Okay, I’m really getting tired of reality shows. Even a foodie like me has a hard time watching the third season of Top Chef… and its here in Chicago. However, my wife and boys like American Idol, so I took a break from fragging demons in Hellgate: London and came downstairs to watch the finale […]

Samson by Regina Spektor

Between Itune store recommendations and Slacker.com’s similar artist lists, I have enjoyed discovering new artists. Regina Spektor is a new fav and “Samson” is one of those haunting songs of heartache that ends up in the closing moments of “CSI” or “New Amsterdam” (another new fav).

Transiberan Orchestra Rocks!

My oldest son and I went to see the Transiberan Orchestra at Allstate Arena here in Chicago last weekend and it rocked! We saw them last year when we were living in Toledo and it was just as good. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is one of my regular replays this time of year on […]

As I mention, despite my best intentions, life and my own stuff got in the way of following through with regular podcasts like I intended. I’m tired of making excuses and I’m sure you are tired of hearing them. But what is, is. Here I do a little journey down the postmodern language road via […]

Finally, after starting the move and the new job in Chicago, here is a new Wired Jesus Podcast. Its my reflections on Easter and two of the more intriguing videos I’ve seen lately – You’re Beautiful by James Blunt and Bad Day by Matthew Powter. Between the two, I see a connection with Easter and […]

Since Brian and Jen were having so much fun with the blog entry and our local paper asked me to weigh in on the issue of Christmas Day being cancelled, I decided to end the year with this podcast. Got some choice comedy bits in (one by Steve Martin has some low key adult subject […]
