Phantom Planet “Raise the Dead” preview
A quick search of iTunes turned up a listing for the new Phantom Planet album “Raise the Dead.” Being one of my favorite bands I’ve been looking forward to the release for a while. The interesting thing about this pre-order for the album is it has a complete 30 second clip preview of every track.

A deluge of good music is coming
Over the next few months a number of bands and artists will be releasing some high profile albums that I’m really starting to get jazzed about. On Tuesday Panic At The Disco will release their sophomore album “Pretty, Odd.” an album I’ve been waiting for ever since I heard a 30 second sample of the [...]
Boys and their toys
I always loved Hot Wheels and Matchbox Cars growing up. The small cars were fun to zip across the floor or ride over the sofa. I never lost that interest in the little vehicles, picking up a few over the years but never really jumping into the collecting realm.

Getting the gallery working
I’ve been working over the last few hours to get a photo gallery working on my site. It’s nicely integrated into the blog and pretty easy to navigate around.

I’ve talked about wanting a new camera as my current digital camera is a few years [...]

One of the fears I had when HD DVD announced it was calling it a day was the already absorbent prices of Blu-Ray players would skyrocket with the lack of competition. In the months leading up to the demise of HD DVD, prices of the Blu-Ray competitor were falling dramatically, with players priced under the [...]
Giving my review
I was digging through a box in a closet tonight looking for my “Encyclopedia Beatles” my reference for all things Beatles, including details of the “Let It Be” film, a subject I am increasingly interested in delving into.
During my digging, I discovered two CDs I’ve been looking for and feared lost. The two were Whiskeytown’s [...]
Talk about something interesting
If you don’t follow the tech community closely you probably missed it. An interview that has implications that were larger than the audience in attendance for it. It involved a Business Week columnist/author and the creator of Facebook.com.
It was billed as an interesting keynote address for SXSW, a conference that brings together technology, music, art [...]
