• Megami

What’s more annoying; waiting in vain for hours for the cable guy to come and fix your phone … or figuring out that your kids have jammed so much crap into the phone jack that no one can make phone calls.

Everyone’s favorite local cover band, ColdFront will be opening up for Dokken on the 16th at Star Central. Be there.

Still not 100% sure if I’ll be there yet — ask me in the morning.

Update: I’ll be there.

at some point in life you wake up and realize that you may have crossed the line from cliche into parody — then what — where is the bridge to ironic

It was ten years this spring that I started at LaserMaster. The picture is the back of last t-shirt I got from the last project I was associated with at LaserMaster.

I left LM, er Colorspan actually, eight years ago this spring. LM was a pivotal experience for me and even though it was difficult I still miss the place some days.

I’m retiring all my old employer provided t-shirts. The t-shirts represent product or company milestones — each of which came at a high price one way or another — none of them were “free“. I am thinking of having them made into a quilt.

Good news! There is a pool on flickr for odd industrial warning signs.

Sunset from the deck.

I got the email with the summer concert line-up for one of my favorite bands, Bowling for Soup. Looks like the closest they will be is in Milwaukee on the 4th of July at Summerfest.

Anyone up for a road trip?

Seriously, you’ve never really rocked if you haven’t rocked in Milwaukee.

I love this remix of classic art.
