I really like acoustic guitar. A lot. I have an m3u of good guitar stuff from all my mp3 dirs with some zeppelin, eagles, mike oldfield, etc. e pointed me to the Rodney Branigan site. Rodney is very very good. How good? Check out the video and see. It’s like coke for a guitar junkie, […]

For those who don’t read Slashdot (enough), the BBC has announced that they’re going to release their audio and video archive online, free for everyone, as the BBC Creative Archive. That’s awesome.

The best part about every movie he’s ever made are the credits. He’s the funniest there. In this movie, Jackie’s father (who guards the Emperor’s Seal […]

Spoilers within. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. I had very high hopes for it, since it fits almost every favorite genre I have; adventure, early 20th century setting, obscure (and not so obscure) references to things outside the scope of the movie, and the pulling together of multiple stories.

The 11th was our 5th wedding anniversary. We’ve lived 4 different place, my wife finished college, I changed jobs once, and we had two great kids. It’s been a great adventure, and I’ve had the time of my life. Cate, I love you more than I ever thought I’d love anyone. Thank you for being […]
