Beverly Tides
I've been more inspired lately, and this surge of inspiration has led to the creation of music. I think everything I create with Secret Children has a hint of sadness, whether it is tongue in cheek or aggressive. I guess that's what the music needs to be for me right now.
Anyway, as I've been working on the new stuff in the mornings and late at night, I've started taking photos to be used in conjunction with the music, somehow. Here's one photo.More to come. I'm taking it day by day, and I know Cam is doing the same thing. We'll see where it ends up. The good thing is that it is flowing out now. -

Song of the Year, 2010
Cee-lo Green has created the catchiest, most amazing song I've heard this year. Take a listen and you'll understand why:

Boning Up or Something
I've been an internet marketer for a long time, and as extensive as my resume is, lately, I've been thinking it'd be good to show my in-depth experience with certifications. I've decided to start with the Google Adwords certification. A few people at work have been taking it, and seem to be doing well. It's something I've wanted to do for a while, and I feel like now is the time to make the most of that kind of thing, so I'm going to start training (yes, training. the test is crazy) for it on Monday.

Fighting Sleep
As I sit here in the living room typing this, I can hear my son wailing because he doesn’t want to sleep. For the last few weeks, he’s been sleeping more during the day and like not at all from 8:30 to midnight. We’re sort of figuring him out as he figures us out. Every day has been pretty amazing, though. He’s well worth all the long nights and diaper changes. Now he’s getting to the point that he interacts with us – smiles and coos and watches us move around the room. I’m looking forward to watching him grow and learn and get more of his own personality.

5K Days
Shanna and Finn did the girls just want to run 5k run yesterday. Finn did the stroll, but finished in about an hour :p .
We’ re starting to get him used to being outside and active. He’s certainly taking to it well. Photos coming soon.

Need a logo
I’ve been working on this blog for such a long time. It’s time to start working on a logo. I probably need to remove the current thing and try something new. I guess I’ll be trying my hand at logo design in the near future.

Song of the Day 6/23/10 – Tonight, Tonight Cover
Passion Pit covers Smashing Pumpkins’ Tonight Tonight. Pretty minimalist version, but it sounds great. Take a listen here: http://www.spin.com/articles/listen-passion-pit-cover-smashing-pumpkins

Phonosynthesis
It’s been a bit of a break since the baby was born. I’ve been taking care of the boy and his momma, and working too much. Between all of that, I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about DAWs (digital audio workstations), digital synths, and recording music through the computer in general. I picked up an MBox Mini 2 and ProTools, and it’s been a bit of a trip to learn, but I’m digging it so far. Being able to plug in the guitar and easily record or working up a beat through the drum machine is pretty awesome. I’m just working on pulling it all together.I feel like maybe there’s only so far I can go as one person with this music. It’ll be interesting to work with other people on some of this stuff after I finish a few demos.
