  • Practice talk for @ignitedenver went really well! Just need to amp up the DANGER!!!! #
  • Listening to people not familiar with Indian folks get stunned on the phone dealing with Indian names never fails to amuse. #
  • That is a dirty, dirty Silurian. #
  • Hm, hoping our roof survived the massive 4:30AM Hailstorm!!! #
  • Dad kicked butt in softball! Go old people! #
  • Ah, the grinding of the contractors down the hall has started early this morning. #
  • Ugh, traffic is so frustrating when I get out of the house this late. #
  • "If you want to work in recording, you need to know Pro Tools." is like saying "If you want to blog professionally, you need to know Word." #
  • In today's world of self-production, people are flocking to tools they can afford, and that let them maximize the hobby time they spend. #
  • And to tools used by other hobbyists, who are willing to discuss and help online… #
  • I think I just put the far future on hold to try and make room for the near future. #
  • A quick shoutout to @DrumArt – their custom bass drum sticker was great, and the free pen they sent me has been shockingly reliable! ;) #
  • I have a drum beat that kicks in when I'm not doing something specific. Realized today that it's basically Run-D.M.C.'s "It's Tricky". #
  • Note also that @PennJillette and @MrTeller are in the original video for "It's Tricky". :) http://bit.ly/lQY5Ti #
  • Never successfully installed an Adobe CS5 product or update on Mac OS without major issues. Never had trouble installing anything else. #
  • I never would have guessed that turning *off* the blu ray player would turn *on* the xbox sound. #40minuteslater #

  • Homemade chipolte cabbage orange habenero salmon tacos went great with Red Hook Wit beer! #
