It is unbelievable to me that this has gone undiscovered until now.

Alice in Chains Unplugged is one of the top 10 albums of all time... in my opinion. Here are the first two songs as performed on MTVs Unplugged on April 10, 1996, Nutshell and Brother. Please enjoy.

The Moon Over Burlington
"SUPER MOON" TONIGHT: Tonight's full Moon is a perigee moon, as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons of 2012. This is a harmless but beautiful astronomical phenomenon. Enjoy the moonlight!

Here is this month's "Song of the Month" by strange request. Air — Playground Love, from The Virgin Suicides. You can also find it conveniently located to the right.
Also for those that don't know, the blue column, its contents, and the contents located beyond that to the right are intended to be "fixed" to the page using a particular property of CSS called "fixed." This is designed to "freeze" in place the information contained within its boundaries. In this case, the "Navigate Through Posts" links and all of the others are (in a perfect Web world) supposed to stay put as you scroll down the page to see all of the wonderful information I put up on this Website. Unfortunately, this is not always what happens and in fact, using only standard Web browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome) on laptops and home computers will you see the proper effects of this design and as such, this is how I assume a majority of users will view my site. Most other methods of browsing will fail when it comes to freezing the links on the page. The iPad®, iPhone® and Android® devices do not display the "fixed" property for sure. I have not had the luxury of testing my site(s) on every possible device, but from what I recall, the other tablets such as the Samsung® Galaxy do display this propety as they should, though I cannot guarantee this. Being that I'm not a professional Web developer and only an amateur, I do not know of a solution to this issue nor will I find one. I'm over it already.

Oh. My. God. Would you please look at where we were!? It was a very surreal experience... awesome.
And here is a picture I took of myself from the exact same spot (roughly) in August of 2002... ten years ago. I certainly wish I could have just skipped the past decade and gotten to where I am now. Right now and where I'm going is perfect and it's amazing how happy I am and how everything is working out as I've planned... albeit slowly, it's working. But I suppose it wouldn't be the same now if I hadn't learned all the unfortunate things I did during the course of that decade. Here we are.
