My own website

So I've decided to build my own website over winter break.  Knowing that I will be sending out resumes and internship/job applications, I figured it would be neat to have my own website that employers could check out.  My brother's a website developer so he's helped me out learning all that crazy looking HTML and CSS code.  It's kinda fun learning how to put together a website; people may think it's easy but it takes a lot of work and time.  Check me out @ MattVaghi.com !

VGA Cords and Christmas



Ok so it's officially Christmas! Merry Christmas to the Christmas-ers out there.  On a more angry face note, I was setting up my secondary computer (cause I'm a nerd), and those stupid screws are such a pain to screw in to the VGA ports.  There' s almost no easy angle to take to.
Anyway, my two sentence rant is over.  Merry XMas!

Belle and Sebestain Sleep the Clock Around

So yeah, its 3:28 AM but I'm not sleeping the clock around.  I just cannot sleep.  Here's one of the best Indie bands out there, Belle and Sebastian!

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals


 

Grace Potter is one of the most talented artists out there in a music market saturated by gloss and glam.  This is "Low Road" off her new album Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.  One take, none of that auto-tone trash, and she looks sexy as hell walking into the camera.  I saw her twice this year and look forward to seeing her again!
