Ladies and Gentleman… The Bartles!
December 24, 2009
Each year on Christmas day my family gathers in the recording studio to record a Beatles song with intentions to reproduce the instrumentation, sounds and performances as closely as our talents allow. This year, we’re releasing our first album recorded between December 1998 and December 2008. We called it Crappy Road. Check out The Bartles!

Beatleween 2009
October 19th, 2009For this year’s pumpkin, I wanted to take a stab (no pun intended) at a carving with some shading technique. After considering Alex’s choice (the boys jumping), I decided I wanted the band with their instruments.
This carving turned out to be quite involved. The carving alone took about six hours, but I was [...]
My New Guitar
October 14th, 2009Believe it or not, I’ve been trying to play the guitar since I was six years old.

I’ve been ordering about five 4GB cards every couple months. Besides being small and easy to lose, they are difficult to label and [...]
Setup Time Machine on FreeNAS
September 5th, 2009Update 11/27/2009 — As HarryD notes in the comments, FreeNAS 0.7 (which was still in RC at time of this writing and did not contain this feature) allows a much easier way to setup Time Machine using AFP. See his post here. I’ve not tested this feature in 0.7 and currently using the approach as follows.

Fixing PHP Timezone Issue in Snow Leopard (10.6)
September 5th, 2009I always forget about my PHP development environment when I upgrade OS X. Apple must think it’s really funny to make developers figure out what’s changed and how to fix it. Snow Leopard brings us PHP 5.3, which apparently requires a value in the date.timezone setting or your code will produce warning messages. Unfortunately, this [...]
