so…I am the proud, new owner of a Ovation Balladeer S771 (picture below).
I’ve been playing guitar for 6 years, but only seriously for about 1 1/2 years now. My old guitar is an Epiphone PR-200 (picture below), and although it has served me well, it doesn’t stay in tune as well as it should, and […]

Reilly and I brewed up a batch of J&J’s Rowdy Summer Ale — details to come in a new homebrew blog, soon. And we broke into our J&J’s Rowdy Opening Day Brown Ale, too — damn tasty!

“President Bush has ’some level of frustration with the press corps’ for accounts questioning the U.S. and coalition war plan in Iraq, […]

so…a few months ago my company had a couple of rounds of layoffs. Some of the cuts made sense, and some didn’t — especially the cuts to the development and QA staffs (our only products are websites! hello!).
anyway…as someone predicted *COUmeGH*, we’re swamped, and we’re asking our recently laid-off staff if they could come in […]
