TGFRACW (Thank God For Ruffles And Cheez Whiz) Heaven on Earth. Heat the Cheez Whiz till just the edges in your bowl are barely burnt. Perfection. Oh, and get the reduced fat Ruffles. They taste better anyway.

It’s decided. Our first track will be a cover of Cake’s “Friend is a Four-Letter Word.” It has banjo, guitar, and trumpet parts. And they’re fairly easy. Now we just need a bass and a drummer. Any takers? Also a songwriter would be good; might be hard to earn a living on covers. And I’ll [...]

It’s official. I’m quitting my job with Gestalt to play guitar and sing in an indie rock band. I’ll have to sell my computers for a decent guitar, and start an exercise regimen so I don’t drive away the fans. Anybody want to be in my band? My circle of friends is somewhat lacking in [...]

College-age people generally have a like for Disney and Pixar movies, but I’ve noticed a much higher love in computer nerds.

Looking at phones and contemplating actually picking one I want raises the question: what do i actually want from a phone? I mean, obviously I want to make calls. Since I have no land line, my cell phone needs to be reliable, preferably on the best network (currently, this seems to be 3G). I want [...]
