Hang in there.

If you see this it means you’re looking at the new (and hopefully improved) The Other Drummer. The URL is still propogating across the interwebs and I haven’t been able to import all my posts yet. UPDATE: Posts have been imported successfully.

Sadly, I can’t access the new URL from my house yet (I’m posting this from my phone) so I’m sitting around waiting for he propogation to finish so I can wrap up importing and start customizing it a bit.

So congratulations on getting here first. You’re awesome.

Great Coke ad

Coke has not only some good ads, but the music they use is also excellent. It’s an element that’s overlooked all too often in advertising. Heck, if they turned this into a full-length song I’d buy it on iTunes. There have been a few other tracks to Coke commercials I’ve liked just as well, but haven’t been able to find them yet. I’ll post them if I do.

Can you think of ads you’ve seen with great soundtracks? Leave word in the comments.

Digg down


Digg.com has been like this for at least eight hours now.

Did it crash? Did someone take it down? Or are Kevin and his gang working furiously behind the scenes to unleash some new feature? Has anybody heard anything? Leave word in the comments.

Update: it’s back up. According to their blog they were working on back end stuff and a new comments system.

Life consumed

As many of you know, life has a new member and all time and energies have been suddenly focused on our new addition. Not wanting to turn this into a sappy, “I’m such a proud dad” blog, I’ve refrained from writing much here about life with Jake. (I keep such gushings and cooings in my personal journal.)

And so, it would seem, I don’t have much to write about at the moment.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I’ve had a short correspondence with reviewme.com. They’ve offered to put me on their roll to review products, services, websites, etc.. Any initial thoughts about that idea?

My first Father's Day

My Father’s Day card:



My wife absolutely cracks me up. She made my first Father’s Day a great one, despite working a lot harder at being a mom than I do at being a dad.

I placed my order and my 2 gigs of Macbook RAM should arrive sometime this week.
