City of Brotherly Love

Tomorrow morning I'm flying to Philly with some friends. The purpose of this trip is to see the Seahawks beat the Eagles. We will also eat cheesesteaks, cheese cake and get into mischief. Watch out Philly!

The Most Magnificent Book

While checking scores around the league on NFL.com yesterday I noticed an ad for a Super Bowl retrospective. I thought it was going to be a DVD box set so I wanted to see what the story was. Turns out it wasn't a collection of DVDs, it was a book. But not just any …

Brobee!

Brobee was at my house to greet me when I got home from a visit with my parents. Always good to see you Brobee!

What do you get a wookie for Christmas?

In my quest for Christmas music, I found, probably one of the most confusing albums I've ever heard of. And I listened to it, and it doesn't make any sense. I highly recommend you listen to this once, and then forget it ever existed.

Happy Buy Nothing Day

Yesterday was buy nothing day. And, I was very happy to buy nothing. A trip to the parents house has been good relaxation. Today I didn't even put my socks on. Just schlazed all day. Awesome. My blog posts have even gotten lazy. Maybe I'll actually write something on Monday.

The Last Wild West

Tuesday night I returned from a short trip to Wrangell Alaska. I was incredibly busy both days talking with the people of Wrangell Seafoods about their branding but I must say the area was quite beautiful. I have quite a lot of photos to upload so a more in depth …

New Toys!

The fine gentlemen at Glazers called me yesterday to inform me that the camera I've been waiting for since August was now available for me to pick up. I got to leave work early and headed down to the store. The screen on this thing is HUGE, and the 51 point autofocus …

Black Friday

Tomorrow a vast majority of the country is going to be bombarding electronics stores, hoping to get a "too good to be true" deal on a tv, but settle for flash drives, memory cards, and god knows what else in a rabid rage of consumption. I'm very much glad to be at my …

The Blue Wave is On The Roll

I had no idea this existed...I am speechless. Thanks Jeff, for showing this to me.

The Greatest Image Ever

Ladies and gentlemen. I present you with the greatest image I've ever seen. It's everything I care about in one magical photograph. I wish I could have been there while this was being shot. It's truly magnificent.

iPod Help!

Alrighty friends I have another question and I need all of your input. Currently the only music I have music in is my living room, because that's where my computer is. I'm looking to get one of those iPod dock sound system things to put in my room and move to the …

Thuper Thick

Have you ever stayed home sick without a TV? It's really weird. I want this shit to go away! Boo being sick!

Kiss the Octopus Goodbye

The Blood Brothers have announced today that they have called it quits. They have been a big influence on me for the past 6 or so years. Thanks for all the sweet songs, sweet shows, sweet records. You will be missed.

To Our Friends in the Great White North

For the days of November 19th and 20th, I'll be in Wrangell Alaska meeting with the people who run Wrangell Seafoods as part of a re-branding effort. I've never been to Alaska before so I'm pretty excited. I'll need to make sure to pack some warm clothes!

Football is so extreme this year...

While at the car show with my parents, I stepped over to one of the concession stands to see what the score was of whatever game was on the TV. I saw the Minnesota Vikings about to kick a very long field goal against the San Diego Chargers. The kick was short and I …

Christophe Huet, Professional Retoucher

Christophe Huet is a professional retoucher that takes images that look like this:

And makes them look like this:

Some seriously incredible retouching work, and I'm surprised how much stuff actually isn't done in camera. Very inspiring how he can take such drab and …

Refused are Fucking Dead

So bummed this band broke up well before I was ever able to be a part of this. What a great band they were. I was listening to this album a lot this past week and realized every single on "The Shape of Punk to Come" would be so much fun in Guitar Hero.

Finally Making Internet

After Ruben helping me out and working with this here blog layout I was able to re-design the D.O.E./Utility work blog in under 8 hours today, which is a big deal for me to design and produce something that quickly. This shit can be tons of fun and I'm glad I'm finally …

The Bean Has Sprouted

Last night I was privileged to see Joanna Newsom play Benaroya Hall, accompanied by an orchestra. It was very beautiful and one of the more awe-inspiring things I've witnessed lately. I had a bunch of other stuff written here, but you should really just listen to her …

Thanks Nerd!

I'd like to thank Ruben for helping me get my blog in order a little bit more. The php loop started outside my entry div and so everything after was nested inside each other until the end of infinite and everything was broken. I still have to format the comments …
