When I was a kid, I took piano lessons for a very short time. I ran into the problem that many kids experience: I hated to practice. I came across a free piano lessons email newsletter for adults on “Piano Chords & Chord Progressions” which runs for 101 weeks – two full years of educational [...]

Crazy Gay Videos
We were channel surfing, or had just turned on the TV, or something – anyway, we ended up on Logo, which was airing their “Click List” show that I’ve never bothered watching before. But for some reason we stayed on the channel, and we were treated to two astonishingly bad music videos. Both videos were [...]
Reorganizing Music
I am reorganizing music like a crazy person, now that I have a 500GB external drive for it to sit on. When I first started actually collecting digital music – which I hadn’t really done before – it was in a kind of haphazard manner, with a bunch of tunes all thrown into a directory. [...]

My Last Birthday Present
I figured out that I should not burn whole CDs that I like, because I can just listen to the CD. Instead I am copying songs from CDs where there are really only a couple of songs I like, and that way I can listen to them all without having to swap out a million CDs.
Launch Radio
I prefer Launch to other internet radio stations because I can control the content much more closely.
