A few months ago, Remedy moved from DNA Lounge to Ruby Skye. I haven’t had a chance to check it out at the new venue, so I thought I’d close out 2005 with a three-day party weekend that includes Remedy. A tropical winter storm has slammed into the Bay Area and dumped six inches of […]
This afternoon after work, I went down to Guitar Center in San José to get a small MIDI controller with assignable knobs that I can take with me tomorrow to Idaho — something that will let me write some beats on the plane or at Grandma’s house. I was considering the Korg microKONTOL, which was […]
Well, the day finally came. I bought Serenity after work today. First, I went to Fry’s, who sold out of it. Then, I headed to the Borders near my house. Borders has 50 of them or so. $19.99 with a coupon on it for $10 off Battlestar Galactica series DVDs. There are lots of extras […]
My opposite coast cycling buddy, Seth Dillingham, bundled up and rode 25 miles through 40°F (4°C) temperatures today and completed his 5000th mile of 2005. Quoth the man: Update: now that I’ve caught up on all of my stats, I see this ride put me over 5,000 miles for the year! That’s my third and […]
I recently bought me a 60 gig video iPod to replace my old first-generation 5 gig iPod (which I got at 50% off when I worked at Apple). I posted another list most of a year ago on my web site. Thought I’d post the current iPod list here, categorized by genre for your amusement.
Quite a downpour in Northern California this evening! After I overslept my disco nap by about half an hour, I headed up to San Francisco along the 101 running much later than I had hoped. A 20 minute snarl up trying to get on the freeway was caused by the police DUI checkpoint. It was […]
So, after a meeting with my surgeon on December 7, I received an okay to go visit a dentist, to begin trying to figure out the extend of work I’ll require after my crash. So far as I can tell, I broke at least three of my undamaged teeth and cracked a molar crown in […]
My friend, DJ Adnan, hit me with the info about a big underground party at the funky Gingerbread Warehouse. It’s been a while since I went to an underground shindig. Once again, after an extended disco nap, I headed up to the city, found a parking space a moderate distance away, and jumped down into […]
My second party at the loft was definitely not one to be missed. My friends, UNEAQ, were featured headliners at tonight’s UltraSoundsMusic party. The Loft is the upstairs lounge at a Bistro in downtown San José. The crowd tonight was much bigger and excited than the last time I went. It was also my opportunity […]
Xeni Jardin over at BoingBoing posted about a brand-new digital music service, by the former CEO of MP3.com. I’ve seen a few posts by people who are breathless with anticipation of this hot new thing. Except it’s not really a new concept. In 2000, when MP3.com was getting sued by the RIAA, another company had […]
