https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-June/000083.html Considering it is 2:40am, I’m sitting in a Freenode chatroom (#Ubuntu) with over 1000 other geeks, and until just a few moments ago was eagerly anticipating the scheduled release of the next version of Ubuntu. Not only did I feel the Internet noticeably slow (okay that’s hyperbole), I’m watching before my very eyes a… Continue reading Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is released, I possibly have no life

Life is a roller coaster
Whoever first made that analogy was dead on. The musical aspects of my life certainly have cycles, but now I’m beginning to see that those cycles are even part of much larger peaks and valleys. Let’s take a look at the history. When I graduated high school and started college, I was: Leading worship in… Continue reading Life is a roller coaster

A Perfect Computing World
I have a dream. In this dream, all our digital content is stored securely online in public data farms. Higher-education institutions have teamed together with goverments and the world’s largest corporations to create an infinite amount of storage space on the Web. Every person with access to the Internet also has access to this StorageWeb.… Continue reading A Perfect Computing World

TechCrunch – A technology blog that… Continue reading Personal Update
The Mile Wide Road Conspiracy
(this is a long post, so brainless zombies should skip to the pictures at the end) Some years back, I heard a rumor from my buddies that there was an old shady road at the west end of Speedway.

Jenny’s Got a Gun Blog
Sorry, no more Aerosmith references, I promise. Jenny hooked herself up to xanga (without my help I might add) and has officially joined the blogosphere.

PODful Birthday
My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, and I’m now having a decision nightmare. Here’s a little background first: the only mp3 player I own is a 512MB iPod Shuffle, and I haven’t bought any guitar gear in almost 4 years! I can’t decide what I want for my birthday. I really want… Continue reading PODful Birthday
New Job and New Chapter in Life
I’ve been hired as the assistant audio engineer at Pantano Christian Church, one of Tucson’s semi-mega-churches. There will be good times ahead. Currently, I’m responsible for running the monitor console, as well as front-of-house when I’m needed.
