Yeah, that's me on the left. Quite appropriate that it's a 100x100 pixel image, because I could not - and will not attempt to - cover everything there is to know about me on this page. So in a sense, it's just a small window into my mind.

There will never be a whole lot of information about me specifically here. For one thing, I am a pretty private individual. I don't talk about politics at work or in a lot of polite conversation, and I almost never discuss religion. Politics today has degraded to a point where your-guy is the good guy, the other candidate is a no-talent assclown, and damn anyone who tries to argue differently; regardless of their stance on issues or history, etc, of course. I'm sick of spin. And I don't discuss religion because that's a pretty damn personal relationship between you and $DIETY.

Instead, you can learn a lot about me by observing what I consider important enough to put up here. Or rather, learn alot about how you interpret the importance of material I place on here, like a glorified ink-blot test.

Like I said. That is me on the left. I just shaved my head, so that is a little off. I am 25. I live in Austin, Texas. If money was not an issue, I would be driving an M3 CSL through the Alps 24/7. But since I can't, I do that whole programming thing, and pimp the Jetta when I can. That's all for now. If you want to know more about me, there is a contact form at the links on the top and bottom of the pages. Yay.

I have made the last few updates to the site while listening to Lee Burridge's entry in the Global Underground series (Nubreed 5). I consider the album to fall more into Ambient than the Trance or Progressive House Global Underground is know for. None of the tracks on there really stand out - and that's a good thing. This two CD set is a good choice for background noise while you work. Very mellow, but with a hint of trance to it, like Moby stepped up a notch or two. Good stuff.

(Yeah, I did a crappy job downsizing the image. Sue me.)


I also reccomend Dj Tiësto's SummerBreeze, currently my favorite trance album. Mien Gott, it's good. It has perhaps the best opening 10 minutes and closing 5 minutes of anything I have heard, with a mellow interior supported by crescendo interludes thanks to Tiësto's own Remix of Delerium's Silence and Aquila's No More Tears. Wow. I CANNOT stress this album enough.

Don't let the age of either of these great albums prevent you from checking them out.
