Bass collection, part one.
I had some spare time this morning and a few people had reached out to me about my bass collection, so enter my 2013 Nexus 7 and YouTube, et voila!

Music I’m listening to
It ain’t always what it’s supposed to be.
Lately I’ve found that I really miss playing music regularly. When I first joined Red Hat in 2008, the plan was for me to move up to New England so I could join most of my coworkers in the Westford office. As a result, I gracefully exited the musical projects …
What I’ve been missing.
There hasn’t been a lot of music in my life lately, other than listening. Work has been very demanding lately, and between that and traveling to do fun things with the family, not much time has been left over for playing. Today I have a day of glorious playing ahead, …
Live from Fedora Moonbase Alpha, part 3.
Quite a while ago, I wrote about the dead-simple process for setting up a microphone with Fedora’s PulseAudio sound system. That was part 2 in a series that was meant to discuss creating a better podcast. At the time, I meant to follow up with a piece on how to …
Banishing frowns.
I know I’ve talked about Clare & the Reasons here before, but this is so worth seeing, if only to get rid of your personal bad case of the Mondays (evil Flash required, sorry):

Slipping behind.
The only problem with putting your head down and your back against the stone is that sometimes you almost miss out on the scenery. Dear Trent, I’m guessing you made out pretty well on that whole Ghosts I-IV thing. Thanks for putting the bastards in their place with another CC-licensed …
Paul and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Bumpy ride. To continue today’s epic streak of bad luck: My softphone gave out on me right before I was supposed to speak on an agenda item at a meeting this afternoon. My landline was in use by the wife, and when she got off, the conference system wouldn’t let …
The sleep of the innocent and just.
I opened Transmission last night before I went to bed, downloading a torrent of free music. And I didn’t for one second feel guilty, because it was Nine Inch Nails’ new CC-licensed album. I was thrilled because instrumental stuff has become my MO for background noise while I work. This …
Making ends meet.
I’m going to start this post with a plug, but it’s worthy, I swear. Since some good friends of mine are watching our kids next weekend while my wife and I escape travel up to Massachusetts and New Hampshire to house hunt, I thought it’s only fair to plug a …
