OK Go – This Too Shall Pass Comment
Those wacky guys on treadmills are at it again. This time… well… just watch:
Beyond the great videos, I played their last CD constantly. They make fun and catchy power pop. The kind of music that knocks the hipster hat clean off your head. Should have picked up the new album the other day – won’t [...]
Enter year… uh… eight? Comment
Amidst all of the baby raising and whatnot of last year I completely missed the 6th “blogiversary”. And since I already broke one annual tradition, might as well say goodbye to another one and mark the occasion on the correct date. Well, the chosen date.
Believe it or not, this site has now been going for [...]
St. Vincent… swoon Comment
I do not hide my various indie crushes, but one in particular is worn on my sleeve. The delightful Annie Clark, better known by her stage name of St. Vincent, ignites feelings in most hipster hearts – and I am no different. Here is her complete performance from KCRW’s indispensable Morning Becomes Eclectic.
Be still my [...]
Why does Heroes suck? 4 Comments
If you follow my ramblings outside this here blog you may already realize that I made the big mistake of catching up with Heroes. Yeah, yeah, I realize you all stopped watching by the end of the second season – good for you. Me? I needed real confirmation that the writers never got their heads [...]
I love my 50mm 4 Comments
I have been rather inactive in my pursuit of photography of late. Sometimes you just gotta switch lenses to see the world a little differently and get some inspiration. Other times you just need to step back a bit and gain some new perspective. My personal favorite lens (Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM) has a [...]
I’ll miss this when it’s done 1 Comment

A typical conversation 1 Comment
Kayleigh: Daddy!
Me: Kayleigh!
Kayleigh (holding up blue crayon): Whatcha got there?
Me: Whatcha got there?
Kayleigh: A crayon. What color is it?
Me: What color is it?
Kayleigh: Blue!
And repeat…
Hipster feel sad and lonely 2 Comments
When I’m feeling down and out and have no one to relate to my hipster ways, there is a new Tumblr out there to pick me up: Unhappy Hipster. There is genius and humor involved. My personal favorites so far include the plywood coffin, the bleak backyard, and the Escher/Van Allsburg room. Enjoy.
I am gonna make it through this year… Comment
So, how’s your year going? I know mine could be better. The shame is, for the crap storm that December turned out to be, 2009 actually ended on a pretty solid note. That has a lot to do with a 2 week holiday which gave me some much needed bonding time with a particular little [...]
