What is my role in a band?

This is just as much a review for my own benefit. I’ve heard a lot and thought a lot about what it takes to make a successful band work, and one of the important things is knowing what your role is on the instrument(s) that you play. Here’s what I think.

Gaming not an addiction…most of the time

I’ve posted on this before on a previous blog, but I’ve held to the opinion that playing games for a significant amount of time isn’t usually an addiction, and I’ve finally found someone with credentials who agrees.

What is the purpose of a worship band?

Music is a big part of most people’s lives; even the non-musical recognize tunes and jingles from commercials, and it’s rare for someone to never voluntarily listen to music in any format. Music is also central to a church service. Many churches call their services “worship services”, and many people equate worship to singing and making music.

I believe worship is much more than just music, but that’s a separate discussion. Right now, I want to consider the purpose of music in worship.

Immersive Games

It’s been a while since I last posted. In the last three weeks, I’ve started with my new company and increased the amount of time I spend practicing keyboards. I’m now running Linux at home and will be using Linux and Mac environments as well as Windows for work, which is a nice change. Diversifying is a good thing.

I found an interesting article about immsersive games. I’m no Nine Inch Nails fan, but I really like the concept, as nerdy as it is.

Stupid Web 2.0 Sites

Seems that despite the dot-com bust in the late 90’s, people still haven’t realized that just because content can be put on the Internet, that doesn’t mean it should be put on the Internet. Enjoy!
