Dear iPod

Dear iPod, Over the years that I've had you (as your second owner), we've had our rocky times. You've worked well with both my Windows and Mac workstations -- that's a plus. Your battery life is damn near useless (and I understand that's not really your Read More...

Two minor things you may or may not know

For the record, Aly & AJ's Potential Breakup Song is one hell of an earworm , but it sounds really good on my work desktop's speaker/subwoofer. I've got it cranked up loud before anyone else gets here. I have finally found out what is more annoying Read More...

Coolest musician on the planet

The more Steph and I listen to Brad Paisley , the more impressed we are. (Those of you who don't know who he is, he's a country singer. If you don't like country, that's fine, you can stop reading, although I suggest you go to the video section of his Read More...

GENIUS!

Earlier tonight while reading my LiveJournal friends' posts, I saw this video: The Mean Kitty Song This video has been cracking me up for hours now. I've watched it, like, a gazillion times, and I still am laughing my ass off. I'm also madly wanting a Read More...

So wrong, yet oddly compelling

A YouTube clip of David Lee Roth performing Van Halen's classic "Jump." Nothing odd there, right? Try it as a bluegrass song. I blame John Scalzi . Read More...

Drive-by memeing

First, I would like it to be known that I am only doing this under protest. I don't usually participate in blog memes, because most of them are damned silly. However, I got tagged on this one by Paul in what looks like a fairly typical spree of spreading Read More...

Country music, Christianity, and Carrie Underwood

For the past several months (maybe even year or two), I've been pondering an essay on how short and overt expressions of Christianity seem to be a staple feature of the country music genre and the severe cognitive dissonance this sometimes produces. Read More...

Multitasking

Dang. I just pulled off something tonight that makes me wonder if Apple wasn't in fact smoking crack when they decided to drop the PowerPC processor in favor of moving to Pentiums. My little Mac mini -- 512MB of RAM, 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4 CPU, was able Read More...

teh sux0r

As you may remember, the local bookstore closed down last year. Today, I found out that our charming little hole-in-the-wall CD shop will be closing down in 6 weeks or so. This bites, because Steph and I try to support small local shops even if it means Read More...

Upon this Rock (or how I learned that sometimes, first impressions are correct)

[Editor's warning: the following is tale of suspense and horror...of mid-80s Christian rock music and youthful prejudice. You have been warned.] Once upon a time, when I was a young and impressionable lad, my sister discovered a really good contemporary Read More...

Guilty pleasures

It's all Steph's fault. No, really. She's the one who introduced me to Il Divo , a new male chorale group put together by American Idol's venom-tongued emcee Simon Cowell. These guys have some serious opera and theater cred, and I shamefully confess that Read More...

Small annoyances redux

Holidays are a time of love, peace, family unity, good smells coming from the kitchen, world peace, and a fluffy bunny for every child. They are also times of high stress, especially for those who are hosting the inevitable gatherings. Lots of chores, Read More...

Small things, big annoyances

I recently posted a round-up of the recent music and videos we've been enjoying here in the Ganger household. One of the songs I took pains to point out is Lion from Rebecca St. James. However, there's a small problem with this song that grates on my Read More...

Music and Video update

It's been a bit since I've talked about music and video, so here we go. Mickie's belated birthday presents showed up (thanks, Mickie!) so I now have Explosive: The Best of Bond to listen to (and watch, since the flip side of the CD is a DVD with several Read More...

Oops

It is probably not a good idea to watch the video for Alan Jackson's "Monday Morning Church" when you've recently lost a friend, especially not when you are wondering how his wife is holding up. I'd imagine that Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss's "Whiskey Read More...

Late night thoughts

Once again, I'm up far too late, trying to fix a raft of computer problems. This time I'm reinstalling my Exchange organization, migrating DNS zones, and trying to install a new reverse proxy web server. The usual. I've got my iPod playing away -- I love Read More...

Jam session, perfection, and suckitude

I was asked by our priest if I could provide some quiet background guitar music for my church's Maundy Thursday service. I agreed, and when time came to head down to the church tonight, I decided to walk. It's only ten minutes away by foot and I can always Read More...

We truly are different

Stephanie and I were listening to the radio in the car tonight. We had it on our local country station since they were doing their weekly countdown and we both like a lot of the modern country music (although by no means all of it). As we were listening Read More...
