November has arrived, and the holiday season, which has already been creeping into life, now will start to take over on a more full fledged basis. Door busters, Christmas decorations, holiday music… the season is arriving. But when’s the right time to break out the holiday music? Continue reading
Recently I flew to Albuquerque to see family and to attend the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta for the first time. Posts about the trip are coming up, but the actual flight part of the trip was eventful for one reason: I had the opportunity to fly on one of American Airline’s newer Boeing planes for the first time.

As I get back into the rhythm of posting, here’s a quick post to share something I saw on The Verge this week that I thought was pretty awesome.

Earlier this month one of my favorite local bands, Mission Zero, released their latest effort, “12345678!,” which goes off in a new direction from their previous music, although sticking with the pop-friendly vibe they’ve been rocking. Continue reading
