I started Netflixing the show “Freeks and Geeks“. There is a scene in the first episode that when I saw it I just went “whoa”. It’s the scene when the character Nick Andopolis, shows his drum set off to Lindsay Weir for the first time. It reminds me so much of myself in high school. I just had to share it. It’s totally awesome!

Stack The Memory
This is so awesome! I stumbled on it in my RSS reader.
From what I can tell this was a video made for Seagate. You can check out stackthememory.com and download the MP3.
President Forever
Because election day is upon us and it has been imposable to avoid the topic, I have decided to post the following song “President Forever” from Local H. I find it somewhat fitting.
I’m president forever
I’m head of state and here to stay
The officer elect all of your life
I’m the leader till the end of your days
I’m president forever
Accountable to no one no more
Daddy look at me, I’m a big boy now
A brat to the manor born
Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a sling shot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the french Their fuckin’ statue back
I want to take it all
I’m president forever
America, you found your man
If we can all agree on this one thing
You know you’ll never have to vote again
I’m president forever
I finally get to do it my way
I wanna take a ride in Airforce One now
Laugh in the face of the national debt
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin’ french
Dad, i’ll make you proud
I’m president forever
Piss up and down the walls of the Oval Office
Pal around with the boys in the Secret Service
Calling my connection for a party at Camp David
the first lady’s not invited
the first lady’s not invited
I’m president forever
I’m president forever
Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a slingshot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the french their fuckin’ statue back
I wanna take it all
Laugh in the face of the national debt (take it all, take it all)
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent (take it all, take it all)
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin’ french (take it all, take it all)
Dad, i’ll make you proud (take it all, take it all)
I’m president forever ”
Converting TheHCorner.com to WordPress
In my spare time I run a fan site called The H Corner for the Chicago Illinois based band “Local H“. Not to long ago I got the itch to upgrade the site from it’s static HTML pages to use WordPress as it’s back end.
Until recently I used to maintain all of The H Corner’s updates and maintenance with the text editor, Textmate. I personally enjoy building websites with a text editor. I fell like I have a higher level of control when building the a website like that. However maintaining a website (especially one like The H Corner that should be updated frequently with new content) with a text editor I learned is not the best idea ever unless it is your only job in life.
Installing wordpress was easy using the wordpress.org install guide. It gave me step by step instructions to setup a SQL database and get everything running. Less then a year ago I switched my personal website to wordpress and have not looked back. I have been very happy with it’s performance.
Once I got wordpress setup and running I started with the task of importing all the content of the old site to the new one.
The whole process took less then a week. The hardest part might have been creating a theme that resembled more of the old h corner website. Themes are how you can quickly and easily change the look and feel of your website. You can find tons of themes on line with a simple Google search.
Check out the new H Corner at thehcorner.com and let me know what you think.
Vacation – Part 2 of 2
On Wednesday, June 11th, Hannah and I went to see (the best band in the universe) Local H play in Seattle at the Chop Suey Club. We met up with our friends Abe, Kenny, Eric, Lyle, Dustin, Jason, and Doug.
We all shared a couple of pizzas before the show across the street from the venue. I realized I forgot my cammera and was kicking myself about it. Luckly for me, Lyle and Jason had their iPhones handy and they both did a great job snapping photos.
