Everyone knows how to do something. Whether it's playing a guitar, gardening, carpentry, knitting, painting with watercolors, caring for an iguana...we've all acquired certain skills in our lives, and it's only right that we should want to share the results of our hobby and also share what we've learned about how to do it well.

On this site, I'm going to talk about my own skill or hobby. I'll give a bit of history on the subject itself, as well as some background on how I got involved in it. I might also include some instructions on how to perform my hobby, as well as any tips or tricks I've acquired through the years. And, of course, I'll include lots of pictures of the results of my hobby or of me enjoying myself doing it.

Here at Algorithm records, we are committed to bringing you the finest homegrown, high quality, non-sucky, really good music that we possibly can. Or, as Daniel Oppenheimer of The Valley Advocate put it, our songs are: "eccentric, cerebral, and eerily beautiful." However, lest you think we're just egg headed music geeks here on Miner Street--twiddling faders and tweaking reverb all the live long day--rest assured that we take plenty of time out to engage in some way rad cross-stitching!
