Perusing okayplayer.com yesterday, I ran into an awesome music video from a dude named Fresh Daily. More research on him revealed that I have been missing out. Dude is seriously dope; plus I love the throwback style he’s rockin’. Check out the video and get the free download for “Thanx,” his song dedicated to his [...]
Earlier this week my friend, the great slam poet Matt Blesse, e-mailed me a youtube link to a Native Guns song and asked “don’t you have a beat with this sample?” Why yes, I believe I do. This week’s beat goes back to that three-month period where I had a blue MPC 1000. It was [...]
Big Boi’s new Album “Sir Lucious Left Foot…The Son Of Chico Dusty” has been rattling around in my head, wait, slamming in my head since I picked it up a week ago. If you haven’t given it a listen, screw it, just put down your cash for it blindly. I promise it’s that good.

The bike path I take to work goes along the train tracks and at dusk, there’s usually a good view of the Bishop and Madonna peaks. Also, there’s a big red pedestrian overpass that crosses the tracks. Check out these [...]
My car hasn’t started in two weeks, which isn’t a bad thing actually. I’ve been forced to ride my bike everywhere, even to the grocery store. On my way back from one such trip today I caught a sign that promised wine tasting and a car show. I hit up some friends, only two of [...]
On my recent trip home for the fourth of July I took in a home brew contest in downtown Reno with friends. It was a good opportunity to test out the video and photo capabilities of my new iPhone 4 and I’m not disappointed with how it performed.
It had been seven months since I last saw my family. So, for the fourth of July I took a road trip with my roommates back up to Truckee to spend a quiet weekend playing with my nephew and relaxing with my other relatives.
