This video is long. I’m sorry about that, but you should watch it. It happens to focus on classic music, but it really applies to every piece of media. Books, music, movies, etc.
Sit back and let your mind get blown by the genius of this man.

Anniversary
Yesterday marked 2 years of marriage for the wife and me. We spent the day running around Dallas, playing arcade games, and catching a movie (Tron. It’s pretty awesome.)
I’m pretty wiped out, so all I have to say is that I love you, Kristen. And here’s to many more awesome years together.
Try
(This post inspired by Reverb10.)
December 18 – Try What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn’t go for?
In 2011, I want to try to do a lot of things, most of them pretty small, but important steps to being a better person.
I want to try to be a more consistent blogger. I’ve been doing a pretty good job so far, but I want to get better. Produce ever-better content, make this place something people want to read.
I want to try to be a better husband. To be a little more empathetic. A little more helpful. It’s hard. And I know I’ve got a lot of room for improvement here.
I want to try to cut back on spending. To save more money so we can achieve our goals sooner.
I want to try to get back in school. To start a graduate degree. To pursue the dream of a life in academia.
This past year was not a year or trial and error. It was a year of survival. Of regrouping. Of positioning ourselves for a better future. It’s time to start pursuing that future.
Haiku
windswept, dirty hair
a gaggle of kids in tow
weary and threadbare
fluorescent lights shine
bringing everlasting day
fake sun, false light, lies.
a young smiling face
souring at the leaving
no toy horse today.
bells jingle nonstop
asking for any spare change
sir, donation please?
