It occurs to me that I didn't really make a proper Holidailies introduction post, in the autobiographical sense. I often run under the assumption that I never acquire new readers — I just have the same ones from 10 or 12 years ago. So I don't bother catching people up with what's going on.

I never really know how far back I'm supposed to go with these kinds of entries anyway. I think perhaps 12 months is a good span. Laziness — more a mother of invention than necessity — spurs me to employ a bullet list.

  • I work in Austin, Texas as a web developer in a job I've held for five years, depending on which start date you use.
  • I grew up in Honolulu, where I visited earlier this year to attend my dad's birthday party.
  • I have an unhealthy addiction to Japanese indie rock. Browse my Vox audio library to get a better picture.
  • I released an EP back in June as an experiment to see how involved the process is. The production part is easy. The promotion part totally eludes. (Wanna listen? Better yet, wanna buy?)
  • Since 2005, I've been writing and recording a lot of songs. I have about five albums in various states of unfinished.
  • I've lost 45 pounds since September 2007. I'm still working on that last 15, but the plateau, it is a hard mistress.

I'm probably going to talk about these topics over the next month. Particularly the music stuff. I'm back in the home studio again, and I am trying — really, really, trying — to get something absitively, posolutely finished. Could be this month is nothing but a recording diary.

I should be so productive.
