Okay, I may have really done it good this time. I just fired off a letter to the editor of the Albany Times Union in response to this piece written by Kate Gurnett. I proofed it as much as was safe in the short period I had to click [Send] before I changed [...]
O Holy Night.mp3 (disabled due to over-traffic… email me for a copy)
Above is a link to the song that I did with the great Michelle Williams this morning for a special music piece at Loudonville Community Church. It’s an arrangement of O Holy Night that Point of Grace did on their first Christmas CD… [...]
Ok, I had to post this: http://media.putfile.com/WizardsofWinter-SM. Some engineer in Ohio rigged up a serious Christmas lighting display on his house and front yard… completely choreographed to some Trans-Siberian Orchestra broadcast an low-band FM. This is getting me pumped to see them at the Pepsi on the 26th!
Here’s an article [...]
Here’s another great Christmas wallpaper from Digital Blasphemy (Don’t you just love that name?). This one goes out to all you secular pagans who want Xmas wallpaper rather than Christmas wallpaper… or to those of you, like me, who enjoy the various sundry holiday traditions that have accumulated in lake-effect style (like Frosty [...]

No better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to listen to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I’ve ripped the 3 CDs into MP3s and plan to listen to them in the background at my desk. I encourage anyone that hasn’t listened to them before to pick up any of their CDs. You [...]
Yesterday afternoon I had a moment… I was sitting on the couch enjoying a Chardonnay and a Lean Pocket while watching news clips of shoppers trampling themselves to finish their Christmas shopping before noon… and I’m thinking to myself that all common sense has gone to pot. Here these people are pushing each other [...]
This so-called Black Friday starts the Christmas shopping season… the high-water-mark of post-modern commercialism’s year. I, too, will eventually crawl out of my dank shadows to partake of the great money exchange. I will endure the acrid smell of taxes generated by the friction of bills on palms and plastic in card readers [...]
