This past weekend was spent in the beautiful Castle Crags of Northern California. The hike was a treacherous incline which lasted only 2.7 miles but left me wheezing by time I planted my feet on the top of the rock formation. The view was absolutely stunning though. Hopefully we can make another trip up to the half dome when the snow melts and find that secret swimming hole the local was talking about.

Hand Painted Signs: A True Artform
Anyone who has any appreciation for design must never overlook the artistry and craftmanship behind hand painted signs. A lot of the digital typefaces that we use today trace their roots back to these writings on the wall. Unfortunately, it seems to be a dying artform so I want to document, or atleast take the time to notice them, as much as I can. Continue Reading →
New York Recap
Needless to say, New York was amazing. The weather wasn’t so much of a problem until we touched back down in Sacramento, where the weather was at a cool 75 degrees!

Ear Candy: Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom
I’ve been knee deep into the archives over at ASIFA this afternoon, and stumbled upon this great piece of animation from Disney’s Golden Years. It’s called Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom from 1953. It’s a wonderful short about all the different musical instruments and the sounds they make. Entertaining and educational folks!
Pray for Japan
Taking a queue from my man Sokai Ok Yoon on this one. Some things in life are best described without words.
Don’t Turn the Lights On

Ear Candy: Adam Strange, New Americana (Pop Culture Vol.2)
I’ll be honest. This is the first compact disc I’ve bought in a very long time. But Granola Funk hits straight to the heart for me, puts me in the right frame of mind. And best believe Strange did it again!!!
Chromeo @ The Fox Theatre 2/18
In anticipation for the show this Friday in Oakland, I put together this little piece. It’s so cool to know that not only do they make great music, but their backgrounds completely go against the “status quo”. Ah man, I can’t wait! Continue Reading →
