      Love when a big project is complete and then I can start working on just cranking out some bug fixes I've been trying to get to.

      Legit thinking of pulling Google Analytics from this website. I just don't know why I need it anymore and I don't think the benefits are worth it.

      New supporter system rolled out, main website server and software upgraded and updated, forum server upgraded and updated. Whew. Not a bad weekend. And only a couple minor hiccups along the way.

      I haven’t had a moment to sit down with the new Converge and really dive in. Gotta do that this weekend.

      I'm afraid to watch movies I loved as a kid and be disappointed. Pippi Longstocking, The Cat from Outer Space ... what if they suck?

  • 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.
