Zune 3.0 Coming

September 12, 2008 by Olaf Leave a Comment

Mmmm…Zune 3.0. I’ve just read Jason Dunn’s (of ThoughtMedia.com) report on a recent Microsoft meeting discussing the Zune 3.0 release. I am completely sold on the Zune platform and am greatly encouraged by the up-and-coming release. Perhaps the greatest boon of them all is that the Zune team will be including us … [Read more…]

Silver Stars: A Sensual Boutique

October 29, 2007 by Olaf 2 Comments

It was about a year ago that I wrote about Gainesville’s decision to close its doors to the occult. If you’re on the business end of the occult, maybe now is a good opportunity to try out your entrepreneurial venture again! Gainesville is now the happy home of one Silver Stars: A Sensual … [Read more…]

Blog Your Passion

October 6, 2007 by Olaf 3 Comments

Of particular importance is my interest in a legacy. I am passionate about telling my story. Above all else, I trust that my musings will pass along a message that I cannot reach into my own ancestry for. That message will be a referential perspective to those in need of familial comfort. If we are to know the answer to life, the universe, and everything, we are to know our history.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

July 20, 2007 by Olaf 4 Comments

We’re doing the Harry Potter book release event for book 7 at “Bound to Read” in East Atlanta Village. It’s an exciting venue – it’s the last one as far as we know. We should have hit this market sooner – it’s a blast! The first one for us was in Gainesville … [Read more…]

Emily Yoffe Learns ‘The Secret’

May 12, 2007 by Olaf 7 Comments

Emily Yoffe at Slate.com recently wrote a piece for the Human Guinea Pig column regarding The Secret. I haven’t read the book myself, but I did read The Power of Intention which I am to understand is a similar concept. Emily retells her two month account of following the book’s advice and finds … [Read more…]

Raquy Danziger Workshop

May 6, 2007 by Olaf 2 Comments

Saturday I took a workshop with Raquy Danziger of Raquy and the Cavemen. She’s touring for her latest album release, “Naked.”
I’ve been looking forward to this workshop since before it was actually being offered with her busy touring schedule. Perseverance paid off and the schedule was finally updated to include Atlanta as a … [Read more…]

Too Zune to Tell

January 1, 2007 by Olaf Leave a Comment

I got a Zune for Christmas – a wonderful gift, really. I really wanted to get into the iPod/Zen/etc. scene, but I wasn’t that interested in the whole iTunes thing. I also want video to be a comfortable size and 4:3 aspect ratio. The Zune has that, and is still pocket size … [Read more…]

Ed Gein

October 9, 2006 by Olaf Leave a Comment

I took a morning stroll through man’s disturbing past and read some articles about Ed Gein recently. If you’re planning on reading through this man’s history, you should probably do so a little later in the day. Gein is the man who inspired such characters as Buffalo Bill (Silence of the Lambs), Texas … [Read more…]

Cecil Gives us the ‘Straight Dope’

October 4, 2006 by Olaf Leave a Comment

Always hilarious and oft insightful, Cecil Adams writes information tidbits in newspaper columns around the nation as well as his own books. One is given the sense that Cecil is all-knowing, though the occaisional smart-ass will prove this technicall incorrect. I own one of his books and enjoyed very much. I now … [Read more…]

The Red Tent

October 2, 2006 by Olaf 1 Comment

I’ve just recently finished “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. The book was very enjoyable, though tedious for me at first. It was actually when I could compare the story of Jacob and his family from the Bible that the story became most interesting. I enjoyed hearing the comparisons and contrasts between … [Read more…]
