I’ve been trying to avoid writing straight up reviews with this site. I generally don’t read them, because I think it’s a boring format, and most of the time they just come down to a number/letter/star rating with some weak justification to explain it, so why bother writing them? However, the lack of interesting things [...]
I’d planned on writing about this column by Carlos Frias from the Palm Beach Post at some point this week, but I think Deadspin’s Dashiell Bennett kind of hit it on the head with this piece. That said, I have some more fan-oriented thoughts to share. My parents met at the University of Florida. They [...]
I first saw this over at Metalsucks, where Corey Mitchell called it his sight unseen nominee for best metal DVD for 2009. I’m inclined to agree with him, but I guess we’ll both find out for sure whenever it gets released (Amazon has a book of the same name slated to come on out March [...]
This is the Gibson Dark Fire Les Paul. Gibson says that it’s the most technologically advanced guitar that they’ve ever built. It features their “Robot Guitar” autotuning technology, as well as the new “Chameleon Tone Technology,” which is supposed to let you get any tone possible with a single guitar. It’s a sign of how [...]
Seitzwrites.com wasn’t my first choice for a web domain, but it was the best option available. I think it’s tolerably bad though. I mean, it’s not very clever, but it does sum up what the site is about. My name is Seitz. I write. That’s why it’s styled with two periods at the top of [...]
I’m usually pretty mixed in my opinion of Rolling Stone. I’m not a fan of music magazines in general, so that’s a strike against it right off the bat, but there are usually enough good features or interesting interviews to get me to read it on a semi-regular basis. My favorite thing they’ve got going [...]
This is a Stanley Fat Max Xtreme Functional Utility Bar, also known as a Fubar. It’s 18″ long and weighs between 4-5 lbs. They market it as a demolition tool. My parents bought me one for Christmas because it’s badass and they love me. I have no pressing need for this tool, but I like [...]
Well, so much for that last post. Turns out that building themes doesn’t take long at all if you’re the only person in your apartment most of the day. Despite a few minor aggravations getting this to look right in IE, the whole process was a little bit simpler than I’d anticipated. Maybe I’m just [...]
I’m going to propose a writer’s corollary to Murphy’s Law: The best ideas will always hit you when can’t write them down. Or, in my case, they’ll you about five minutes after you get into bed, when the sheets have finally reached the ideal temperature, forcing you to debate getting up for the next ten [...]
There are a couple of magazines that I try to read every month, chief among those being Esquire and GQ. I should point out that reading these magazines has done next to nothing to improve my sense of fashion, but they do have, to me at least, some of the best writing of the major [...]
