Up too Late on a School Night

I didn’t get to bed the same day I got up yesterday, but it was for a good cause. Memorial services were held for The Acidman in Savannah yesterday afternoon. For all those that couldn’t be there in person, there was an online celebration of Rob’s life. I wound up chewing the cyber [...]

Whither Siderunners?

My second night of looking for the new Siderunners album have rendered exactly nada. Not on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, nor any link I’ve followed from their site.
Oh, well, I’ve spent months waiting on Transistr, too. Any bets on which I find first?

Horseturds the Size of Rubies

My crufty old shell scripts are turning into ruby-powered wonders; not as fast as I’d like, but steadily progressing. I always have to resist the urge to make the finished product look like I’ve been coding Ruby for years; I’m aiming for the same functionality as the scripts I currently use, with an eye [...]

Acidman’s Memorial Service

This is Dave, Rob’s brother. I just wanted to let somebody know that the arrangements have finally been made. If somebody has the ability to get the word out, [...]

I was a frequent reader, and sometimes commenter at Gut Rumbles. I didn’t always agree with him, and was sometimes grossed out by his posts. Through it all, he was genuine; what you read was what you got. Take [...]

A Frank Zappa Moment

While rearranging the storage area here at Casa tbbs, I got a little too close to an exposed 2×4 in the area under the stairs. Not too sure I didn’t scrape my back on a protruding nail head, left there as a poor man’s hanger.
In any event, the first thing that crossed my [...]

Siriusly Aiming

SWMBO and I took a test run at aiming the model SIR6 outside Sirius Radio Antenna this evening. We got a perfect signal, at exactly the place on the fence where she wanted the antenna placed. And yes, where she thought it should be placed is crucial.
So, between tomorrow’s forecasted thunderstorms, we should get [...]

Siderunners Sabbath

My patience has been rewarded. A visit to The Siderunners website reveals that their new CD, Sabbath Country Sabbath will be in stores on June 27. That’s next Tuesday. Hot Damn!
The album is described as a “live acoustic record”, which will be a change from the Ain’t Inventin’ the Wheel, which is [...]
