I’ve discovered the secret behind why reality TV shows are so… popular. Curiosity. Oh yes, it’s that simple. People always want to know the hidden, secret stuff. Those ridiculous magazines you see when you’re buying groceries is another sample. “Brad and Jen reunion! Angelina shoots heroin!” It’s completely insane but we ALL want to know [...]

No, we can’t ALL get along. Sadly, that’s human nature.

There’s always some sort of unease in this business that I do. One of the realities and inevitabilities of leadership is the fact that you simply can’t please everyone. Despite how honest I am, and with all facts presented, there is no salvation for me in certain peoples’ eyes. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of [...]

What does it take to succeed? In anything? I pose this question to you in hopes that you can understand me better and better yourself. People want to succeed – they do. Inherently, of course. Doing whatever it takes to move forward is another story, and that – it seems – is where most fall [...]
Bullshit. It’s everywhere. Can you spot it?

I typed an entire blog and hit backspace and lost it. FUCK. Hey, Firefox (and all browsers while we’re making this a point), REMOVE BACKSPACE FROM YOUR SHORTCUT KEYS. That’s really annoying. Um, so yeah – the blog was about how to spot bullshitters and dismiss them from your business and your life in general. [...]
Internet Radio Whore.

You know, I’ve been considering putting together an internet radio show for Psychostick and Pluh.com for a while now. My idea would be when we’re off tour, every Monday night or so. When we’re ON tour, once a week when we have a day off from touring. Of course there are some complications with that [...]

I’ve been involved in web development for roughly 10 years now. I recall my very first venture into that crazy newfangled technology known as the internet and “web pages.” Angelfire! That was where I had my first website. Then I moved to Geocities, then… uhm, I think I got my own domain? Can’t remember much. [...]
Taking out the trash.

I’ve been home for a few weeks now from touring. I’m usually the busiest when we’re not touring due to all the stuff that piles up. Preparing for the next tour takes precedence, then comes new merch designs. We got our store back up, which is really good, but more options are needed. We’re also [...]

Wow, what a tour. I didn’t blog once at all on this crazy “Holy Crap We’re Touring” tour. Our wireless card just broke down, so… I dunno. Lots of things need fixing when I get back home. You can view various incidents with our trailer if you want to see how much crap we dealt [...]
Video is good. So good.

My buddy Murph and I talked for over an hour last night about videos. Not specifically for Psychostick, but we brewed a lot of ideas on how to promote the band using some hilarious video shorts. Obviously ideas have never been a problem (well, maybe not that obvious to you), but planning, organization, management, etc. [...]
Pluh.net – An opportunity I didn’t see.

With all this web dev going on one of my clients has to switch hosts because her current host won’t set her up with permissions she needs to upload images though a php script. Yeah, I don’t get it. So I offered to host her. Then I realized I’m not even using Pluh.net for anything [...]
