Michael Phelps has lousy taste in music
Michael Phelps iPod packed with urban pump up tunes - MacUser
.
I knew he had an achilles' heel... Usher? Outkast.. what is he? 12 years old?
Now what?
A mishmash of thoughts on religion, life, technology, and whatnot.
LastGraph – Visualize Your Listening Habits
All of these music listening tracking services are pretty cool. I'm a Last.FM user, personally, though I don't really utilize the social networking aspects of it. Much like Twitter, it's a thing that really only would be useful if all of your friends were already using it. Since I mostly ...
Sprinting to the Finish Line
The school year ends next week and as has been the case all year, I'm sprinting along. There have been very few slow weeks this year, with all of our capital campaign stuff at work and all. One more week and things will settle down... for about 4 weeks at ...
It’s the 1990’s
So here I am, listening to the The B-52's and R.E.M. and Counting Crows.
I decided to check out R.E.M.'s new album, Accelerate after seeing a couple of favorable reviews. Now you have to understand: it would be an understatement to say that I was a MAJOR R.E.M. fan in junior ...
In Vino Veritas – part 2
Came across an interesting article in the New York Times today that talks about an issue that I've taken some heat for making a stand on in the past. It's all about whether giving children a taste of wine at the dinner table has an effect on whether or not ...
U23D
Somehow I've missed any news of this at all.. and it's set to start airing
"U23D is possibly the best entertainment experience I've ever witnessed." - Alx Klive, WorldTV, January 10, 2008
"Beautifully shot in crystal-clear high-definition, it's genuinely easy to forget you are watching a concert on screen rather than ...
The Best Music of 2007
Favorite Albums This Year:
• Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
No earthshattering innovation here, just more solid work from Spoon.
• The New Pornographers - Challengers
It sounds like band member A.C. Nielsen took the reigns on this one. The canadian supergroup delivered their best work to date.
• The National - ...
Reviews
Been a long time since I've given some reviews, so here's a big list of stuff:
Apple iPhone
95% - will go to 96% when they finally release Leopard and then add support for syncing notes and to-dos. (Both are built into OSX Mail in Leopard). The other 4% is from ...
Fresh Tunes
I've only heard two songs, but I'm already hooked:
Phonograph - (self-titled)
Discovered this one in the latest issue of Paste Magazine. They were one of the Four to Watch for the month. Apparently they generated a lot of buzz opening for Wilco and they sort of are in that Wilco/Spoon ...
Music Binge
I've been on an absolute music binge the last several days. It started with a purge of a bunch of stuff off of my iPod, and the new stuff keeps coming.
I really am a music addict.
Here's today's special:
Field Music - Tone of Town
For fans of indie rock, Decemberists, Tapes 'n ...

Ron Paul 2012?
I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power.
Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll.
Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
America has an Empire Problem
At its height, the Roman Empire had 47 major military bases scattered throughout the lands under its control. When the British were running their empire, they had 36 bases.
What happened to these empires? The cost of maintaining them bankrupted them. They were unsustainable.
We don't like to call ourselves an empire, ...
Critical Success, Commercial Failure – Cops: Sumatanga
For the last few years, I've come up with a camp rules video for Summer camps. After a couple of years of milking the Turkey Vulture video (part two was never uploaded, I need to find that one), we stole a concept from another camp and went crazy with it.
I ...
Delusional Alabama Fans
From August 2007 MSNBC.com article Alabama gaga over overrated Saban: Crimson Tide pinning national title dreams on good — not great — coach by By Cary Estes
The Crimson Tide went 6-7 last season and has not won a national championship in 15 years. Yet a number of Alabama fans truly ...
A Landmark Day in Technology?
I love how some people are mocking the Apple tablet buildup, point out that Microsoft has had tablets out for years.
Yes, and there were mp3 players before the iPod, but which one is considering the ultimate version of the technology that caused it to take root?
And there were smartphones before ...
