Kernel panic? No problem...

About Me

punk, metalhead, computer geek, dad, guitar player, all around goofball.
I put the "F" back in "art."
Last summer I was in a band called An Idol of Our Fear with some other old punks. We played one show. It was a blast. I also started an MP3 blog about punk and hardcore from the 1990's. It's called Memories of Tomorrow and I don't update it near enough.
