I Got the Led Out

This past Saturday night was an unexpectedly fantastic surprise.

A few weeks ago my dad invited me to a Led Zeppelin tribute band called "Get the Led Out" at Centennial Terrace in Sylvania. While I was raised to partly resent cover bands, this tribute band went overboard and nailed the Zeppelin sound like no other I have ever heard. Every song was note-for-note perfect, the stage presence over-the-top, and "Stairway to Heaven" exceeded the album version by a long shot.

I will certainly never get to see the real Led Zeppelin live, but Get the Led Out is a fine substitute that I plan to see again - and they are definitely worth front-row seats.

B3 out.

My First Week with An iPhone 4S: Quick Notes

The simple elegance of "it just works" is brilliant; my old Android phone was buggy as hell. However, the battery life of the iPhone is atrocious by comparison, and Android is years ahead with innovative ideas and customization.

I think Android will be the platform I eventually return to, but for now, the simple beauty and constraints of Apple's ecosystem is all I need for my mobile phone needs.
