The latest blues

By the way, we moved to Oregon.

April 26, 2018 By Finn Leave a Comment

Hey, y’all, We hope y’all had a great 2017. It was weird not being at home for any of the Christmas holiday. Something felt a touch out of place. But, we kept moving and made sure to enjoy who was around – and go to a coffee shop that made change with $2 bills before […]

Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul

September 6, 2017 By Finn Leave a Comment

Quite true, but the last album he records before his death is a duet album, “King & Queen,” with Carla Thomas. The rest are songs cobbled together after his death. Trust me, I wish there was more to write, review, and most importantly, hear. Otis’ life gives testament to the idea that you should do […]

Digital Marketing and Creative Writing on the same site? “That’s like hypnotizing chickens.”

July 30, 2016 By Finn Leave a Comment

There are seldom things more painful than watching things you’ve written on go to waste. That said, if I’m lucky, I’ll have a few of those sitting around a Half Price Books store waiting for some next-gen culture-experimenter to give one of my creations a ride. At least in those cases, they’ll have history to […]

First warn your family about the homeless epidemic before taking them to downtown San Francisco

January 30, 2015 By Finn Leave a Comment

Powell St. station. Dublin / Pleasanton Westbound home. Two trains short of the drunk train. At least, that’s what we called the last South Shore train back home. We met up with Katie’s father for dinner just off the Embarcadero. He’s in town for a lawyer conference. We had quite the exceptional time with him. […]

Why we moved to California.

June 9, 2014 By Finn 3 Comments

night sky over our apartment complex in dublin, ca

Yeah. So. We moved to California. It still doesn’t read quite right as I type it. As if out of a myth. But, 3 months in and we’re finally starting to settle in. We only have a couple boxes left to unload. Why did we move to California? It started at a coffee house. Katie […]

The Ballad of Bicks & The Three Godsends

June 26, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

It’s nearing 5am. A little later than what I wanted but our first Project 03 case study – those who took a chance on the project – had an issue come up. We dropped everything to help them out. Fair is fair. Instead of going to sleep after we got out of the office at […]

“Every Fire Is a Lesson Learned:” The Latest on Project 03

May 28, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

After a couple nice therapeutic days in Duneland I was ready to get back started on Project 03. In the last week we had a couple incredible developments involving avenues Project 03 can go. One development is a avenue Project 03 can utilize – but that’s still contingent upon a meeting important enough that people […]

The Chris Mahlmann Sessions

March 14, 2012 By Finn Leave a Comment

Last week ended up being a couple of lackluster events for the stuck-in-neutral NWiSM project. Sitting at Cornucopia Coffee Company by myself for what I was trying to pass off as a quiet lunch, I was started having reservations about putting any more effort into the project when, lo and behold, Chris Mahlmann came through the […]

Stormed So Loud That the Roof Caved in

June 24, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

A week ago, Google updated their indexing algorithm. The change was codenamed, “Panda 2.2.” The changed initially gave my project a 50% uptick in traffic. Today, It Took It All Away & Then Some A 95% dip in traffic for the project. I sat paralyzed in bed for a couple hours. 4, actually. It felt […]

“Just like Brian Wilson did,” (“lying in bed” and sleeping and hiding…)

November 23, 2008 By Finn Leave a Comment

For those who just want the video and lyrics… “Brian Wilson” music video [YouTube] “Brian Wilson” lyrics by Stephen Page “Gordon” by BarenakedLadies on Spotify “No. You’re a writer,” she supported. It only took those 4 simple words said in a back alley Broad Ripple bar around 2:15 AM by a supportive lady with designer […]
