Every now and then I take a trip through the comments on your blogs and follow a link back to a person I've never read before just to see who they are and what kind of blog they have. Sometimes I stumble on someone that I think I might want to read again, and sometimes I just move on. It's an inexact science but certainly one way to grow your list of friends.
But now I'd like to try something different. Kind of a social network suggestion kind of thing if you will. What I'd like you to do is... Read Full Story
It was subtle, almost imperceptible - yet I knew something was there. Almost like the way the light from a faint star disappears when you look directly at it, yet you can see it in your peripheral vision when you look away.
But every time I opened up the kitchen pantry door, there it was... a slight whiff of something. Eh... must be some odd mix of spices and dry goods I told myself.
But then this morning I decided to investigate further. I started at the top. Sniff, sniff. Nothing th... Read Full Story
My recent interview with Diesel was so much fun that I decided I wanted to do more interviews. Unfortunately, I didn't actually ask anyone else if they wanted to be interviewed - so that makes it a little tough.
Then I remembered this post from 2 years ago where I simply interviewed myself, and how huge of a hit that was. Problem solved!
So here I am again, chatting with myself. Enjoy.

Sup.
Not much, sup with you?

You ever see those puzzles where they show you two pictures side by side and you have to try to figure out what is different about them?
Well I've got a good one for you. Here are two different photos of Austin, virtually indistinguishable in every way. But I've added some subtle differences to fool you. See if you can spot them.
I know... this is a tough one. It's like you're looking at the same picture twice. Well, let me help you out.
What's Different?
1. The hat
2. The extra shirt
3. ... Read Full Story
Hmm.... I'm a little confused by this solicitation spam I received in the mail yesterday.
First of all, why did they circle the $100 box? I understand how subliminal suggestions are supposed to work, but did they really think this was going to sway me to donate $100? Where's the 25¢ box? I think I might be able to get behind that one.
Then, in an attempt to woo me into donating, they included this shiny metal angel medallion. Granted, I did become a fan here, but please remind me again...... Read Full Story
As many of you know, my friend Rob (Diesel) Kroese (pronounced KROO-see for some unknown reason) recently published his first novel, Mercury Falls.
Mercury Falls is an extremely clever and surprisingly deep book about how the Apocalypse is supposed to unfold, and the characters who are unfolding it. What's not surprising is why it's clever and deep.
I've been following Diesel as a blogger for several years and find him to be one of the wittiest, smartest and most snarkastic humorists in th... Read Full Story

...continued from On The Road - The Journey
A funny thing has been happening over the last few months. Gravity has been starting to form around a 30 year-old event.
In April I published the first chapter of my On The Road series, which highlight my early years on the road as a young musician boy-man.
In chapter one, I described how I was summoned on the phone at 7 a.m. by a gruff old man named Gabe Garland, who coaxed me into driving out to Pennsylvania to join one of his magic road ... Read Full Story
