      I have 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' opinions. (Shocker!) Gotta figure out how to word them. Heh. Coming soon.

      We need no more Spider-Man movies and a whole bunch of other spider character movies instead.

      I like the new Sir Sly album a little more each time I listen. Hasn't grabbed me as much as their first one at all, but it's still ... good.

      Working on figuring out how to bring my first impression blog/threads from the supporter forum to the main website for supporters. I think that would be fun. But it's hard to being a forum thread of posts from me ... to a blog format. Maybe I'll add time stamps + a disclaimer to make it clear what it is?

      'The Roosevelts' on Netflix is utterly fantastic. It's a beast, but worthy of the name.

      Hannah's gone for the weekend so I'm watching history documentaries and drinking cheap beer.

      Not a bad night.

      Finally got my vinyl collection all cataloged in Discogs. I have more records than I thought I did.

      I’m watching billiards videos on YouTube instead of answering emails or doing any work at the moment. #selfemployedlife

      Launched Chorus 2.0 today.

      Feeling pretty good about it. So far, all the metrics are even better than I could have hoped for (speed wise). Already have some people buying ads too! Really excited about that, and I really hope it works as well as I think it will. The first group will be a good test of how my automated systems work for approving them, getting them in the database, processing payments, sending emails, automatically getting them on the site on the right day, and that whole thing ...

      Fingers crossed, but this is really cool. Nerdy, but cool.

  • 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.
