      How do you put a background image like that on your profile? I can't figure it out.

      I have no reason for it but this damn kids playing basketball halftime show is making me emotional and I don't know why. They look like they're just having so much fun out there. Smiling and laughing. Is someone cutting onions in here?!

      I haven't seen 'Wall Street' in a long while, think I'm gonna watch that tonight. Past few days on the site have flown by.

      We've already passed 7,500 posts on the forums, almost up to 100 members, and we've barely just started. This is amazing. Turns out some design tweaks (and an awesome community) really does lead to lots of engagement in the threads.

      I can't believe how hopping the forums are already, seriously blowing my expectations out of the water. I even find myself becoming lost for a few hours playing with things because of how easy it is to find new conversations and threads + how awesome the entire community has been these past few days. Just incredible. I'm still nervous about the future and this year, but less so, because of everyone here.

      Started watching 'Billions' tonight -- this is the most "made for Jason" tv show I've seen in years. First two episodes are right in my wheelhouse.

      Maximum emotion. Minimum facts. I'm ready for the Internet.

      Spent the night drinking beer, listening to the new 1975, and reading the legal motion in the Apple/FBI case. So a pretty good Thursday night.

      I love that people love the new The 1975 like I do. Tonight, on AP.net, in that thread, is why I know making *this* site was the right move and taking a chance is what I had to do.

  • 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.
