Turning Ideas Back Into Ideas

Minos are opening for Dokken Sunday, July 17th 2011 at Mayo Park in Rochester, MN. Check out this sample of “Skyfire” with some snippets of what we’ve been up to.

Haven’t posted in awhile because I’ve been busy learning songs and playing shows with a band I recently joined as my other self; and that band is folk metal outfit MINOS, a group I’m very happy to be a member of. Anyway, we are having a CD-release show on Saturday, April 9th at the Northstar Bar in Rochester, MN. It’s free to get in and Dawn of Valor and Unity will also be playing. You can preview the MINOS songs on CD Baby and Amazon where you can also buy a download of the album.

Ad for MINOS (band I recently joined) show Friday, February 18th at Station 4 in St. Paul, MN. Opening for Finntroll and Ensiferum.

An eye opening talk from Aaron Huey on what really happened at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. If truth and history are things that you find interesting, this video is a must.

Mini-video documentary I made of the power metal show that took place at the Wicked Moose in Rochester, MN featuring Minos, Dawn of Valor and Metal Witch. Everything was shot with a cheap Flip video camera I bought at Wal-mart not to mention this was my first attempt at editing video.

I love innovation. Here are some examples of really cool new products featuring the dazzling Ellie Rountree of Rocketboom interviewing Popular Mechanics’ Seth Porges. I particularly like the idea of using a soccer ball to make electricity. 

Message From the Gods

Divined a message from the gods (Norse ones anyway) and translated it into International Morse Code. You can read about it here.

New Blogger blog partially explaining where I’ve been and what to expect.

Facebook is where most of the action will be happening for the time being. Just set up a page there recently where my blogs will be automatically fed to the Notes tab as well as into the News Feed. I also have a MySpace page as well as a Home site where you can find out more about me. On top of that I have pages for Herostratus (which I hope to be a full band in the near future) and Legendary Kingdoms.

If you’ve never read my blogs, you can read past ones here. New ones will be coming soon and all will be explained.
