Ok, so I’ve been playing guitar…

Ok, so I’ve been playing guitar…

The thing about blogs is that they are snapshots of someone’s mind (or a group mind) as a function of time. Time passes at a constant rate, yet not everyone has time to dump their mind into clever blog-sized anecdotes at a nice constant rate for the electric ether’s amusement. If you haven’t noticed, and [...]

Kim Komando

Kim Komando

Kim Komando, America’s Digital Goddess, is an über-’puter-savvy talk radio host who has a weekly 3-hour call-in show on over 400 radio stations. For people local to me in Albany, NY, she is on 810 WGY from 1-4:00pm. Her website is Komando.com. I find her show to be a wealth of information. Much of it [...]

Hundred Monkey Theory at Glory Day 2006

Hundred Monkey Theory at Glory Day 2006

Saturday, July 1, I’ll be playing with Hundred Monkey Theory for Glory Day 2006 at Six Flags Great Escape in Lake George, NY. We’ll be on the main stage at 4:30pm for almost an hour-long set of our sweetest tunes! The park is loads of fun so if you’re in the area come on out [...]

Our Money Hard At Work

Our Money Hard At Work

So I’m in line at my local supermarket… and I feel like John Rocker on New York’s Number 7 train. There were strange and exotic specimens littered– I mean literally all over. Even the clerk looked like a crackhead. All in all, though, they seemed to be fairly straight shooters so I’m not going to [...]

Eye Heart City

Eye Heart City

The conspiracy theorists… they’re everywhere. I can remember when one of the earlier versions of Microsoft Office came out, and it included a new font entitled Wingdings… there was much attention given to the fact that the letters NYC, when converted to the font Wingdings, appeared as a skull & crossbones (symbol for death), a [...]

Dear Lord, You Rock!

Dear Lord, You Rock!

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 [...]

Freedom To Versus Freedom From?

Freedom To Versus Freedom From?

I live in the socialist state of New York. We have some of the worst taxes, fees, licenses, registrations, rules, regulations, and surcharges in the entire nation (if not THE worst). Granted, when compared with many other countries none of us here have anything to complain about. But right now I’m talking about inside the [...]

Duckets from Seattle

Duckets from Seattle

If you live in New York (the state, of course) you can get back some of your silver from Billy Gates because of a class action settlement by Microsoft with the Sate of New York. You’ll get $12 for each Windows OS license and $5 for each MS-DOS or MS Office license that you acquired [...]

MC America…

MC America…

As I traveled west today to make the biennial trek to Western New York I relearned something about the “rest” of America that I sometimes forget while living in my suburban-quasi-urban area of the general unitarian wasteland known as the Northeast. I turn on the radio and all the stations were wishing everyone a very [...]
