- Ugh
Well obviously I didn’t make the posting every day goal I had set. I got sick this week and didn’t even want to look at a computer because it made me dizzy. I am finally getting back on my feet, so hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things. I [...]
- Hammered Dulcimer
Have you seen this thing? I mean I know it is incredibly old but I just saw one for the first time and I was really shocked. I have always thought of myself as a percussive person. I, like everyone else, wanted to play the drums when it came time to pick an instrument in [...]
- The Constant
First, a challenge has been issued to me and I have accepted, though rather reluctantly. I am going to write in my blog, every day, for a month. The month of March is blog month for me. This means a couple of things. I am going to go against my previous entry regarding consistency and [...]
- A shift in focus…
I am not a very good blogger because I write incredibly sporadically and have no focus whatsoever. I looked at my tag cloud and Outdoors is the biggest item, which makes no sense. So it is time for me to pick a subject and just keep to it. I will throw some random things in [...]
- ryanbillingsley.com is somewhat live
I finished a very early version of my site. It will play my demo reel, which needs a lot of work, and then other videos I have done. I still need to edit the script to make it repeat the videos or give the option to repeat and I also plan to add my print [...]
- Coffee and Jazz
I love coffee. For a while I was a little snobbish toward it in favor of tea because I was on this whole “I wish I were British” thing, but I have come back to the fantastic drink. This morning I felt the need to go pick up a cup so I drove to the [...]
- The maddening stillness
If you know me then you probably are aware that I have this thing about moving. I need to do it. When I was a kid I rocked. Not just in a chair, but everywhere. I could rock in bed, in the car, on the couch; it didn’t matter as long as I was rocking. [...]
- Bum Rush the Charts
A good follow up to my last post, a group has organized what they call Bum Rush the Charts. They are encouraging as many supporters of new media, blogs, podcasts, etc., to go and purchase the song, which is by an independent band, so that it can be pushed to the top of the charts. [...]
- RIAA Worst Company in America
The Consumerists’ readers voted the RIAA the worst company in America, just beating out Haliburton. This shouldn’t be that surprising, anyone who cares about how the RIAA operates knows the horror stories about their desperate attempt to hold onto the “good ol’ days” when they had complete control of the distribution music and got to [...]
- The People’s Car
This weekend I kick off an 8 month documentary project titled “The People’s Car.” The concept behind the documentary is to capture what it means to be a VW enthusiast. I plan on filming 9 events, including traveling there and back, get togethers, as well as interviews with members of my local club chronicling how [...]
