I wish the iPhone supported Bluetooth keyboards

I have long dreamed of using the iPhone as a blogging device and I do, but only in the most trivial of ways. I post pictures and tweets and things like that, not thoughtful writing.
The reason is simple. I mostly like the little virtual keyboard on the iPhone, but not enough to type [...]

MacBook

Yesterday I took delivery of a new 13-inch 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo MacBook laptop.  This is the first entry I have written with this fine specimen of machinery.  I had avoided replacing my previous laptop (a 1.2ghz iBook G4) until a need presented itself as the old one was doing just fine with handling my [...]

Potluck

Yesterday I started the following blog entry…
Some f***ing motherf***er made caffeinated coffee in the decaf pot yesterday at work. I know this because a) the coffee tasted better than usual and b) my head feels like 1000 jackbooted thugs are holding marching drills on the backs of my eyeballs. I wish I could [...]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog

Last night I was at James and Jennifer’s house and they were lamenting the fact that I haven’t blogged in about a month.  I explained that it wasn’t so much because I wanted to stop blogging as it was that it had simply become inconvenient to post because my technology patterns were different.  I am [...]

random stuff

So here I am at work after the weekend of Esther’s birthday and boy do I ever wish it was still the weekend.  I had a great time and she did too which is about all we could have asked for.  We went to Hastings, Red Wing, Lake City, and also drove up the Wisconsin [...]

Aslan Won’t Save You

This morning I did something I haven’t ever done before. I recorded a demo idea for a new song acapella in my car in the parking lot at the bus station. Typically, when I have an idea for a song in my head I jot the words down in a notebook and then [...]

new equipment…

A breakdown of one piece of equipment lead to the purchase of some new things this week… My PC card slot on my laptop died (tragically). I had previously used this slot for my audio interface (Indigo IO) and for my WIFI card. I had to purchase a new audio interface and [...]

geary gear gear

So I want to record this new album, Songs of Bo Redoubt, and I need some gear to do it with. I recently acquired a couple of pieces of equipment that I need for it being as they are a Line6 Variax 500 guitar and a Fender Deluxe 112 amp but today I got [...]

tomorrow shoulda been a big deal

For years and years and years I have made music. For years and years and years I have not done it alone. Then I went through a change of sorts. I learned things that changed my mind about things. Important things. The (admittedly unhealthy) relationship I was in ended. My friends were forced to distance [...]

In which our hero returns to Eden Prairie and discovers previously unknown feelings

I’ve just started working in a new place, a company called Gelco in Eden Prairie. I have a new commute, riding different buses than before. I work close to the Eden Prairie Center mall, a library, a Dunn Brothers coffee shop where I can get free wireless Internet access and other various places. I’m developing [...]
