Yeah, it’s old news by now (hey! The site was down to protest SOPA/PIPA yesterday), but the Rangers reached an agreement with Yu Darvish. Look out, American League. The reigning champs just got a bit tougher. Which is good, since it’s not like the hated Angels have been quiet this offseason.

Going Dark To Protest PIPA/SOPA Shortly
January 17, 2012 – 11:59 pm
Howdy. Yongi.org is going dark shortly to protest the proposed SOPA/PIPA legislation. If you don’t know what the heck this is all about about, watch this video from Fight For The Future that explains PIPA quite well. There’s lots more information at Wikipedia, too. Or just enjoy this Downfall redub which is actually quite educational. [...]
Insulation!

Here’s the latest “renovation tip” video from my employer, Watermark & Company. That ought to keep you warm over the holidays. Get it? Insulation? Warm? Ha! I kill me!
Christmas Lights Ahoy!
December 18, 2011 – 5:29 pm
I finally got off my butt and put up the crimmis lights. Now it’s time to crack a beer, sit back and watch ‘em blink, and listen to a classic…
And we’re back…

I seem to have recovered the site from the some WordPress hacking it fell victim to. Now let’s see if I actually start writing again…

boingboing is having a contest to design “a mind-numbingly tedious magazine.” You should enter, too. Because it’s fun. Here’s my offering:
Interrupting All Alphabets
April 23, 2011 – 11:44 am
I was doing so well with the Alphabet Blog Challenge thing, wasn’t I? And then my blissful (yeah, right) unemployment was interrupted with a new job. At a startup. Which means I’ve been working instead of blogging. I still intend to finish the challenge, it just won’t be done before the end of April. In [...]
L Is For the lloyd-tones
April 14, 2011 – 3:14 pm
After quite a number of years of playing bass in a rock & roll band in Austin, I quit making music for a while. The last breakup of the band (there were many along the way – we burned through guitarists the way Spinal Tap burned through drummers) was rough. Very rough. Divoice-like in its [...]
K Is For Kerouac
April 13, 2011 – 4:00 pm
Jack Kerouac was one of my favorite authors for years. Technically, he still is. But at my age its hard to keep romanticizing a guy who had as many problem and as much baggage as Kerouac did. I don’t think I’ve actually read any Kerouac in a good 15 years, and that’s probably a shame [...]
J Is For Jetking
April 12, 2011 – 11:26 am
I’m in love with a guitar*. It’s the guitar that seems to have been built just for me. I’m talking about the Ibanez Jetking II (first run only). At the time it was launched (2003-2004) I was getting back in to making music for the first time in a good five or six years, and [...]
