Mark Weiss: The Decade That Rocked! showcases onstage and backstage moments and never-before-seen images from the period’s most historic concerts, tours and multiplatinum album covers, all captured through Weiss’s lens.

Mark “Weissguy” Weiss got his start in photography as a teen in the 1970s in Matawan, NJ. After getting his first camera in trade for mowing a neighbor's lawn for the summer, Weiss began sneaking into concerts, and the rest is quite literally rock ‘n’ roll history. He has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi and KISS. Weiss’s iconic images capture the artists onstage, backstage, and behind the scenes. He documented historic events including the US Festival, Live Aid, the Moscow Music Peace Festival, and the PMRC hearings in Washington, DC. His photographs have been published in thousands of magazines worldwide, and he is responsible for two of the era’s defining album covers, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet and Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry. His inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s and beyond. The Decade That Rocked, released in June, is now in its second print run and boasts over 500 five-star reviews on Amazon. Weiss has appeared on Australia’s Today show and has been featured in The Washington Post, The Daily Beast and Rolling Stone in support of the book.   The companion The Decade That Rocked podcast is now on its third episode.

Shell scripting registration closes soon... Want in?

Yes. Yes, I do want in to this class. I have zero understanding how I would use shell scripting in my daily technical writing duties, but I still want to learn. However, I took a class about Drupal this summer and have yet to use the information I learned in that class at work either - and work paid for me to take the class! I hope that I find out what I am going to do with my Drupal knowledge prior to forgetting my Drupal knowledge!

In any case, learning shell scripting would be awesome. I am likely to look at the resources that are presently available to me to ascertain whether there is already shell scripting classes I could take.

Brilliant Idea

This is an amazing idea! When I think about my own electronic drums,  I want to make sure that I do not have a bunch of cables that will make it look messy. 

I have to find a band first.
