On January 25th, 2005, I received my current computer in the mail, a Mac mini. At the time, I was doing an Eco League semester at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, AK. I bought the computer because the five-year-old iMac DV I already owned would have cost me something like $450 to ship to Alaska, [...]

We’re trying a little something different here. I’ve uploaded a new plugin that is supposed to let us have podcasts that you can play right on the site or that you can download directly to your computer. I have no idea if this is going to work when I push the “Publish” button. If it [...]

Back on my birthday, my brother, sister-in-law, and niece gave me a gift certificate to the iTunes Music Store, which I used to buy a bunch of new music. Over the last four months, Dawn and I bought a bunch of other music, but I didn’t have the opportunity to review it for you, for [...]
So, for my birthday, my brother, sister-in-law, and adorable little niece gave me a gift certificate to iTunes. Since I’m waiting for my computer to chunk through an unnecessary repagination of a 129 MB Word document…
(Dear Microsoft: when I change the tabs on one paragraph, it does not mean that I automatically want the [...]

If you know me in real life, and you’re looking for something to do on April 22nd, and you got $10 in your pocket, Keller Williams is playing the Spring Concert up here at Green Mountain College ($15 on the day of the show).
If you haven’t heard of him, Keller Williams is similar to Martin [...]

For the second time in as many albums, Blues Traveler has disappointed me. It’s kind of sad, because these guys, even more than Phish or the Grateful Dead, were my first real musical love (well, my first “mature” musical love — I refuse to count Bon Jovi). I remember the first time I heard them. [...]

I absolutely love music, but at the same time, I’m pretty lazy and forgetful. Which is why, ever since its debut, I’ve been a massive fan of the iTunes Music Store. Whenever I’m in the mood to hear a song I don’t have, I click on over to the iTMS, drop 99 cents, and start [...]

There’s something special about Camden, New Jersey, and they want you to know about it. It’s not that they were named America’s most dangerous city in 2004. Make sure your sound is on, folks. (This is via James MF Stone via Adam Morriss. Credit where credit is due, folks.)

People say I’m crazy doing what I’m doing.
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin.
When I say that I’m o.k. well they look at me kind of strange.
Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game .
People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away.
Well they give me all [...]

I’m three minutes and twenty-four seconds into the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony album, E 1999 Eternal, and it is exactly what I want to hear when I put on hip-hop/rap. In the words of this white boy in Vermont, rap don’t get no better than this.
And the best part is that I didn’t even know it until [...]
