I gotta admit...it's pretty awesome to see my name on the cover! I'll be grabbing a few copies to keep on hand, so hit me up if you want to go that route. Let me know what you think if you pick up a copy!

Well, life changes abound in my world, for those who are interested. A new, incredibly cute baby is, of course, at the center of them. She's amazing, and all I can say is that she may be the best thing I have ever been involved in.

Well, actually, I know she is.

Here's to making her proud by doing something with my silly, silly life.

Enjoy a picture of my little button and dare to resist her adorableness.

Well, time for another site refresh. I'ts still a work in progress, and most of my subpages aren't styled yet. But, this is the new look-- at least for now. It has a bit more art, and some more flair than my previous design. I loved the simplicity of it, but it wasn't very appealing visually. I will be adding a gallery at the top of the page on the right as well, so be looking for that.

Cheers!

I should be seeing this on Sunday when I traipse up to St. Louis to see

The Dark Knight in Imax, but even in a super-tiny web format, Zack Snyder's first trailer for Watchmen is absolutely stunning. It seems like more of a "mood" trailer than a story/concept trailer, and that suits me just fine.

Check it out here.

A well-edited montage of Star Trek scenes set to the "camelot" song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Well done.

I'll admit it. I am a huge Suzanne Vega fan. I think she has produced some of the most inventive music in my collection, and her waif-like, breathy voice is one that I can listen to over and over again. In this article on the New York Times website she discusses her current branding as a "two hit wonder," as opposed to the classic "one hit" wonders. The two hits are both from Solitude Standing, namely "Luka" and "Tom's Diner." I actually came to love Vega's work from her 99.9 F album that came out several years later. I still listen to it regularly and often play bass with it, since the lines are so clean. In any case, I retrocatively got into her previous work and eventually made the connection between the Natalie Merchant-esque Vega from 99.9 and the one presented on Solitude Standing. A great read overall. It's awesome to hear an artist actually comment on these labels that the media applies to them.

Wow, this is exciting news. I never really considered myself a videophile, but after the cheap HD-DVD binge that I went on last month, I am hooked on hi-def. It seems that now, after months of denial, Microsoft is indeed working on a Blu-Ray enabled add-on drive (and possibly a system with the drive included). Depending on the price point, this may turn out to be very, very nice. For Xbox 360 owners who haven't made the jump to hi-def yet.
