Why music really is getting louder
Why music really is getting louder-Arts & Entertainment-Music-TimesOnline For a serious music lover like me, this has been an issue for several years now. How loud and distorted became synonymous with sounding better is beyond me. Maybe I’m an audio snob, but I like to hear all the dynamic range. I like all the small…

A Day to Remember
June 6, 1944 It was a long time ago, but it is a day no one should ever forget. Several thousand men and women died on that first day, and many more would follow on the road to Berlin. Personally, I’ve always been fascinated by history, but this particular period has always been the most…

I don’t know how much software or technology they work with, but those have to be some of the coolest offices I’ve ever seem. It’s like working in your college apartment, but with an actual budget for toys.…

Really Bad Customer Service
Long ago in another life I was a Mac user (at least at home). I also became a loyal Quicken user. This was back in 1991 or 1992. Along the way, I bit the bullet and replaced my home Mac with a PC (grudgingly). Now, I’m back to a Mac at home and loving it.…

Welcoming Declan to the world
My son, Declan, was born March 31, 2007. Declan is my wife and I’s third child. The twins, Cameron and Zoe, are very excited. We are all a little sleep deprived, but that is to be expected. The great thing about is that this time nothing will bother me. I remember leaving the hospital with…
