I come from a long line of do-it-yourselfers – tinkerers, mechanics, electricians, and even an engineer. As a result, my first impulse is almost always to try to figure things out on my own. While this does get me into trouble sometimes, my successes so far outnumber my utter failures (utter failures being defined as… More »

On a Tunnel 18 Live Event (& Travel Shock)

Of Clouds and Singing
So, I promised you a longer blog post. Here you go. Thank you for hanging in there while it is taken me some time to get some other items in order. Work, day stuff.

Farewell, My Friend
First, it is my dearest hope that all of you are staying safe, and staying as healthy as possible. For those who can, please work from home, and certainly do what you can to both keep yourself from catching COVID-19 and help keep it from spreading further as well. Second, I have some sad news… More »
Turn off the Radio, Turn on the Video
I am incredibly thankful for my life and the incredibly cool things I get to do. Yes, there’s all the travel and my family and friends and music and building stuff, but… Last fall, I spent the day with some new friends on the Esplanade in Boston.
