I was stumbling around some abandoned houses (work related) and found this groovy fireplace. It's tile pattern sort of looks like Windows 3.1 wallpaper....

Hip-hop, You Don't Stop on October 20, 2009 in Music , Photos

My comrades Rafael "Flux" Roman and Jason "the Blazin' Azian" performed a few nights ago at Fountain City Coffee in downtown Columbus, Georgia. They played three sets for a total of 15 songs. Since they played the night after Derek and Jacob performed, it was the final highlight of a great weekend. Below are some photographs:Rafael and a special guest.Jason,...

Grandpa in the 1930s Census on October 20, 2009 in Personal , Puerto Rico

A few weeks ago I head down to my local library and tinkered with those family genealogy programs. I'm at a disadvantage with these things, as Puerto Rico has fallen under U.S. Census jurisdiction only for a short amount of time. I was fortunate enough to find an entry logging my grandfather when he was 9 years old.Click below to...

Minus a Few on October 17, 2009 in Music , Photos

My buddies Derek and Jacob ("Minus a Few") performed last night. The venue was metal/grunge orientated, but the response to this hip-hop duo was great. They performed over three of my beats, which was even more of a special treat.Great show. They killed it and executed their act flawlessly. You can check their Myspace here. The photos are a bit...

A Different Kind of School Voucher on October 14, 2009 in Society

I like the market. I do. I am fascinated by its ability to "even things out" and I respect its efficiency and versatility. But there have always been a few fields that I feel should not be the subject of solely profit motives. In fields such as health and education, profit motives should not be the primary motive. This is...

Be Real with the B-Boying on October 12, 2009 in Music

So Crystal enjoys watching "So You Think You Can Dance". Every once and a while she calls me over to get my "honest opinion" on a particular act. Sometimes she likes my opinion, sometimes she doesn't. "She's too skinny. She's no fun to look at," was the last one to draw rolled eyes.I have a few comments to make concerning...

Photo of the Day on October 9, 2009 in Photo of the Day

I was in Auburn, Alabama for a conference this morning when I drove past this building. Terrible terrible facade, if you were to ask me. It's like they stuffed a traditional building into a box and painted it bright light blue....
