I grew up watching television, just like everyone else. I’ve always thought of each channel in terms of its own personality or spirit, so to speak. When a station that…

I bought a slightly used 2000 Honda Civic in October of 2002, and at the time it only had 32,000 miles on it. I was increasingly aware of the coming…
My cousin, Steve Metze, asked me how one could make money selling virtual things. Well, the entire Second Life economy is a lot like the US economy, only it’s based…
I recently got in a discussion about Second Life (a virtual world in which you can live, work, and play) because I just got into it a couple weeks ago.…
I made a mistake and saved over the session file, and it set me back a few versions. So, using the MP3 I had of the most recent version, I…
Construction has officially begun! It will be the place where Symphoniacal performances can be heard, (and eventually seen). If you have a Second Life installed, click here to visit. If…
All late night talk shows (aside from the Daily Show and the Colbert Report) are lame and practically worthless. They’re formulaic, unoriginal, and pander to the widest audience possible. Half…
In case you wondered if cops were all good people by nature, I’ve got some news for you: they’re just people like the rest of us. Watch this video of…
I used to have one of the Bluetooth earpieces, but that was when they first came out. I’ve never been that comfortable with it, and that was long before everyone…
Do you realize that we are mostly empty space? And when I say “mostly” I mean, almost entirely. Not just 75% or 90% or even 99%…we’re something like 99.99999999999999999% completely…
I grew up in a town of about 12,000. Everyone I knew had the same area code and the same prefix to their phone number. For anyone calling from, say,…
I would go through a list of all the changes, but that’d be superfluous considering I’ve started developing a detailed listening guide. Just know that there is a new version,…
Here’s a project I have spent quite some time working on, but not nearly as much time as Dream Theater spent creating the music that went into it. This is…
This is a suite of four songs that I mixed together after I realized that they are parts of a larger body of work that Dream Theater is actively working…
I was obsessed for about a week, and this is the result. I have made some significant changes, and (of course) there are some things I feel need improving, but…
After almost losing all my data in a hard drive crash– Back your important files up RIGHT NOW! I’ll wait until you get back… Got them backed up? Good. Anyway,…
I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner, but at least now it’s done. I’m expecting this to be a great way to connect with people who would enjoy…
This is my cat, Spot, making an unusual sound. I can only guess it’s some sort of hunting sound, but I can’t imagine why it would be advantageous to announce…
Here’s a decent example of a Moluccan cockatoo speaking. https://youtu.be/clKLct2FSjM
I tried to get Rosie to say something, but she was just confused by the black thing I was holding in my hand. https://youtu.be/6k3sUvfHGCQ
I received an email the other day from a family member that told a parable disguised as a political joke. It takes on a distinctly biased approach and misrepresents the…
