New phone

Posted: 18th July 2010 by Ian in General

I bought the samsung vibrant on Thursday. This is my first android phone and I’m loving it so far. In fact I’m bogging from the phone right now. Technology is cool!

Lost

Posted: 13th June 2010 by Ian in General

I didn’t back up my databases and so I lost all the pictures previously posted and most of the posts from this year.  I may re-write and re-post the photos, but probably not. I blame it all on this:

Songs 10-1

Posted: 5th January 2010 by Ian in General

The final 10. These are the songs that stood out the most and left the most lasting impression on me. I hope you enjoy the songs as well, but I make no attempt to make them “popular” or “cool”. These are the songs that had the affect on MY life. So, as the Doctor would [...]

Songs 20-11

Posted: 4th January 2010 by Ian in General

20.  “New Slang” – The Shins In Garden State, Sam (Natalie Portman) hands her headphones to Andrew (Zach Braff) and says “You gotta hear this one song — it’ll change your life; I swear.”  She wasn’t lying. Listen 19.  “Glósóli” – Sigur Rós Whilst watching the music video is NOT a prerequisite, it certainly adds [...]

Songs 49 – 21

Posted: 4th January 2010 by Ian in General

49.  “Still Fighting It” – Ben Folds I first heard this song outside Jamie’s house after a party or something.  Jordan (formerly of OMJ and currently of The Gorgeous Hussies/Wailing O’Sheas) played it for us on his car radio.  I was hooked immediately and jumped on napster (or possibly limewire) to get the album as [...]

Top 100 Songs of the Decade: Songs 75-50

Posted: 1st January 2010 by Ian in General

75. “Everything Evil” – Coheed & Cambria Progressive rock at it’s finest. My friend Pud had been raving about this album for some time so I decided to purchase it from Smart Punk. Quite glad I did. The Coheed & Cambria albums tell the story of “The Armory Wars”, which is a pretty cool premise [...]

Top 100 Favourite Songs of the Decade 100-76

Posted: 1st January 2010 by Ian in General

I have been kicking around an idea for 100 songs for a while, but could never decide how to classify them.  Should I put them as the top 100 of all time?  Top 100 of the year?  Top 100 songs that get me through the day without hitting someone? It was too hard to narrow [...]

Since I got written up for this anyway…

Posted: 23rd December 2009 by Ian in General

So, I got written up for posting this at work. The person who actually did post it told the boss, but apparently that wasn’t good enough for them. So, I am posting it here so we can at least all read it and laugh. How to prepare for the zombiepocalypse

NYC part 2

Posted: 23rd July 2009 by Ian in General

This is the computer shop from Flight of the Conchords.  Brett and Jermaine’s apt is right above this, and the “owners” join Brett’s gang in one episode after their sign is graffitied. Jacob and I went by the Great Lawn at Central Park one of the days.  This is a few towards the east or [...]

NYC

Posted: 14th July 2009 by Ian in General

A few pics from my trip last week to NYC. Many, many, many thanks to my bro in law Jacob for ferrying me around and showing me the sites. Thanks man!  I made the photos smaller in the post, but you can click on them to see full size. This is was one of the [...]

*creative/witty post title*

Posted: 11th June 2009 by Ian in General

I haven’t bothered posted for a while, things have been busy. My dad has another gallery at Antelope Island right now, and was recently featured in a story in the Davis County Clipper.  You can read that here. Some music: Explosions in the Sky – Your Hand In Mine (Goodbye) (XO, I told you this [...]

Viva La Revolución

Posted: 13th April 2009 by Ian in General

There is an amazing dive restaurant that serves the best Chinese food I have ever had.  I had a 13 hour day today, so I wanted something filling.  I had mongolian beef. My fortune cookie had the most interesting fortune I have ever seen: “discontent is the first step in the progress of a man [...]

Festival of Colours

Posted: 30th March 2009 by Ian in General

Listen to this while reading this post: Kira Willey – Colors Saturday found me, Cory, Jules and Tye driving to Spanish Fork to celebrate Holi at the Krishna Temple. The Temple is quite a beautiful building, and a rather odd site. You drive through rural Utah County and then on a hill is this beautiful [...]

Best.Workday.Ever

Posted: 5th March 2009 by Ian in General

I bought kites. Yes, $1, Wal-Mart special Kites. And they are awesome. When your day is going crappy, all you need to do is walk out the back door, and let the kite into the wind. The rest of your break will be magical. Bryce took some photos of his kite actually flying. I focused [...]

Johan The Angel

Posted: 25th February 2009 by Ian in General

Johan the Angel is a great band name. Seriously, it is. I know the links are broken at the side. I jacked something up, sorry. I will fix it soon. Fixed. Enjoy this song: Johan The Angel – Hymn : O’er Frozen Caps
