Bacon Coleslaw: The Best Pitcher On The Planet

Don’t read this for a recap of how wonderful he was, go watch all the videos and keep watching theseĀ on repeat. What I want to talk about is how insanely good Kershaw was, not just for last night, not just for this year, not just this decade or era, but all time pitching performances… ever. Read this from Wikipedia: Game Score Game Score is a…

Quality From Start to Finish

There’s something to be said about owning a product’s vision and quality from the very inception to its launch. There are many stages of product development, particularly those that involve hardware, and one thing that seems to be a glaring oversight that has become a slight trend is the integration of hardware and software. In a nutshell of a nutshell you can simply think of…

KCAAYKM I: The Dopey Meeting Scheduler

Welcome to the first part in a potentially infinite series that I am calling: “Keep Calm And… Are You Kidding Me?”. Join me on a journey through some of the biggest gripes that exist within technology, the human race, or both. On any given day I have a decent amount of items on my work calendar between meetings, daily stand-ups, interviews, one-on-ones, and more. Viewing…

The Official Dodgers Workout

Baseball season is in full effect and I present to you a way to watch all the baseball you want guilt-free and at the same time get a very decent workout in that feels effortless. Here’s the problem: a typical baseball game is at least 3 hours long, and there are 162 regular season games played in the span of 182 days. Do the math…

Amazon Fire TV, huh?

Not much to report on this except for a few key points that I don’t see anyone mentioning: Amazon Fire TV has only 8gb of storage. This fact alone is going to prevent it from being any kind of serious console competitor. And for the “but it’s a streaming device first, Amazon’s not trying to be a serious console competitor!” response, I say, then why…

Calling it a Smartwatch Does Not Make it Smart

Google last week unveiled Android Wear. Along with this, Motorola teased their Moto 360 smartwatch. CES 2014 was filled with wearable tech, most notably a plethora of smartwatches. This landscape is all too eerily similar to “smartphones” circa 2006:     Now I’m not going to speculate that Apple has the magic answer for this mess of a landscape, but the feature set of these…

Opening Day Lineup 2014!

Staying up till 1am? Check. Opening day lineup posted? Check. Lineup analysis? Here we go… Let’s start with who’s in and who’s out. The biggest thing to look at here is that Justin Turner gets the nod at second base. But what does that mean? It means that Dee Gordon beat out Alex Guerrero for second base, at least in terms of getting the first…

Dodger Blue Please

There’s always been one thing that has bothered me as a Dodgers fan: the lack of Dodger blue. Don’t get me wrong, our home white jerseys are one of the most (if not the most) classic, recognizable, and overall good-looking jerseys dating back to 1938. But on the road, we put on a quite lame gray and the Dodger blue becomes darkened and the “Dodgers”…

The Depressing State of the Music Industry, or: How Artists Must Learn to Not Cover Songs Nor Give Them Away For Free

I received an email from Google in August of 2013 explaining how the status of the two cover albums I recorded around Christmas time in years past had been put on hold from distribution from Google’s Music service. I inquired as to why this happened and the following is the email exchange that ensued. August 23, 2013 from artist-support@google.com: Hello, Thanks for contacting artist support….

Barking Up The Wrong Tree

Music fans, RHCP fans, and even football fans were outraged that the half-time show of Super Bowl XLVIII featuring Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers had all instruments miming to a pre-recorded track with only vocals being performed live. There is an outcry of fans who are in disgust with RHCP over this “controversy”. The fact that a fan would place blame and…
