A photo walk through the Minuteman National Park in Lincoln
When a friend with a car says he wants to take photos at a location you can't generally get to -- you know it's going to be an awesome day. As a result of my friend Mike visiting from New Jersey, I finally made it out to Minuteman National Park outside Lincoln, MA a few...
Live concert video of The Rationales and OldJack at the Lizard Lounge
Now that I've got the site rocking a new layout (cheers to the "Sight" theme from WPShower!) I'm inspired to catch up on photos and videos for Sooz TV. Back in May, I shot video at The Rationales album release party for "The Distance In Between" at the Lizard Lounge. They were joined by old...
The next adventure
Since my first job working in the web and tech worlds back in 1995, I spent most of the time working as a freelancer and consultant. In February I left that world to work at an office job. To be honest, I was thrilled to be working in an office where I had my very...

Seventeen! It was...

New Drupal work and photos from the Drupal 7 Party

One of the projects is The Future of Open Source forum that leads up to the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco each year. Built with Drupal Gardens, the forum is the companion website...
The Rock and Roll Book Club
I started a new book club in November 2010 called the Rock and Roll Book Club. The idea is that we'll all read the same rock music related book each month. The book will either be directly about rock music or written by a musician-turned-author. Most of us spend way too much time at our...
