Gowalla Item I Want Most
Gowalla is dumping items all over Austin in time for SXSW. I want the groovy Explorer-style bass guitar. Can somebody from Gowalla hook me up with where to find one? I can has? Read More
Cheap Thrills
We’ve all heard the announcer scream, ‘A BRAND NEW CAR!” on the perrenial favorite, The Price is Right. Now imagine hearing that phrase in your head as you see the young motorists below as they try not to yawn after getting new cars for Christmas. Compare this with the image of sheer joyous rapture as they cruise about in, “AN OLD LAUNDRY BASKET!” Kids.... Read More
Recent iPhone Apps of Note
Having a lot of fun with the following iPhone apps. Most are free, so satisfy your inner cheapskate. Gowalla - Not sure I am having fun with it as much as I am addicted to collecting stamps and pins (also, I am just trying to catch Jeremy without resorting to checking in to places I haven’t actually visited). Here’s a tip: If you want to be the founder of a lot of locations,... Read More
Upgrading WordPress Issues
Upgrading WordPress has munged all of my categories and looks like it might take a while to sort out. I may need to reverse-engineer each and every post in the database. Sounds like time I already don’t have to waste on such a silly problem. Read More
Very Quiet Around Here
I have been quite lame at posting. I promise to be a better blogger. Can I make it an Easter resolution? It’s my blog. I can do anything I want. Easter resolution it is. Read More

I Need Help
On the way to rehearse with a band in Arlington today, I drank a 12-ounce can of Red Bull. Several hours later on the drive home, I realized that I had not finished it and there was about a third left. I picked up the very hot can (it was nearly 80 degrees today) and drained it without even pausing. I am starting to appreciate how hooked on Red Bull I might be. Read More
We Are Having a Girl!
Julee had a sonogram today and we are officially having a girl. Sugar and spice and everything nice; that’s what little sisters are made of. Jason and I are waking up early for a head start on his years and years of training on being a big brother/blocker/bouncer. You know, for all the riff raff awaiting us in the teen years. Read More
Dear Steve Jobs
Please announce a 3G iPhone next week so I can get one and finally watch YouTube 24/7. My productivity will soar. And by productivity, I mean watching Jimi Hendrix videos until I get fired. Read More
Belated Moving Day
Who knew moving into a new house would be so much harder with a 14-month old child than without one? And if I find myself in Home Depot one more time this week, I am gonna hurl. Read More

Final Post from 2822 Stokely Hill
As I sit here and type this last post, listening to Beck’s Midnite Vultures, the movers (and shakers, apparently) are loading all of our worldly possessions onto an 18-wheeler. Julee and I will miss this house. We were deep into the details of its construction and design appointments. It has been a wonderful home for us. The next month will be insanely busy as a month of...
