Steve Martin, Edie Brickell and the Steep Canyon Rangers
To kick off November’s digging out, here’s the concert I attended on my birthday celebrate turning 46. One of my favorite comedians as a child performing banjo-driven music because he can without worrying about paying his mortgage. Steve’s quite good too. … Continue reading
RIP: Tom Magliozzi
Car Talk was one of the weirdest shows on NPR. Personally, I thought it was incredibly stupid when I first caught wind of it as I was gradually becoming a stronger fan of public radio in the Nineties. The program … Continue reading
What “French” cats think of Halloween
Our cats would agree, especially when it comes to wearing costumes.
Welcome to a belated November
We’re off to the home stretch of 2014 because in America, the Holiday Season gets kicked off with Halloween followed by Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Interspersed in between are the other so-called good movies. The Summer sucked, I’m hoping the … Continue reading

Italian #30: Shi Yan Fan (Franco Testini)
Update: Writing about all these famous Italians is such an educational experience for me and I’m pretty stoked to share my findings with you all. Please post requests if you have any. I was going to enlist José’s assistance on the … Continue reading
Austin violators, you’ve been warned
These are well-deserved tickets to be issued around my adopted home, especially wherever the Technorati gather (Hipsters usually ride bikes if I have my stereotypes right). I love the Website but it has been rather quiet for the last three … Continue reading
Lego User Group creation for Halloween ’14
Certainly better than that boring movie Monster House. I can’t recall if I finished watching it or did I fall asleep.
RIP: Jack Bruce
This bassist/singer was a key part of my Classic Rock education via KLOL from 1982-4. Until I had moved to Houston, I never heard of Cream. Eric Clapton certainly, through his solo stuff in the Seventies. I never knew Slowhand … Continue reading
