The folks there came up with this rad idea to have people send in handmade cards and they would put them on their website and sell them, with 100% of the proceeds going to Elder Craftsmen.

Keith Murray for President...or something. →
This just in: Keith Murray is nominated for President of the Universe! Oh wait, that was a typo. He’s actually among the noms for NME’s Sexiest Man. Why is this blog worthy, you say? Well, Keith’s sis Caroline is a friend of mine and she sent me a note telling me about it. I then started thinking about what I would do if my brother was nominated for such a title and it did...

It’s time we all admit that there is nothing cool about haiku. Unless you are, in fact, from 19th century Japan, I don’t want to hear yours.

One of the many things I love about the show “My Name is Earl” is that they make websites for the most random things mentioned on the show.

I used to be a hippie. I mean, I used to “cope the pope” and go to drum circles and listen to Phish. haha That seems like a million years ago, and I haven’t done any of those things in a long, long time. I think some of the less obvious “granola” characteristics are still hidden inside me. I can’t say I listen to much of the jam band/Reggae/roots scene now,...

Yet Another Nine Inch Nails Link →
It should be apparent by this point, based on several of my recent posts, that I am a fan of Nine Inch Nails. Thing is, I’ve a had a few conversations with friends recently which included the statement “It’s a good time to be a NIN fan.” It is! There is “news” coming out every day that I find myself fascinated by: conversations about the state of the music...
