Digeum Mix Session 03E

Today is the autumnal equinox. I decided to do a banging house mix full of delicious love songs as I thought about the amazing thing I participated in this weekend. Some transitions still give me a little bit of trouble, but I think my mixing skills are dramatically stronger than they were just a year […]


Peter the MacBook Mechanic

Last week, I got a new right fan for my MacBook Pro, which has been having crash problems for most of 18 months, possibly because the right fan hasn’t worked at all for a long time. I’m pretty used to seeing temperatures, according to smcFanControl, of 165 – 185°F. So, after some frustration, I found […]


Congratulations, Steve and Nan

Yesterday, in a stunning redwood grove near Ben Lomond, California, my friend, Steve, married Nan, a gorgeous brunette with a quick laugh, bright smile, and upbeat personality.

According to iTunes, I could play continuously for 18 hours without playing the same track twice. That should suffice. Early […]


Two Years of CrossFit

Hopefully, soon, I’ll add that barbell to my […]


Digeum Mix Session 03D

Jay Def treated us to another set of aggressive electro house thumps. His track selection is superb and the groove just keeps kicking. I’m totally going to raid his iTunes library the next time I’m in his presence. Don’t mess with Jay Def. He’s bringing it tough and relentless. Damn, brother. Nice job. Digeum Mix […]
