Brent Billock's Tumblr
I'm Brent. I do Internet marketing and run a stock picking community website. My job and heart are still in Chicago, but I'm telecommuting from Cincinnati.
I do a little longform blogging at billock.net and I tweet as @BrentBillock.
I really like motorcycles, guitars, and good design.
Shins at The Shoe in Cincinnati tonight!
Stomach flu last night. I hope I’m up to it. But I did eat my lunch and keep it down, so here’s hoping they play a bunch of the good old good ones. On Austin City Limits, they did practically the whole new album and I don’t think it’s as good.
And yes, I sold out my principles and gave my money to a city-killing casino just because they have a band there that I want to hear live.

This is a picture from the Curiosity Rover on Mars showing Earth from the Perspective of Mars. You are literally looking at your home from the Perspective of another planet. Epic times indeed

This is complete bullshit. $600 a year to use Adobe software now. So now you can’t buy a boxed product, and continue to use it until new hardware breaks its functionality. They’re going to keep billing you month after month to use their increasingly bloated, clumsy behemoth.
And killing Fireworks? That’s the one usable program they have. It’s actually easy to work with both vectors and bitmaps to create gradients and effects that work on the web.
Now they’re going to shove everyone into either Photoshop, where vectors are a nightmare, or Illustrator, where you can’t edit bitmaps. Brilliant!

Love Polly Jean. I have to go through her catalog again and see which of her songs is screaming out to be covered. I’m never going to get 2 hours of originals together, so it’s time to work in a few tunes that pay tribute to my all time favorites.

The gun show loophole is a well known phenomenon. You can find numerous explanations and discussion via the Google, but here are a few:
The stated goal of closing the loophole is just an attempt to require all gun sales to go through the same NICS background check that licensed dealers already conduct for every purchase. For responsible gun owners who aren’t convicted felons, mentally ill, or convicted of a domestic violence offense, it creates no additional obstacle.
The NRA used to support universal background checks as a responsible step toward gun safety that didn’t prohibit what are now already legal sales. But since they’re now more of a lobbying group for gun manufacturers than an advocate for actual citizen gun owners, they are fighting it vehemently with slippery-slope fallacies and factual misinformation.
Thanks for asking! I assume you yourself are not a felon, nut, or spouse-beater, so hopefully you can responsibly enjoy all the guns you care to own while still supporting the idea that maniacs and criminals shouldn’t be able to get them easily and legally.
