From what I know about NAPers, there is not a true gearhead amongst us and perhaps that is the thing I have not been able to put my finger on that makes NAP incomplete. True gearheads look great on a bike (as seen above). I’m not sure any of you look [...] It’s 2 am on a Monday, and I am up late because I can’t sleep. Quietly, I creep into the kitchen and whip up a batch of maple-cranberry oatmeal cookies. Ordinarily I listen to the songs on my iPhone when I cook, and I cook a lot. Most of my kitchen music is familiar [...] I spend soooo much time downloading music, it’s crazy. I spent most of today catching up on my downloads. I think I need a faster internet connection. That way, my productivity would skyrocket… right? However, if I have my desktop computer on, I feel a sense of anxiousness if it’s just sitting there not [...] For years, I’ve had a strange relationship with musical gear and the idea of the “gear head.” I’ve been excited about the possibility of simply playing with music gear to find new sounds and new methods of expression – and as a guy, I like new toys.
