George Carlin Is Dead, Long Live Intelligent Comedy

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

George Carlin died today, that really sucks.
I don’t want to scare anybody, but I think my outlook and perspective on life has been shaped and influenced more by comedians like George Carlin, Chris Rock, Bill Hicks, and Doug Stanhope than from anything else.

“And now for something completely different…”
I’m a musician and songwriter in addition to running Internet businesses, going way back… I paid my way through college in Santa Barbara playing in bars/nightclubs on the weekends, and I made a living playing music full-time for many years.

Nope. People are driving about their business as usual, they’re just getting gas yesterday or tomorrow. In other words, when [...]

Becoming More Dependent On Internet

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

I just got back from a vacation trip, and my hotel’s wireless Internet router was broken - So I essentially had no Internet access for several days. Blech.
From a business standpoint it didn’t really matter, I’m no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of my business, but it’s a strong reminder of the growing [...]
