Not unlike my reaction to Michael Jackson’s death, I wasn’t surprised but still sad to hear about Vibe Magazine‘s decision to call it quits today. I mean, at this point, no one is really shocked to add one more magazine to the already long list of fallen soldiers. It’s [...]

Phoenix was so good last night at The Wiltern! I had an awesome time. Everyone seemed to have an awesome time. Great set list. Great sound. Great energy. Great show. After their encore, the house lights came up and “Rock With You” by MJ came on. [...]

I recently was gifted a Simplifi, a new device made by Griffin Technology that is a iPod/iPhone charger and dock, a card reader, and a USB hub that plugs directly into your computer (it comes with an AC adapter but is not needed in all situations including mine). It reads both CF [...]

You did your thing, Michael, and did it well.

I have so many thoughts about Review Santa Fe, and I am going to attempt to organize them right now. Also, I am a fan of a good list. So, here I go.:

I am back from Review Santa Fe and still somewhat sleepy from all the work my brain had to do over the past 4 days.  I will post something more thoughtful tomorrow…I’m pretty talked out right now…but here are some pictures from Saturday night in Santa Fe.  Amber Terranova of PDN [...]

Images still are not uploading so you just get some rants today.  I just finished four reviews, and I must say I haven’t felt this out of my element in a long time.  Not that that is a bad thing at all.  Sometimes, I think it’s good to be uncomfortable.  It makes you realize that [...]
