New Run Kid Run!!!
These guys are the best kept secret in pop-punk/powerpop. The music is fantastically catchy, and there's just something different about them... It's deeper and more genuine than most bands in the genre. If this new single is any indication, their new CD is going to live …

The teeth are out.
Dave Roberts came over Thursday night. It was fun seeing him again after so many years. It's amazing to hear from him about how much religious and spiritual oppression there is in Utah. The Mormon church has turned it into a theocracy. For example, many times if you …

I think I'm getting dry socket :\
Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 freaking rocked. Anyone who didn't like it because they thought it was too "sappy" or anything of the sort probably needs a soul transplant. Seriously, it's a sad day when a large contingent of the population are no longer able to connect with the …
Privacy, My Blackberry Pearl Review, Recording Updates, and My Longest Blog Entry Ever
I keep putting off updating my journal because I have so much to write about, but procrastination only makes that list stack up even higher. Sometimes I question why I write in here at all, but you know my generation-- we have to clear our minds.
I've spent some time …
Surf's Up
I just saw Surf's Up tonight. The movie released only 2 days ago, but I was surprised to find the theater largely empty.
The first time I saw a preview for the film-- despite my shock and cringing at the sight of witnessing a preview for yet ANOTHER penguin movie-- I …
Questions to Ponder
Why is it that so many people seem to either blindly and foolishly accept whatever information they hear out of the mainstream media, culture, and government, or else blindly accept everything they hear that goes against it with an overconfident, know-it-all superiority …
The Tuning Spoon
Bet you didn't see this one coming... After a year of "SonicLogic," I've decided to change my studio name once again. It took me over a year to think it up, but I think I've finally settled on a permanent name: The Tuning Spoon. Clever, no? SonicLogic Media was …
Yay! I knew it!
You scored as Miles "Tails" Prower
You're Tails! You're a sweet, innocent, helpful little guy, and it's very easy to be your friend. You're also a mechanical genius! You do feel like you're left behind a lot though, but don't let that get you down! You rock!

Scenes From Maine
The Little Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta. Always a favorite spot.
Doesn't get much better than the Salt Bay Cafe.
Another unique dining spot on Maine Street.
Downtown Damariscotta. I love this place.
The Maine Coast Book Shop (under the theater). The hippest place in …
Protect your ears, darn it!

It's about time somebody in the audio industry spoke up about this. It's, uhh... kind of important.
In case you haven't noticed...
I've kind of stopped writing in here. Put simply, I'd rather put the time I put into blogging towards actually doing the things that I blog about and posting my thoughts in places that more people will actually read (My web sites, various other forums). With everything …
Reality is not a nice little box
My brother wrote a great entry that touches on part of what I (and he, obviously) have been thinking a lot about lately, especially with the Astronomy class I took this semester:

Why I don't miss high school
I've always been a slow, deliberate worker, and an especially slow test taker (Most notably in math-related subjects). In High School, I remember one particular test that ran me about twice as long as the other students. When I finally finished and handed it in, my …

By morning I learn about the evils of private business in my American History course.
By night I find myself amongst an ambitious group of entrepreneurs in the Business school, learning how to build and run a successful business.
It might as well be two different worlds. …

"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you keep on biting and devouring each other, …

Truth, Consciousness n' Stuff
http://www.researchchannel.org/prog/displayevent.aspx?rID=3783&fID=1688
Objectivity... Legitimate scholars actually acknowledging fundamental questions of existence... WOW. I mean, I almost don't believe it. I came across this in transcript form a couple years ago. Turns …

This makes me cry
Poem
They tore down my wallpaper today,
but the light switch plate still holds
to one, small, torn piece of it;
and in that little blue I find
wet nostalgia fills my eyes,
and runs down my cheek like
my brother over the hill
in the back yard near the cemetery
An old dusty …

"where your feelings change but seasons never do..."
Sometimes I say that I'd love it if Summer weather lasted all year round around here, but man... I don't know. I don't think I would trade the changing of seasons and the feelings, memories, sights, sounds, and smells that go along with them for anything.
Besides, …
