Beetle!

No, I'm not Sgt. Snorkel yelling at his least favorite recruit... I'm referring to the new car that Emma and I just purchased!

Check it out:
It's a 2006 New Beetle... We got a sweet deal on it! Certified used, still has 44k worth of warranty on it, it's got all the bells and whistles that could possibly be stuffed into it, and best of all, it's a 5 speed manual... Bang!

Check out some more pics here!

iPhone Recording Quality

Recently, I and my wife, Emma Linn, came into the possession of 2 iPhone 3Gs... I cannot remember exactly how we stumbled upon these devices, but somewhere in our various travels in and about town, we found ourselves with these two new telephonic devices...

Since the internet is chock full of information about the iPhone as a device, I shall not bore you (to tears possibly) with the details of the device itself, nor any of the standard software that comes included therein...

One noteworthy note of note, however, would be an application (or "app", as the kids call it these days) aptly named "Recorder"... It's 99¢... It does what it says... S'got a huge red "Record" button, you press it, it records... Done...

But! If you're at home (or when you get home) and your iPhone connects to the wireless network, you can then sync the recording to your computer wirelessly over the network... Bang!

Also, the recording quality (if you turn on the high quality setting) with just the built in iPhone mic is outstanding... If you don't believe me, check out my solo acoustic version of "Soldier of Love" on the player to the right. That's only the iPhone mic, a quick copy to Garageband to stereo-ize it and an export to iTunes... Sounds good!

The Last and Final Amount of Malfunktion...


In our set closer, we keep things rockin' with "Rockin' in the Free World"... Quite possibly our signature song, and a very last minute addition to this year's setlist... We just couldn't resist...

Still Yet Even More Malfunktion!


Here Malfunktion tackles the recent Foo Fighters song "Long Road to Ruin." Enjoy!

More Malfunktion!


Here's another song from our set! This time it's the classic "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream... The wireless mic cuts out a bit on the vocals, but I think the wailing guitars of Jolly and Vogel make up for it...

Time After Time: Malfunktion Live!



Here's a video of Malfunktion playing at the "School House Rocks" teacher talent show this past weekend! We tried to rock as much as possible, and we were fairly successful to that end... Special thanks to my wife for the cat-calls at the beginning of the video...

Long Time, No Blog!

Clearly it has been a while (if I wanted to, I could calculate exactly how long, as the date is posted on the last blog entry, but who has the time to do that... Certainly not someone who has the time to type out this really long explanation) since my last blog post, but with good reason. I now have a job that requires more skills than simply showing up and speaking English... 

So I promise a fun update soon, complete with video... I just have to find a time when I am not working to capture said video digitally, edit said video, and upload said video... But it will be worth the wait (possibly not, but it's free and you're not forced to watch it...).

Munich Day Three, Four, and Five!

Whoa! It's been a while since I've written a blog... I'm gonna group the rest of Munich together and call it good... Click on a day to see the pics from that day!

Day Three
: We headed to the world's largest beer garden, then to the Nymphenburg Palace, and lastly to dinner at a restaurant where the waiter yell-asked how many beers we wanted... ("Bier! Two!...?")

Day Four: We toured Dachau's concentration camp, then went to the Hacker-Pschorr biergarten...

Day Five: We toured through the treasures of the Residenz, then headed to the Englischergarten, which is another huge beer garden!!

Whoo! Done with Munich!
