First Piece of 2010

When I was a kid a was absolutely positive that by 2010 we would all have our own personal spacecraft. Well, we’re officially a whole decade into the 21st century and a the ability to cruise the galaxy is still limited to a handful of folks . I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate the new year by paying homage to my greatest childhood fantasy. Happy New Year!!!

Your best friend’s older brother would leave one laying around when he thought it was played out and you’d snag it. [...]
Digital Mixtape Vol. III
I’ve been compiling this mix for a while now. Some of these songs go back into the early 2000′s. You’ll notice that I’ve kept a loose mood in this compilation. It’s all Indie, but some of it is tinged with twang. Have a listen… you’ll see what I mean. Download Album
Nate Greuel
Nate Greuel is the designer/photographer with the “Cosmic Touch”. By that I mean his work is almost otherworldly. Always laced with all the right details his work as an interactive designer is hard to parallel. I always seem to find myself asking, “How in the world did he do this?”
Mary Lessing
