Rock! Death! America!

About

The name of this blog comes from the name of a great Rheostatics song called, oddly enough, Rock! Death! America! The tagline (”Littering our noise on the Earth”) is from the aforementioned song.

I started blogging on June 25, 2003 at whomppower.blogspot.com. All posts from that blog, were copied over to this blog when it was created on February 19, 2007.

Now that the readership of this blog has skyrocketed from the humble zero readers in 2003 to the mind-boggling four in 2007, I thought it was time to make good on my promise. From the original post on June 25, 2003:

I’m just trying this blog thing out and wanted to make sure I would actually post to it before taking the time to move it to my own server.

I also promised that I would move it to my own server

…right after I do the other things I planned on doing soon — writing an MP3 server in .NET, becoming a virtuoso on the guitar, becoming the world disc golf champion, etc.

Well, after 3.5 years, I can now say that I accomplished something — I moved my blog to my own server (well…I guess I didn’t really do that as it is hosted elsewhere…but I do have a lot more control over it than I did on blogspot.com!)

You have probably noticed that the wife is the one who posts now. This is mostly due to the fact that I am usually working, doing tech support for Lesley, or drunk. Perhaps when I accomplish my next goal of being world disc golf champion, I’ll have time to post again. At this rate, I figure this will happen on September 14, 2037.

Now where did my beer go…
