Mad skillz can only be half of it…

Posted on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 in Babbling, Music, Plugs.

I found a guitarist the other day that really caught my ear and eye. The guy’s name is Newton Faulker. Your best bet is searching for him on YouTube.

Which the only reason I suggest that is because he’s a red haired, dredlocked musician who has phenomenal guitar skills… But when I listen to his album, Hand Built By Robots, I wouldn’t know half of the stuff he was doing if I hadn’t of watched him do a video or two.

And that’s the interesting thing as a whole which is sad. I’ve run across guitarists like him who have amazing technique, but if you didn’t watch them play? You wouldn’t know it.

I really don’t have much today… Still brain-fried with a ton of stuff, but I promise I’ll have some good stuff soon… I hope.

Viva Chuck Todd!

Posted on Sunday, June 1st, 2008 in Babbling, Plugs, Political Musings, Sunday Share.

For this Sunday Share, I want to share something very cool that I found the other day…

Yup, you read it right… Viva Chuck Todd! A site that celebrates the commentary of Chuck Todd, one of my favorite talking heads out there (if you hadn’t figured that out by now). A very well spoken man, its about damn time that someone recognizes how awesome he is… And speaking of how awesome he is…

Oh, and by the way, this blogger here wouldn’t mind if someone got him one of the organic shirts in XL… If you need my address, let me know… :)

A bit of a different sort of Sunday Share…

Posted on Sunday, April 27th, 2008 in Plugs, Sunday Share, Vacations.

Good morning, folks. As you read this, I’m sitting in a car beside my lovely wife and heading out of state for a little post final R&R (and some other things, but that’s another post). Yup, again I’m posting a prewritten draft from my cell phone.

And seeing I’ll be gone for a few days and I’ve already queued up to this point, well, I wanted to keep things a bit fresh and different for y’all here, so I’ve asked some of my friends to fill in with some content each day. I have no idea what they’ll even be posting myself, so this’ll be a treat for you and for me to read some content from them. So for today’s Sunday Share, I’d like to plug each and every writer who’ll be taking over in my absence.

Goob - The owner of both Shyzer.com and HeyItsFree.net, I’ve known Goob in the online sense for almost two years now. A very funny writer and a world traveler too, he’s always got a wonderful twist on anything and everything I’ve read from him. And when he actually remembers to update Shyzer, its a damn good site. There’s your hint, buddy. I’m reading and just waiting on your updates.

Karen - The owner of Siren.org, the photographer behind KarenLisa.com, and half of the team of TheWeddingCouple.com, I’ve known Karen since my freshman spring/summer at UCF (we’ll leave years out so she and I don’t feel too old). And I’m proud that I could have been a subject of one of her shoots with my buddy Mikey way back in August.

Rob - While not a blogger in the blogging sense, Rob keeps a LiveJournal which I’ll spare the linkage to. But I will link to his animation. Rob was my freshman roommate and had to put up with sights normal folks haven’t seen. Me? I was subjected to a lot of Vanessa Carlton, Good Will Hunting, and biscuits and gravy. Whether he remembers half of those stories or not.

So there you have it folks. Other than a saved entry from me for a specific day, you’re stuck with these wonderful folks. I’ll probably have them back from time to time when I’m on trips or unavailable, so you can get used to seeing their wonderful faces around here. And as for me? I’d better grab another carrot and pump up some Webbie on our mix CD… Sarah and I have a long trip ahead of us. I’ll see you again soon and I know I’m leaving you in good capable hands…

Waste of my time upgrading, I feel…

Posted on Friday, April 25th, 2008 in Plugs, Webmaster Woes.

I log in to clean up some back-end stuff and I get a notice that 2.5.1 is available. So me, wanting to keep on top of things, figure I might as well upgrade. And especially because 2.5.1 was supposed to fix the media uploader issues that 2.5 had.

I can securely say that they don’t. Ah well. Here’s to 2.5.2 coming out soon and fixing it. Or not…

By the way, speaking of updates in case anyone missed it last time around, my downloads are working again. If I do work on my new album, shed some light and upload it here for free consumption second week of May, I’ll probably disable the other ones for the time being, just to ensure that I have enough bandwidth for the new one to be downloaded… So grab them now before I disable them. And if you see fit, please don’t hesitate to chip in a few bucks to help pay for bandwidth. Thanks…

Sharing something of some friends…

Posted on Sunday, March 16th, 2008 in Babbling, Plugs, Sunday Share.

I decided for today’s entry, I’d like to do something a little different for my Sunday and share a video that I’ve recently watched. I might have to do this regularly, but I wanted to start out with this one. I have to credit my friend Rob for coming up with the idea, seeing he regularly shares a J-Pop song on his LiveJournal every Sunday…

Even though I have a small readership and most of the folks have probably already seen this, I thought that it would be fitting that I share it as my first Sunday Share. Hmmm, I like the ring of that…

So this is a film that some friends of mine did for the Campus Movie Fest. Definitely a cool festival, and these guys did a great film. I loved what they did last year with The Importance of Playing Yardball, so its no surprise that this years was just as amazing. Or at least in my opinion. Kevin Allen, Matt Deicke, and the rest of the cast/crew did an amazing job. And I feel bad just naming those two because when I saw the credits, I know like most of the people on it.

I’ll let you be the judge of that as I present: The Caterpillars

And if you like it, please head over to OurStage.com, sign up, and vote for them… Great honest folks doing what they love: something we can all get behind.
