The Adirondack 46ers website redesign

March 27, 2011

Before:

Old 46ers Website

I took over as the new volunteer webmaster for the Adirondack 46ers last summer and since then I’ve been redesigning their website little by little. Last week I was finally able to launch the new design, alongside a new book from the 46ers. http://www.adk46r.org. The new site is HTML5, WordPress backed, and the 6000+ name roster is much snappier than it used to be. Click the screenshot below and tell me what you think.

After:

New 46ers Website

The most beautiful hip hop record ever made

March 22, 2011


Buck 65 is calling his new album 20 Odd Years “the most beautiful hip hop record ever made” on twitter. He might be right. My favorite track:

Two of My Favorite Things

February 7, 2011

Bright Eyes, one of my favorite bands, wrote a song about the singularity, one of my favorite awesome predictions about the future. I cannot begin to describe how happy it makes me that I can get my Bright Eyes and technological singularity from one song. I’m really enjoying Bright Eyes’s new album. This is a great song to listen to while we wait for the singularity to get here…

My top 10 albums of 2010

January 10, 2011

  1. The Suburbs (Arcade Fire)

    album cover

    I don’t love this as much as Arcade Fire’s previous album Neon Bible, but this is still my favorite album of 2010. It’s nearly perfect. I was lucky enough to see them last summer in Montreal at Osheaga. Here’s a song from this album.

The next Kid Cudi

November 21, 2010

I found this guy Hoodie Allen on The Hype Machine today. His mixtape “Pep Rally” is available for free on his website. His style and the way that he is releasing his music for free reminds me of early Kid Cudi. I’m predicting that he’ll be as popular as Kid Cudi soon. Download the rest of the album.
