Re: I just realized
braytoncameron just posted about three things I’d like to respond to. 1. Personal desk items at work: - a Caremark frame. Instead of a photo inside, I have a sticker of a pug with pouty eyes, and below it says “Please be nice.” - a wooden sign that reads “Cubicle Sweet Cubicle”. (from my mum) - mini disco ball with rainbow colors. 2. Getting fired: I feel very...
An emotional job...
This morning, my wife had to inform a mother that her daughter committed suicide. It’s hard to imagine being on either end of that phone call. :(

Mario's Guitar Shop: 1st Edition
mariodonini:This is the first of what I hope will be a continuing series of stories and insights about guitars and guitar-related gear. Some of my current Tumblr followers might find this interesting, and I just may find some new followers too. … This short-lived MIM Stratocaster series had just hit the shelves, and for a 14-year-old under the influence of SRV, Santana, Clapton, and Page,...

Re: Recent recommendations
I removed some recent posts concerning the Apple recommendations I’ve made.

The iPod Touch is a fine product, and I hope anyone who has it enjoys it. I apologize for any confusion, I’ll be...

I love sites like this one. So simple, so mysterious. And HOLY CRAP, the monster just yelled at me. Stay on the site for long enough and it will scare the shit out of you like it just did to me. Turn those speakers up.

I’m listening to The Test Band today. — johnbenson We posted the NYE set on The Test Band dot com. I don’t remember most of it, but I played drums on #93 and #94, keyboards and electronic drums on #95 and #96 (including the most ridiculous sound I’ve ever made on an instrument — the one that got the laughs), and the electric organ on #97. — mariodonini Yeah, this was a...
I saw Once finally, after all the hype...
…and thought it was pretty good, but maybe not as good as the hype would indicate. The music is really well written….depressing as hell, but really really good. I may buy some of their music. But the film made Diana fall asleep, because it seemed to be more of a music video collection of sad lullabyes - like it would fit in the music DVD section moreso than the movie section. I...
In response to a couple topics at hand.
1. Watching movies in any form rules. Whether on a phone, tv, in a theater, or projected onto my ass. Obviously there are preferred methods to experience a film: in the way the writers, directors, sound engineers, etc intended, so that every sound or spec of light is available to the senses, but for EFF’s sake people can do whatever the hell they want. Watching a whole damn movie on a...
