Shamelss self promotion and the day the music died.

I just launched the beta test of BordersYouNeed.com and I'm waiting for someone to buy something so I can test to see if it works. This is a website that sells photoshop files that allow you to add cool, hip and fresh borders to your images. I hope it does well. I have a unique opportunity (thanks to my day job at CPQ Professinal Imaging) to promote this site to a lot of professional photographers, once I've made sure all the bugs are worked out. If you use Photoshop you should at least check it out. Right now everything is 1/2 price.

Man I used to buy a lot of music...a lot. About the time I got married ('99) my music buying seemed to dry up to nothing! I miss music. I would say in the last 5 years I've bought less than 15 CD's new or used...and that includes free downloads from online.

Nothing particular to say about it other than I just miss having new music. But alas, kids, wife (singular), jobs, bills and adulthood comes in and changes the landscape of your life. For the most part thats a good thing...I know I wouldn't trade it...I just wish I could have the music too. :-)

Currently Listening To: Neighborhood 2: Laika by the Arcade Fire (this was a free download from Emusic).

Sorry, I cannot hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Sorry, it's been a while since I posted. I still don't think people are really reading this so I haven't been compelled to really post a lot.

What has happened since I last posted? Well lets see...Christmas and New Year's have come and gone and we all survived. I have swayed my wife over to the dark side with a fake Christmas tree.

Election buzz is in full swing and although I want Mike Huckabee to win I don't konw if he will...yeah, I said it.

I haven't really heard any new music or seen any new movies (although I did watch Batman Begins for the 3rd time the other night...such a good movie!) I bought some harmonicas and fiddle around with them from time to time.

So what's going on? What am I doing? Well its Friday night and I'm partying like a rock star. Actually, I'm trying to be quiet because my kids are asleep. I've been living la vida loca all evening by doing website work and washing some bed linens. I AM A WILD MAN. I cannot even hear you over the sound of how awesome I am. But you already knew that.

Believe or not though, I'm not bitter about this stuff. My wife is at work at Steak'n'Shake right now...and that, I am a bit bitter about. Not at her, just that she has to work to help support our family. How is it that my full time job plus all of the "on-the-side" web work I do, doesn't support my family? Ah, well. Welcome to the American Dream...hope you brought your credit cards!

Anyway...I guess that's it. I will go back to trying to crack the nut that is ColdFusion (a web language) for one of my client's projects. Hold me back people...it's about to get crazy up in this hizzy.

Last Listened to: Poor Old Lu, Where Were all of you (from 'Sin'...going back old school)
