i think i might be a panhead

March 28, 2008

Last night, Minneapolis was the first stop on Skillet’s Comatose tour, with Thousand Foot Krutch and Decyfer Down. It was at Club 3 Degrees, which is a small Christian club on 1st and 5th downtown. Tiff and I went with a friend, and met up with one of my coworkers and a couple friends [...]

why must mediacom be so terrible?

January 9, 2008

Where I live (Savage, MN), I don’t have much of a choice for high-speed internet other than Mediacom. They are the local cable company.. I don’t qualify for DSL, the wifi services in the area don’t reach me, and a T1 is just too expensive (and slow!).

April 6, 2006

Today, I ran into this link again:
http://www.kondra.com/circuit/circuit.html
It discusses how to set up monitoring of your circuit panels to get detailed information on how much each circuit in your house is using. I’ve been looking to implement something similar at home, and I fired the author (Dave) an e-mail asking where he purchased his gear. He [...]

STOMP!

September 27, 2005

My wife decided to surprise me, and picked up tickets for the Stomp show at the Ordway tonight. I’d never seen the show before; it was a blast!

why switchfoot rocks

September 19, 2005

Switchfoot’s new album shipped with (weak) DRM on the album media – it’s that Sony “DRM” that installs a TSR under Windows that prevents you from ripping the album. Apparently, though, the band was very upset with the fact that DRM was included, and has posted a guide on how to get around the DRM. [...]
