update 6/2/2024: this was imported from a blog I kept on the University of Cincinnati home page service that they offered to students. Its’ been removed now, how rude, but lucky for me the web archive captured a single snapshot.

Last week I stayed at school to study for a while instead of going home. I went out for a smoke break and on the way I ran into some co workers who invited me out for lunch. One of the professors came with us, and my car happened to be clean so I offered to drive everyone. I was putting my bag into my trunk when the professor saw my bass amp and then we got into a conversation about music.

Long story short, I am now in a cover band and had an awesome time jamming with them tonight. I am so excited about playing some real gigs in the upcoming months. The people in the band are awesome, and everyone just rocks!

It’s so interesting how things happen in our lives. I should have been home, none of this would have happened. This is why we need to be aware of our surroundings, prior to that event I had no idea that the Dr. played any music at all. You never know who you are going to meet, or what opportunities it may open up.

I am looking forward to learning some more fun songs and playing out in town!

What do we do when the facts don't matter?

As a journalist by training, I have what you might call an addiction to facts. I believe that there are things that are true and things that are not, and that we can determine one from the other through observation, rational thought, and meticulous resear…

Back to the Future

This past weekend, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and take a look at the evolution of this blog’s design over the years (with a little help from the Wayback Machine). While I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of making an obsessively backwards co…
