The year was 2005 and Coheed and Cambria released their most ambitious rock opera album about violence and a writer trying to understand his story that has grown bigger than himself. It is also the album that always comes to mind when talking about long album titles. If I had to pick one word to describe this album, I'd say it should be "Epic,"…
There is just something delicious about Scottish rock music. Maybe it's the way that Scottish singing (or more sing-talking in this case) really brings out the Scottish accent. It's especially nice when the lead singer has a deeper voice. I guess this band has been around since the mid-1990s and this is their first album in 16 years. It's classified as Indie Rock (whatever…
The fast food chicken sandwich wars rage on and I am what you might call the collateral damage. That anal-ogy makes no sense. Start over. Ok, McDonald's recently introduced their own chicken sandwich as direct competition for Popeyes' world famous chicken sandwich and the growing chicken sandwich marketplace. Never mind the fact that McDonald's already has plenty of chicken sandwich options in varying degrees…
I like coffee, but I like low acid and lots of flavor. I also don't like burning my tongue to get my caffeine fix. That's where the cold brew comes in. When the world went to crap and I got stuck in the forever loop Groundhog Day of working from home, I decided to start making my own cold brew. Turns out that it's…
Is it like putting a little splash of Coke in your coffee or a little splash of coffee in your Coke? How about giving me a damn splash of bourbon? AMIRITE? I like coffee, but I don't love Coke. The flavors are fine, but it's so much sugar and caffeine. The caffeine is good, because it keeps me awake, but the sugar is not…

I've been listening to this artist for awhile and I liked some of the earlier stuff. It's often been heavy electronic with distorted synths and noise. Sometimes it works well and leaves a lasting impression. Other times, not so well and makes you feel like you just wasted time. This time out, I'd say it didn't work out so well. I've only listened to…
Taco Bell has french fries! They have a coating of nacho cheese dust and a little cup of cheesy nacho dip. I like the taste of the fries, even though it's kind of a small amount. Can I get these McSuper-Sized? This is AMERICA! I won't be happy until I'm eating 3 extra pounds of food. I can live without the cheese sauce dip.…
A couple of days ago, I received an announcement from LastPass that they are changing their free tier password manager to only allow mobile devices OR computers, but not both... unless you pay... $36/year. But they are being generous and giving a discount, so the first year is only $27. I've used LastPass for awhile, because it makes dealing with passwords much more convenient.…
