We're steadily approaching the 1st of December, right now only about 40 minutes away. December means a few things to me. The weather finally starts to cool down a little bit, I can hole up with my tuba and do a lot of playing. I get to be a lot more active here. But, this December I get to celebrate an anniversary. I've been at Overclock.net for 3 years.

It's a long time, when I think on it. Gosh, I was 13 when I joined. I've spent a lot of time doing a lot of things. I founded and...

Games:
Age of Empires III
CS:S
HL2: DM
Company of Heroes
Unreal Tournament 3 Demo
Unreal Tournament 2004

Music:
I picked up another Mark Knopfler album recently, Kill to Get Crimson. Great stuff, simmilar sound to the Dire Straits but with a more laid back attitude. I recommend everybody check it out.

So most of you guys know I'm relatively interested in audio. I've got a particular sweet spot for vintage equipment, especially wood gear. And since most of you have not seen my rig, I figured I'd post it up for all to enjoy. Some of these pics are quite old, and since they were taken the Kenwood receiver has been killed, but the Sansui's are still crankin strong, even if I do need to recap the crossovers. The Sui's are SP-3000s, 5 way 6 speaker 60lb monsters circa 1980.

As many of you probably know, I spend most of my summer/fall busy with high school marching band, busy working the BOA circuit. This year has been a little more tedious than most, we lost a large incredibly talented senior class and brought in even more freshman, so it's been interesting to say the least. Yesterday was the first major show, the BOA Florida Regional. We ended up taking second by just 15/100's of a point to one of the large programs from the Atlanta area, though they're cool people...

We all find ourselves in a position requiring leadership of some degree. Whether you're responsible for your kid brother, or a group of several hundred, I like this little story as a reminder of how a manager does things right. A leader does right things.

This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody...
