On this last day of the year many reflect on the past 12 months and look forward to the future. I say screw that reflection stuff and charge forward content in knowing that what's done is done and there is no turning back. My most anticipated for 2006 - The first new Pixies release since '91s "Trompe Le Monde" - An older and bolder album from Smoosh - The sophomore release from The Arcade Fire - Debuting my spring line at the Magic Marketplace ...

ok, so Mikey and I are bizarrely drawn to this...can't stop ourselves...like staring at a train wreck or a meth-head getting his fix...unfortunately we can only hook you up (for the time being) if you are in central vt...JESUS BY JOHN... just scroll down the the ORCA public access page for the info! i am particularly taken by his adept interviewing skills and promises of hell-fire raining down on us,all whilst he drinks coffee, from this big ass dunkin ...

WHAT???!!! you mean it didn't work out for Flav and Brigitte????????????? Ok all you lovelorn, get on the love train

Once again MySpace is down for "Special Maintenance". One would think that Uncle Rupert would give the boys the money to fix things once and for all. The U2 iPod is now absent from the Apple website. What's next? The Kanye West Argyle iPod? Weren't there rumours of a pink (yeah) Madonna iPod? "Black on Black" - WTF? Question of the week. What would posess anyone let alone a mob of 15 to do this? "You might check eBay" - Has anyone ...

Hey all, I'm stealing the TinyTech post this week. Go me! Haha Anyways, as Mikey mentioned in this post we're going to be starting that wonderful podcast up again. We just need to figure out what software and hardware is going to work best for us! So please keep your eyes open because we hope to get the ball rolling on that as soon as we can! Now for some techy goodness! First up isn't really to techy, but I felt ...

Whilst driving to NY today I was forced to listen to broadcast or as Howard Stern calls it "terrestrial radio". I left my iPod at home and was forced to scan aimlessly through the dial searching for anything even remotely palatable. It was all crap I tell you, all crap. Where does one turn to hear new music that is largely ignored by corpoarate radio? McMacalot (Jimmay) put the bug in my ear again the other day about resurrecting a weekly Tinymeat ...

Yesterday I picked up an iPod Nano and rounded out the Tinystable with the wafer thin flash drive unit. Here's a hot tip. Most retailers are out of stock after the holidays but you can get your hands on a used white 2GB model over at Small Dog for $179. Free shipping to boot. These units were returned, probably because the owner was a pussy and decided it was Apple's fault that it was easily scratched. Get yo'self a can of ...

Here's the post where I get to bitch and complain about something I have little control over. Oh wait that's my usual Modus Operandi. Ok here's the deal. When I was a kid the day after xmas was the day when you had zero family/relative/travel obligations and you were free to play with all your new toys and just hang out. For me it was GI Joe one year, out back behind our Silicon Valley Townhouse having a lengthy dirt clod ...

Peace on earth

A while back Dieselboi over at WalkingPortland started a Meme asking his friends to recall their "Top 5 Concerts" from their High School years. I'm not sure if it was because I was a dork, had strict parents, or just didn't give a f***, but I only attended 2 shows during those not-so-glory days. 1. Naked Eyes @ Skoochies, Seattle 1984ish - They had only two hits and are a definite "Where are they now?" band. Memorable for the fact that the ...

Back from holiday shopping and as predicted it was a major Clusterf**k! Here are the err "highlights" 1. Who plans the actual streets and traffic pattern/flow bullshit at these box store farms? The one's here in VT were quite literally farms that were built on without so much as thought as to how shoppers would navigate between them. Oh and there should be a minimum height requirement for drivers of Suburbans. That's right I mean you 5'0" not-so-milf that makes her own ...

Once again I have failed to complete my holiday err Christmas shopping in a timely manner. So I will drag my sorry ass into town (45 minutes away) in hopes of finding an elusive parking space and brave the elements and fellow losers for those last minute gifts. Ahh, the crowds of bitchy women, machismo laden Joeys, annoying sales people and useless gadgets that compete for my attention. God how I hate shopping. Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of ...

Untitled v1.0 / MerchMikey vs. John Salvie Lots (and I mean lots) of new colaborations are coming in '06. First up is the ongoing photoshop/illustrator tennis mash-up of John Salvie (Dallas, TX) and myself. Speaking of Lucha Libre, check out these fine threads

So yeah...things are finally starting to slow down a wee bit here, at TM, and now Mikey and I are in a panic to begin/finish our xmas shopping...whilst I was perusing the web for others,I found a few things that tickled my fancy... (hint hint, sweetie)...check it: for the toodies , for the mind, more for the mind when it gets distracted , for my little digits, for my girls...oh and less I appear too selfish...something for the good ...
