Arcade Fire
So far I’m not 100% sold on the new Arcade Fire album, but they were great live on Saturday at the Tower. Don’t get me wrong, Neon Bible is very good, but it doesn’t have the repeatability or depth of Funeral. I still think Funeral was the best album of the last few years, so…

Treehouse Open Mic
Last night I stopped by the everlasting Treehouse Open Mic night hosted by Rich. It’s great to see it continue and as far as I know they’ve been having one for at least 6 years. A lot of new performers (except Bob Michel) were there and most were entertaining. I don’t remember most of their…

KO’D Computer
It looks like my PC just barely outlasted Kurt Vonnegut. After a power outage I found that it won’t boot up anymore. The power turns on and I can hear the drives kicking in and the fans turning, but nothing makes it to the screen. No error beeps either, which tells me it’s either the…

Jeopardy Three Way Tie
I’m a big Jeopardy fan and I can’t believe they had a three way tie on Friday (I just watched the episode). I don’t understand why the champion didn’t bet one dollar more to make sure his winnings would cover the other guys’ maximum bets. When a tie occurs on Jeopardy, the players return back…

College 529 Plan
I set up a 529 College savings plan for Sasha. For those of you who don’t know what a 529 is, it allows us to save money for her college expenses (books, tuition, travel, etc.) without being taxed on the interest gained. Each state has their own plan, but you can use any state’s plan.…

RIP Airport Express
Just a few weeks ago my beloved Airport Express just up and died. The light won’t turn on at all when I plug it in. I tried to take it to the apple store to see if I could get it fixed, but I didn’t know I needed an appointment. I’ll still try and get…

Arcade Fire on SNL
Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) hosted a lackluster episode of SNL last night, but Arcade Fire rocked in all their surprising guitar smashing glory. Supposedly the band played an impromptu concert for the live audience after the credits rolled.Want to to know why Arcade Fire ran off the stage during the closing credits of…
