PMC 2013: Team Room for Mom

2013 will be my third year riding the Pan-Mass Challenge to raise money for cancer treatment and research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC is a 2-day bike-a-thon and the most successful athletic fundraiser in the country. Last year, through the generosity of over 70 sponsors, Kelly and I raised $6,120. If you like, you […]

The Giordano Viaggio: Building Your Budget Tandem

You want to try tandem road biking without spending $3,000 on a Santana or $4,000 on a Co-Motion. Not that those products aren’t worth it, but that’s a big chunk of change to try something you or your riding companion might not like. You’ve seen the Giordano Viaggio on Amazon for as little as $500 […]

Half a Decade

I hadn’t recorded in a very long time, so that’s partially where the title for this one comes from. The music also spans quite a long period of time (for house); about 7 years. I hope that, somewhere in the middle, you find yourself moved. And by the end, maybe you’re bobbing along to the […]

2012 Pan-Mass Challenge Recap

If you have not yet sponsored us and would like to, please click here. As the emotional high of 2012’s PMC journey gives way to cherished memories and renewed hope, my thoughts hang on the friendships I’ve gained or strengthened through this year’s PMC effort and the woman for whom I rode, Kelly’s mother Beth […]

For those not familiar with the PMC, it’s the most successful athletic fundraiser in the country, benefiting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through The Jimmy Fund. It accounts […]

Jay Peak Ride Review

Today my friend Ornoth and I cycled some 70 miles around Jay Peak, Vermont.  The route included both of Jay’s highest peaks: Big Jay and North Jay, and at our highest point, we were 2300ft above sea level.  With over 6100ft of climbing in total, and two Category 2 ascents, it was in some ways […]

Happy Birthday, Gramps

My grandfather turned 82 a couple of weeks ago. For his birthday, I took a stab at a continuous mix of music that he’d like. Half of the songs are known-favorites of my dear old Gramps, and the rest are ones that I really wanted to share with him. It was very enjoyable to mix […]

Quake2World, public alpha, January 2011

The other night, I was looking around at the Quake2World videos on YouTube, and I realized how horribly dated they all were, so I figured I’d make a new one. I actually recorded a much more interesting segment than what I was able to upload, but YouTube had a hard time processing it (3 times […]

Two quick mixes for your listening pleasure..

Lately, I’ve been beat-mixing again, prompted by a very irresponsible purchase made around Thanksgiving (see right). I can’t say that I didn’t miss doing this for the last few years.  I’ve also really taken a liking to Drum & Bass music, and have started to build an almost-respectable catalog of it as well.  It’s a little […]
