      Someday I wanna write a book. Before I die I wanna write and sell a book that'll probably suck and most people will never read.

      I wish there was a way to track what Tweet made someone unfollow me. Like, when/why did Chad Gilbert from NFG stop following me? Haha, what did I do or say to piss him off?

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I like this Dreamcar album, but think it would have been better as an EP. Some really strong songs, some not so strong songs.

      Chorus 2.0: 605 files changed, 56959 insertions, 14765 deletions.

      And most people will probably barely notice the differences. Heh. (Hopefully all done by the end of next week.)

      Revamped my custom start page in Safari over the weekend. I know, I know, big weekend. Went a little crazy. Gonna have to reign those crazy nights in.

      Somehow the Yankees are good again. I feel like I should be a fan just because it would push so many buttons to be a Yankee fan.

      Go Yankees.

      All caught up on Amazing Spider-Man. Enjoyed 'Clone Conspiracy' quite a bit. Really glad I decided to get back into reading comic books and binge on basically all of the Spider-Man/Verse stuff. I think Spider-Gwen is my favorite (the colors, the art!), with Miles being a close second.

      It's been a really nice distraction during this bullshit year so far to escape into this world. I'm going to try and keep up monthly now with all the Spider-books.

      Too many of my nights end with me not wanting to answer emails ...

      I forgot how much I missed reading comic books. Been a really great stress reducer over the past week or so to dive back into all the Spider-Man books.

      For some reason when I built this site originally, my buttons between the forum and main site got ever so slightly different styling ... I don't know why I did that. Weird. I need to change that.

      In hindsight I probably should have not been as ambitious on grouping changes together for the "chorus 2.0" update. Probably should have done one update of all the little-ish improvements, and then another of the three or so "big" changes.

      O well, live and learn. Getting close.

      I've had RSI issues for years. It got specifically bad over the past month while doing all the coding work on the next round of Chorus updates, so I have moved to using a trackpad instead of a mouse during the day to try and switch it up and put my hands in different positions. So far it's helping. Some.

      Time to catch up on the music I haven't yet heard that got released this week while posting news ... this new Mew album sounds pretty good so far.

        The Scarlet Spider looks really cool. I always loved that suit

      Fun day of music releases. Lots of stuff.

      And I've got to edit a giant podcast episode later ...

      I want to add Apple Pay to this feature I'm working on, but really don't wanna drop $99 for an Apple Developer account just to create a sandbox to test it and make sure it works given that's basically all I want to use the account for.

      Shit.

  • About

    I’m a writer, music enthusiast, web-developer, typography geek, and a coffee and beer snob. Sometime around 1996 I created absolutepunk.net — a music community to discuss under-appreciated music I loved. Over the next few years, it got popular. Then it got really popular. The goal of the website was to introduce people to new music and provide a community for people to discuss music that was not often heard in the mainstream. Oh, and for me to whine and moan about things I felt like to a chorus of “why is this news!?” posts.

    In 2004, I (sold-out and) sold the company while staying on to keep running AP.net and manage a variety of other websites. My passion turned into a job and I drudged through the next few years frustrated. For a while I thought about walking away from the internet completely. However, my passion for music, technology, and a slightly off centered pop-culture remains. So, I decided to take a chance and with that spirit build chorus.fm. I hope for this to be a platform to write and share my passions with you, and with that, I also want to continue my vision of a community for music fans looking to connect with kindred spirits.

    I send out a weekly newsletter that recaps the week in music and offers thoughts on music, media, and other cool stuff.
