40

Buy Goddamnit »

I love Alkaline Trio. Maybe it's their loose sound that just comes across as great. Maybe it's the cigarette-filled voice coming across the microphone. I'm not really sure why I love these guys so much. To be honest, there's nothing spectacular about their playing or their music. But it all comes together in the end, and so I present to you Goddamnit. This is one of their older CDs and I believe their best. Also home of one of the most depressing songs in the world "Enjoy your day." Almost makes me cry whenever I listen to it.

• Album: Any Time Now
• Band: O.A.R. (...of a revolution)
• Play Time: 2h 8m

Buy Any Time Now »

Of a Revolution are truly a gifted group of individuals. They liked to describe their sound as "island-vibe reggae roots rock." That's one mouthful of a genre, but it's well worth it. Their extraordinary Any Time Now CD is an excellent example of their talents. The album is a two-disc live set filled with great songs from their repertoire. If you're into reggae and jam bands, this band will defiantely be down your ally. If not, then I'd honstly suggest skipping it. There seems to be some sort of love/hate relationship betwen O.A.R. and their fans.

• Reason for blogging

  I hate the word blog. Whenever I read it I think "yet another 12 year old behind the wheel." But blogging changed. Big time. Before I put this web site live, I took a moment out… Read More

• Opening Reception

  I'm going to kick this blog off with a good old fashioned design review. It may be boring to those normal folk out there, but for those design geeks this is as good as it gets.
