So tomorrow I will be running around a bunch and I’m not sure I will have much time to blog. For those of you that don’t know, I am heading to Portland to meet up with Phil to record and video his live album show. Well, I won’t be the one recording it, but I will be there during the recording of it… you get the idea.

I’m excited to be in Portland again. There is something magically artistic about that place and normally when I am there something cool happens. It’s also cool that it’s where Randy is, so we will be able to get some work done and actually be in the same room to do the work for once.

A couple random things from today. I officially made the switch from Safari to Firefox, and am not sure that I really like it yet. Everything seems so bubbly and annoying to me. And I swear it’s slower, but I could be making that up. What are you using?

Also Kristin and I are two episodes away from finishing the second season of LOST. Ana Lucia is dead and the show is now better because of it. Although it’s a bit creepy that Michael is all whacked out now. I think Season One kept my attention a little better but it’s still a great show.

I rode the scooter to my friend Michael’s house today. We did a rad video for his blog (that he never updates) but I think it’s not working or something. Everyone head to Michael’s blog and harass him about blogging and say hello for me.

So that’s it from this place. I will be around tomorrow but mostly on Twitter so check me out there. I am a little curious about how many people that read this blog are going to be at the show on Friday. I know a couple people have commented already about being there, so let’s hear it. Who’s watching online, and who’s going to be there?

**Quick update. I am currently editing this in Safari because Firefox was being lame. One more like that and we are in a fight.**

3416009.jpgI noticed last week that only two guys posted “Positive Posts“. I know for a fact that there are more than two males that are reading this blog. I wonder if it’s because we, as men, suck at encouraging each other. We need to compete and feel as manly as possible. Well, at the risk of looking (or feeling) gay, I am going to write about my friend Randy today for “Positive Post Tuesday“.

To keep a twenty-two year old story short, Randy and met when we were seven years old on a little league baseball field and grew up together. Throughout school we were known as the “different” ones, but both were okay with that. We were rarely separate unless forced by teachers, or parents grounding us. We graduated high school together, and have obviously remained in pretty regular contact since graduation. Randy went to college to learn things. I went to work and got married. Both the paths that we needed to take in life. And now it’s getting closer to the point where we will be working together more often.

Randy’s brain works different than most peoples. I still really haven’t figured it out, but it’s fun to watch. His spelling is atrocious, but he can figure out some of the trickiest computer program stuff I have ever heard of. And if he doesn’t know how to do it, he works hard at figuring it out.

Recently Randy has taken a huge role in helping me work with several bands and their online presence. I have had these ideas and complained about them on this blog numerous times and now with Randy’s help a lot of that is actually happening. Without him working his tail off at learning and developing this stuff, everything I am doing would just be ideas. He takes the ideas and then makes the buttons work. (And that’s a big deal when you are primarily working on the internet.) What Randy is able to do, allows me to do what I am doing, and that’s amazing to me. Without that, very little would be getting done.

So anyway, if you haven’t, make sure to go check out Randy’s Blog and take a peek into his brain. Once you can decipher the spelling codes it’s a pretty cool place.Now it’s your turn. I know there are plenty of people out there that have nice things to say about someone so let’s hear it. I want to hear from the guys too.
