Greetings Earthlings! I’m a musician/artist/engineer/developer, and this is my blog. I don’t post often, but the archive includes topics that ranged anywhere from Google acquisitions, to the latest Apple news, Linux reviews, music, or tips for writing successful songs. Or maybe just a hip Instagram. There are also plenty of gardening, fashion, gourmet cooking and otherwise female-friendly posts from my other half, Jenny. In other words, it’s all over the map. Sit back, hook up to the feed, and enjoy reading.

Music

I occasionally record music with Jenny that usually features an indie-folkish feel combined with some retropop sounds. I also play guitar and keyboard regularly. My current setup includes a Fractal Audio AX8, a Mesa Maverick 2×12, a ’97 Gibson Les Paul Special, an ’06 American Deluxe Ash Tele, a PT-Pro full of goodies, Propellerhead Reason, Apple Logic Pro X, a Nektar Panorama 49 and an M-Audio Pro Keys 88, and an Audient iD22 into an iMac. Some samples of our music:
