Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

Developer, designer, musician, recording engineer. In other words, I like to make things

@thisphrase I've had Thoreau's Walden on my list of things to read for the last month or so, really looking forward to it.

@Nancyroo Ahhh, what's a matter? A bit of Apple envy? Sure I use a superior phone and computer, but no reason to get bent out of shape.

Just realized I haven't watched a single second of actual television since the NCAA basketball tournament ended. I hate television shows.

Why is there a party going on on the roof of my parking garage? I'd like to be able to drive somewhere now, get the hell off my veranda.

I need to buy a bar, so that when it gets busy and I want to hang out there, I can kick everyone out.

Perfect day to listen to the Kings of Convenience. The only question: Riot on an Empty Street or Quiet is the New Loud?

Well this is a sad day. @akrito was the last person I expected to become a Twitter spammer.

I was surprised to find an almost universal love for Steely Dan. I wonder what people think of the smoothest of all bands—Seals & Crofts

Really enjoying the Angus & Julia Stone album For You today.

I haven't done a good job of preparing myself well enough, but am glad that I have the will and the ability to do so in the near future.

It's good from time to time to take a step back and reevaluate what you've done well and not so well.

Tonight I learned the awesome power of the Shark Attack from the Sand Bar. That, and I have awesome friends in here in Lawrence.

@beetlemeyer you don't tweet much, but when you do, it's awesome.

Wow it's nice outside. Get to a patio stat! — at Bourgeois Pig [1]

It's ridiculously nice outside. Glad I'm on a patio enjoying the weather...suckas!

Nothing can penetrate Seals and Crofts fortress of smoothitude. Except their album Unborn Child, which ruined their career.

A summer breeze makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind. So smooth...

@kylestern You are the master of puns. First the "encore" at Encore, now this. Well done sir.

If I ever go out to lunch with my significant other and instead of talking to her I just read the newspaper, please shoot me.

Django 1.2? Yes, please.

Man, I do enjoy getting down at a wedding.

Ok, so it's actually a little rainy for an outside wedding, but a couple of kegs will help with that.

It's a nice day for a white wedding.

@thisphrase So the doc itself was kind of so-so, but the history behind it, and the man himself, pretty incredible.

This is the best beer commercial I have ever seen or will ever see: [1]

Must get a theramin.

Watching Moog—a documentary about the pioneering electronic music creator. Pretty incredible.
