So the new Bloc Party album is out.
What you didn’t know about it?
Don’t feel bad, most people probably didn’t since they gave about 72hrs notice of it’s impending arrival. I totally appreciate the fact that a band is willing to release an album as soon as it’s done.
This is probably my fav [...]

For some reason on my bike ride this morning my iPod decided it was going to be one of those slightly chilled out days. I don’t know why, everything else leading up to today would suggest otherwise. Maybe it was my iPods way of saying chillax and hang out.

Birthday week in full effect, I decided one of my last acts as a twenty something will be to go see a rock show. So that’s what I did last night. After much contemplation over the idea, I decided to head out anyway. I had put in my 13 hours at the office (not an [...]

So unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the Apple event that is going on this week. Some of you may even be surprised to actually hear that it’s a week long event for developers and not just a 2 hour event where Steve Jobs showed off the new iPhone. [...]

You all are probably aware about how much I despise these fancy coffee drinking hipsters. People with their grande-two-pump-vanilla-no-foam-half-whip-half-light-caramel-chocolate-sprinkles-latte drinks. Honestly, if it takes you longer to order the fucking drink than to actually drink it you’ve fucked up on life and should just give up.
I’m a coffee drinker and sometimes an espresso [...]

I’m just a little bit pumped after seeing this movie! It rocked my face off it’s so awesome. Words can’t describe how fantastic this movie is. Jon Favreau has directed, what could possibly be, the greatest superhero movie evah. When (not if) you see this movie be sure to stay after the credits for a [...]

Not to be confused with South of Market in San Fran, Reston Town Center is getting it’s own SoMa area soon with a load of new restaurants and shops. After doing a little digging I’ve found a list of new places coming soon.

Funny how instead of waking up to birds chirping for a new day, I wake up to the rumble of airplane engines. No longer is it guessing if it’s that’s a gold finch or a boat tailed grackle singing you a song, now it’s guessing if that’s a Boeing 747 or an Airbus A340 on [...]

You know the part at the beginning when you introduce yourself and the person you are meeting with introduces themselves. Then this process of trading business cards happens. They drop a card on the table or hand you one but most of the time it’s a drop on the table and then a slide, then [...]

Jessi and I are heading to the Bahama’s for a few days and to celebrate someone’s b-day (Jessi’s for those not in the know, it’s on the 8th). Hope you all enjoy the rainy and cold weather here. Looks like we will be enjoying 85° weather and rain.

Something I’ve been working on for another project and until Google updates their official library here is my own version. There are few missing pieces but for the most part it’s all there. I’ll post updates to the code as I make them but for now if you are familiar with the way the current [...]

Indeed. Sometimes forget how much I enjoy his movies. May need to get a box set if there is one (blu-ray).

so Jessi and I started a new workout regime. This one is supposed to get us fit quicker which makes complete sense since I went from working out a total of 60 mins a week to about 480 mins (8 hours for you liberal arts people out there) a week. The point is to get [...]
