Road Trip to New Jersey!

Friday, January 29, 2010 12:50 No Comments

Although I’m a huge music nerd, I never have been one to flock to the mega-super-massive type concert/festivals featuring every band to ever produce a myspace album (Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, etc.). Too crowded, too many bands I don’t care about, too wild. Today while I was browsing MC Chris’ tour schedule I realized the only [...]

Video Games Live

Friday, October 16, 2009 10:27 1 Comment

On Fridays I get out of Latin at 9:18 and head for Hughes Hall so I can wait in the classroom for classical music to start at 10:30. Usually I’ll play the piano, surf the internet a little, and listen to my iPod until class starts at 10:30. Today I just hung out on my [...]

Daft Punk in DJ Hero is Gettin’ me all ‘Cited

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:42 4 Comments

Because Nicole and I are going to podcast tomorrow and I don’t have anything terribly interesting to say, I thought I’d let you all know that Daft Punk will be in the forthcoming DJ Hero.  Initially I wasn’t overly excited for this game, but their presence has certainly piqued my interest and the thought of [...]

Thoughts on The Beatles: Rock Band

Friday, September 18, 2009 11:39 1 Comment

So while Nicole and I were at Myrtle Beach The Beatles: Rock Band made its debut without us.  Nicole was positively rabid about playing it and I had high hopes for the game after reading interviews and updates for months about all of the care that had gone into preserving it as a grand entry [...]

The New Zune HD

Tuesday, September 15, 2009 11:53 2 Comments

The new Zune HD was officially released today with a slew of powerful new features. Is it too much like the iPod touch and iPhone? Maybe a bit, but Microsoft competes fairly well with their new toy. I’ll summarize a few points…

Panic! at the Disco’s Newest Single

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 9:29 No Comments

Today Panic! at the Disco (yes, I used the exclamation point because apparently it is back in their name) released their newest single, “New Perspective.” Although it’s on the soundtrack for a dumb movie (see Jennifer’s Body), I’m totally digging this song. If you liked Pretty.Odd. you’re in for a 360, but then again [...]

Michael Jackson’s Game Collection

Monday, July 13, 2009 23:52 3 Comments

So I’d never seen this before, but apparently the King of Pop was a colossal geek with a nerdgasm-worthy collection of arcade machines and other geek awesomeness.  At one point nearly 2 million dollars worth of his arcade games and other memorabilia was to be auctioned off and someone made a flash panoramic view of [...]

My Love/Hate Relationship With Digital Distribution

Tuesday, July 7, 2009 8:21 3 Comments

I was sitting here the other day playing Peggle when I realized what a wonderful game it is.  However, amidst my blowing away tiny orange pellets and giggling like a schoolgirl whenever I see a unicorn in the game, I came to the realization that it’s the first game in a while I’ve played that [...]

Keeping it Synced Part 3: Simplify Media

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 10:14 No Comments

Previously I’d talked a little about how to keep your notes synchronized with Evernote and also how to keep files updated across multiple computers using Dropbox.  While I might do more parts in this series later on, today I’m just going to write a bit about Simpilify Media, and why if you float around to [...]

Free Music Streaming Sites do exist! Just try Grooveshark!

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 2:11 No Comments

Up until about a month ago, to listen to music I was interested in I’d either 1.) buy it legally from Best Buy, FYE, Target, etc. 2.) persuade Josh to bit torrent it for me on his Mac 3.) YouTube it and watch some goofy homemade video to go along with it or 4.) give [...]
