I have come to the conclusion that it should absolutely be harder to vote in a major election. In fact, it should be wicked hard [spoken using a Boston accent]. Why? Because I want elected leaders who have policies that appeal to the movers… to the get-up-and-goers… to the put-the-potato-chips-down, turn-off-Oprah, and-let’s-go-vote-right-now-ers. I want votes [...]
I know… I know… it seems that I really don’t even blog anymore… all I do is play guitar and travel. Well, there are worse fates. I’m being treated to a Cape Cod getaway by my wife as a birthday present (yes, my birthday is the 4th of July). I’m planning on some rest and [...]
Marriage. House. World domination. Full time job. Devotions. Tanning. Swimming pool. Three bands. Tau neutrino detector. Blog. Budding Flash portfolio. Expanding waistline. This is all an awful lot to juggle (jiggle). I wanted to shout out to all my homies and peeps to let you know that the rumors of my senility are moderately exaggerated. [...]
Hundred Monkey Theory will be playing 7pm this Friday (tomorrow) at Samuel’s Coffeehouse in Clifton Park, NY. Usually these type of gigs are purely acoustic because of the smaller intimate settings, but this one will be electric, with myself on electric guitar and Dave, our drummer, on a full drum kit. If you come and [...]
Candor is a blogging cornerstone. If you want to blog you better have something to say and have the chutzpah to say it. Otherwise, what is the point? And if what you’re blogging poses no danger of offending someone then your content is probably devoid of any intellectually substantial thought or discourse. Have I offended [...]
The band :: McClaine Tribe. The mission :: to boldly go where no 37-year-old-male-fronted band has gone before. No, I’m not 37, but Steve McClaine is, and his group of audio marauders now go by “McClaine Tribe”. And yes, I would be his crazy electric guitar player. Check out our website. I do break away [...]
I’ll be playing electric guitar for Steve McClaine at the coffee house at Grace Fellowship Church this coming Friday night starting at 7:30pm. The show will be different from the Hundred Monkey Theory gigs you may have heard me play before at the coffee house. Steve McClaine’s style is heavier with electronic loop-based influences. We’ll [...]
Many of you know I play guitar. As such I have a particular fancy for the so-called guitar solo, also widely known as the “electric” guitar solo. This beauty was a staple of 80′s hair metal, but it’s musical role is a device that transcends all styles and genres of music. Today the term guitar [...]
It is true. Terra Nova Church is featured on the cover of the latest Metroland, Albany’s über-alternative weekly newspaper. [Click here for the whole article] Now you may want to know why a liberal, left-hugging periodical not known for being faith-friendly would take front-page notice of a conservative, Biblically-based church? Let me suggest that Terra [...]

I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
