Tonight is officially the last show I ever play at Barley Island, and most likely the last time I give them any of my business.
I’ve been playing at Barley Island since I was 18 years old. I met my wife at Barley Island while playing music. I’ve lived within walking distance of the place for [...]
I’ve decided it’s time to reel in Afterblog, and make it a place that people may actually like to visit on a regular basis. This of course would mean regular updates. I tend to promise regular updates about every 6 months or so, and these promises tend to be perennially sandwiched between three or four [...]
There won’t be enough space on Glenn Beck’s bulletin board tonight.
I wonder if there is a cerebral defect around which the “patriotic” portion of his brain has pushed all other gray matter aside with red, white, and blue scar tissue. That part of his brain must be quivering right now as I write this. He [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about scope and scale, as in it’s possible to have large scale victories with limited scope, but it’s much more difficult to achieve anything of grand scope even on a small scale. Scope in this instance is determined at a personal level, while scale is a societal measure of [...]
I’ve been doing a ton of work on the site if you haven’t noticed. There’s new afterthoughts up, and they will be updated weekly. I figure it’s better to keep doing this stuff than to be depressed about not doing it.

I was watching my son earlier today during his “tummy time.” Katy and I lay him on his belly and he works on lifting himself and eventually rolling over. He’s a little over two months old now, so his muscles aren’t entirely working together yet, but he’s worked his way up to lifting his upper [...]
