    Promotions…

    by  • 5/29/2004 • life • 0 Comments

    I’m constantly amazed by people who won’t help themselves…. There’s all this whining in the press about how Vancouver’s not fun, and how it’s so boring, nothing to do. There aren’t any live venues to see music played, and there’s just never anything happening. I can’t understand this; there’s SO MUCH happening that I have [...]

    New Model Army audio available

    by  • 5/23/2004 • live music • 0 Comments

    I finally got decent audio recording on the server… had to compile a couple new programs and fiddle with the settings to pull clean audio off my tape. The WAV was sounding good, but was huge, and just wasn’t compressing into an MP3 well at all. That’s fixed, and I have a pair of MP3 [...]

    New Model Army

    Interesting evening all around. Met with Justin Sullivan, and didn’t embarrass myself too much, outside of stumbling on the band’s name once. There’s something about seeing the Cobalt in the light with only a handful of people around… it’s kind of disturbing. If nothing else, I can attest to the fact that they actually do [...]

    Fear Factory interview redux

I had dozens of questions ready, different paths charted out, different approaches to take, and turned out that it mostly wasn’t needed. This was one of those dream interviews, where the interview subject and the interviewer get along well, and can just sit down and [...]

    Interviewing Fear Factory tomorrow

    by  • 5/18/2004 • live music • 0 Comments

    I hate going to interview a band without having heard their JUST RELEASED album. Do I ask them questions about what their 3rd album sounded like, when they may not sound anything like that now? Do I ask big, open ended questions like “What are you guys trying to say with this new album?” Lame [...]

    Yet Another New Web Log System….

    by  • 5/17/2004 • geek • 0 Comments

    I’ve been thinking about moving away from MovableType for some time now. I like it well enough, but there are a number of features that just aren’t progressing and a whole lot more that I simply don’t need or want. Six Apart, the makers of the MT code made a number of licensing changes to [...]

    Don’t piss off geeks.

    Try to rip off a geek and they’ll tear you a new one in their own, not-so-subtle way. The “p-p-p-powerbook” model that was sent to the scammer can be seen at the web page http://www.p-p-p-powerbook.com/
