Aight so i ain’t hatin’, but daaaaag — the parents may have second thoughts 15 years from now. that’s always the danger in using a “novel” name. wifey & i have talked about this a bit, on the naming tip (we got one on the way, i thought yall knew! :) — we’re trying to stay away from the “pop” name at the time, or something that’s not a classic. i’m trying to approach it like my hip hop production.

i give props though for the acknowledgement that dude’s a king ;)

Man, i was listening to a demo that had one of the illest samples in it, and i’m killing myself over trying to find out what the original was–so i started thinking “lots of smart people out there–there *has* to be someone who has dreamt up a search by hum interface”. Or even on a more basic(?) level, something where there’s a little keyboard interface on the website that you can ding out a few notes, edit them until they’re about how you want them, and then submit.

The following may end up being good reading.

I’ve heard bantered about the thought that goes something like “it’s the height of arrogance to think that there is a God that only cares about humans above all other life”. I think that’s such a misinformed statement. In reading yesterday’s reading of The Purpose Driven Life, the author makes a great statement:

In the entire universe, only two of God’s creations fail to bring glory to him: fallen angels (demons) and us (people)…

That’s the Bible’s take on the matter. I’d have to surmise that while on the one hand, we’re made just a “little lower than the angels“, we’re pretty much on the low end when it comes to actually doing what God wants us to do. I’m factoring arrogance out of the equation of why one would choose to believe in Yahweh.

i own several domain names, and have owned several domain names for several years, trying to keep the sites together. the church here has been doing this “40 days of purpose” joint. I’ll admit that reading the first two chapters, i was hating inside–the book is written hella simple, and as such i wasn’t sure if i’d be able to continue to read it…as it goes on though, i’m glad i said to myself ima keep giving it a chance, and yep, i need to hear even the most “basic” of stuff.

at any rate, i’m working on simplifying the online thing, and in the process of consolidating ran across the above picture. that’s a mirror my wife had (before she was my wife–the first night we met actually, was when these pics were taken, in Orange County)….and we took a couple of pics ‘cos it was an instaportrait machine!

the end.

I just set this up a few minutes ago, but Audioscrobber claims to help make recommendations based on your listening choices.

I wish it good luck working with my selections–although I hope to be pleasantly surprised by how much “hard to find” music it identifies in kind with others who have the same.

i’ll be playing some music at Seattle Pacific U tonight. feel free to stop by, although i don’t know where it will be. it’s for some kind of welcome students thing. i haven’t dj’d out in a few months, actually, so i’m really looking forward to this, and to being able to DJ in the seattle area period.

Wifey was expressing displeasure with remote controls, stating that with “these fancy remote controls, there should be something where it would make a sound so you can locate them”.

There has to be a television (or televisions) that have a “page” feature like a telephone. Seems as if it would be extremely easy to implement a page feature, to locate often lost television remote controls.

that one’s for free.

I’ve given away several gmail invitations; they keep giving me more. if you’re one of the billion or so people who haven’t already gotten one, hit me up and i’ll hit you up.

why don’t you be like Alpha Beta, and tell a friend.

I wonder if anyone else has offered hip hop in this manner?
