I had to take my old iPod 2Gb Nano down to the apple store because the buttons where not working. If you tried to use the click wheel it would not respond. If I pressed any of the other buttons they would not respond. The only thing that would work is if I pressed the[…]
Here is yet another song I have played on my Tin Whistle. Stricken Smitten and Afflicted. enjoy >:-D I have been working on this one, it has a lot of 1/8 notes, so I don’t think it really is going to sound too good, but I hope to use this tune to get myself comfortable[…]
I went to the Pittsburgh Irish Festival today, I meet up with my Mother, Sister and her husband. My mother got me a T-Shirt with the following text on it “Pasta & Potatoes Italian and Irish” I just love the shirt. (My mother is 50% Italian, and as my mother tells me that the 25%[…]
Well as of Friday (Sep 8) I went past 900 miles on my way to the goal of 1000 miles biked this year. I am wondering something when I hit the 1K mark should I just put “1000 miles goal reached” or should I just keep accumulating the numbers over 1000.
I am probably going to put up a separate section for my music that I have recorded of my playing my Tin Whistle. I just have to find a good php web app to put up to manage it. Yes I am lazy and don’t want to have to write a web page for it[…]
Pittsburgh’s Irish Festival is this weekend. I am looking forward to it.I am probably going to go down to it this Sunday after Church.
I have posted a few mp3’s I have recorded of my playing my tin whistle, and chances are high that I probably will be posting more mp3 of myself playing. The question now is should I just keep putting links to the new mp3’s on my blog or should I put up some more php[…]
I am not very good at the tin whistle yet, but I keep plugging away at it, and with that said here is an attempt by me to play the tune for Ode to Joy (music lovers you might not want to hear this 😉 ). I still need to practice but, I think maybe[…]
Some one asked me to do more posts on the Tin Whistle, so here. I have been playing around with playing Ode to Joy. I think I am doing well, but I am having problems with measure 10 and 11 with the 2 1/8 notes followed by a 1/4 note, and proceeded by a 1/4[…]
Well here is the review of the hymn section of the new LCMS hymnal (LSB) This is coming from a average church member and tin whistle player. This part of my review of the new hymnal is where I will be the most kind to the new hymnal First they did change some of the[…]
The LCMS recently put out a document called “Public Rebuke of Public Sin” in which they say that people in the synod should not publicly talk about it (chat rooms, email, message boards, and blogs). I wonder what the LCMS would say about a monk in Wittenberg, that is speaking against a public sin in[…]
Some of my friends have made a comment about the lack of posts here as of late, for this I am sorry I just have been busy as of late. I will try to post more often but life does have a way of getting in the way at times.
Well I was messing around with my Tin Whistle tonight and going though my hymnal (The Lutheran Hymnal) and I ran across the tune Coronae (if you click here you can hear my play it, not well but) I will admit I really like the tune, I am not sure about the text of the[…]
This is not the second review I promised of the hymn section, this is something I should have put in the first review, but did not find till today. It would be filed under the section of Bad: One section that they omitted from LSB, was the section with the Propers. In TLH it was[…]
The Pictures from today’s bike ride are up
Tonight I setup my 40m attena to tune around the 20m band of the ammature radio band, while I did not key up (still have yet to make any contacts on my new privileges that passing my general exam granted me) I did enjoy tuning around. It took me some time to get my attenas[…]

For the last few years I have been off the air. And recently decided to get back on the air (Amature Radio) This was persipitated when my old car (a Scion IQ) died, the computer of it got fried. So I had to get a new car. With the change of the car I took[…]
I think Nintendo is make a mistake with the “game key cards” the new digital only game cards that Nintendo is doing. With the situation where more 3rd parties are doing those instead of a real game card. I will not buy a game that not fully on the disc or on the cart, which[…]
Well looking at the new switch 2 that is to come out soon, I originally was excited and was thinking of pre-ordering it. But after the news of both the system, and the games, my doubt started to set in. Then I looked at the launch line up, and found none that I wanted. And[…]

With summer coming buy, and me still on my diet, I came up with a snack, I have always enjoyed popsicals, so what I am doing now, is I am taking those water enhancers that say they have 0 calories and use that as the flavor for my popsicals, and I have some popsical makers.[…]
