Reset. Great song!<br/><br/> <p>MuteMath is the second concert in a row that blew me away.   Where Puscifer is incredibly cerebral, and detailed,  Mute Math is a sensory overload.  Full of energy and drive.   The stage show is very well produced, the band seemed like they had a absolute blast.  The lead of the band spent the concert jumping off stuff, running around, and in general doing some crazy shit.<br/><br/>He at one point slipped on a dive from the keyboard and almost cut his head open, but took it in stride. <br/><br/>The band took turns playing in the audience, or on items on stage, etc…    Excellent concert and I highly recommend it!   I have some video I shot of the drummer being moved by the crowd out to the center of the main floor and starting to rock from there.</p>http://www.jk720.net/post/16856715667http://www.jk720.net/post/16856715667Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:58:00 -0700DenverGothic TheaterMute MathMuteMathIn the same way people are proud to be an American because of the people who fought and died in its...http://www.jk720.net/post/16823045916http://www.jk720.net/post/16823045916Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:56:00 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/16784177625/tumblr_lymwquGfVl1qmm86t&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Listening to this stuff today.   Pretty Lights is a local CO artist (out of Ft Collins, went to scool at UC Boulder).  Brings lots of funk and style into what has become known at Dub Step kinda stuff.   Really dig this song, its so complex and detailed.    Got me really jamming while typing docs for work. </p>http://www.jk720.net/post/16784177625http://www.jk720.net/post/16784177625Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:18:00 -0700Pretty Lights<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyh9k7nOwS1qmm86to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cleaned the bike today over lunch in the garage, after leaving it uncovered accidentally for a month it was a nice grey color.   Now its looking good.   Checked the oil, and let it warm up nicely and rode it around a couple laps of the basement (to heat the brakes up after getting them wet to dry out).</p> <p>Definitely going to need to ride some more this winter as weather allows (which out here seems to be every day except for the few minutes it snows in Denver.)</p>http://www.jk720.net/post/16597610416http://www.jk720.net/post/16597610416Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:09:43 -0700<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyfyxgIPfH1qmm86to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My office this afternoon.  Conference calls, presentations, even a system demo, and wrenching on cars inbetween.  Turns out LTE access points are pretty fast! </p>http://www.jk720.net/post/16566090669http://www.jk720.net/post/16566090669Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:22:27 -0700<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to3_500.jpg"/><br/> Nearing Lizard Head Pass. <br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to1_500.jpg"/><br/> After lunch at a killer deli in Norwood<br/><br/> <img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to2_500.jpg"/><br/> Telluride during the film festival<br/><br/> <img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to4_500.jpg"/><br/> On the way to Gateway<br/><br/> <img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to5_500.jpg"/><br/> Leaving Gateway<br/><br/> <img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to6_500.jpg"/><br/> Tunnels at CO Natl Monument<br/><br/> <img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyccot1NJC1qmm86to7_500.jpg"/><br/> Road into Co Natl Monument<br/><br/> <p>I was doing some Geotagging of ~20K  GoPro photos today and while I was running through them I found some stills that I thought were either nice looking or fun.</p> <p>The first one is after finding the only place open to get some lunch in Norwood, CO on Labor Day.  The Happy Belly Deli -
