      Read in bed with the Kindle last night, I can't believe how happy I am with that thing. A device I never thought I wanted/needed and now I love it.

      Blah. Researching this GDPR shit and realizing I’m gonna have to re-write a lot of my privacy policy stuff. Fun.

      Also the ‘ol RSI is really acting up today.

      Nice spring day today in Portland. Feeling in a punk-music mood.

      I've decided to get into baseball more this year. No real reason besides that I love baseball and I I think having things to distract me from reading/watching the news is a good thing.

      If you learn that someone is speaking ill of you, don’t try to defend yourself against the rumours; respond instead with, ‘Yes, and he doesn’t know the half of it, because he could have said more.’

      I am loving the Switch. Mario Kart is so fucking good. What a great birthday gift.

      Yeah, the new Kacey Musgraves album is good.

      Websites that summarize other people's articles to the point where they're almost longer than the original piece piss me off. Knock that off. Just link to the original!

      Alt Press does this all the time with long form writing from other sources. They just re-write the piece instead of sending a link to the original. Ticks me off.

      Feeling like it's time to go on a The Beatles binge.

      When I start hating a movie and making fun of it Hannah gets annoyed. I shouldn’t start pointing out the flaws in awful movies until after. I feel bad. :-/

  • 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.
