Okay so basically....
This
blog
is
basically
done.
I
mean,
I'll
update
it
every
now
and
then
probably,
but
most
likely,
I
won't
use
it
for
all
that
much
like
now.
I'll
be
creating
a
new
blog
strictly
talking
about
my
trip
to
Nicaragua
in
February
2017,
but
that
won't
be
here.
I'll put the link here when I make that, but in the mean time, go to my website.
Just do it. It's better than this blog. Trust me! :)

My Side-Quest
Hey,
all!
So
as
you
may
know,
my
album
Groove
came
out
a
few
days
ago!
(See
the
post
below
for
more
info
on
that
lol!)
But anyways, when I was recording for Groove, there were some days where I just wanted to sit down and fool around for a bit on just piano. The free album that I uploaded today, (right here) is just that! Just plain, simple, piano. It's not perfect, but it was done first-take, as in I played these songs once, and that's what I recorded and uploaded! And honestly, I really like the sound of it. Go check it out. Like, now. :)

Groove is Here!
Hey,
all!
Sooo,
it's
been
a
bit.
But
guess
what?
I
finally
finished
my
album
Groove
and
it's
up
and
Bandcamp
(just
typed
"bandcramp"
on
accident
by
the
way
-
lol)
right
now!
Over at www.playthekeys.bandcamp.com, just click on, "Groove," and from there you're good to go! Have a quick listen and then maybe buy it for $2? *wink wink*? :)
Anyways, thanks for viewing Play The Keys!
P.S. I love listening back to my older stuff. Then, I listen to the new stuff again and it really just shows how far I've come. So thank all of you guys for the encouragement and help along the way! No, really - thank you!!! :D

It's Been A Month...
Hey,
all!
So,
yeah.
It's
been
a
little
while
since
I
last
posted
on
December
1st.
My
reason?
Well,
there's
been
a
lot
going
on
in
the
past
few
weeks.
I'll
give
you
guys
all
the
rundown
-
okay?
Christmas services at MCC were awesome. That was probably my favorite part of the whole month. No, seriously. I played at Wellington on the 23rd for both of the services, and boy were they fun! The songs were tricky for all of us, but that's what made it feel like we were all doing our very best together to make something awesome. Honestly, with all of the cool lighting, fog, and the both louder and harder music all made it feel like I was playing at a concert. Which, by the way, was AMAZING! :D
I also played at another Christmas program at our local Christian preschool (where I went as a kid) Chestnut. And yup, this was also hard, but also extremely fun! After getting the sheet music, realizing that I had no idea what I was doing, getting the actual songs, making chord sheets, and then playing all 16 songs 3 times at the shows, I was tired. But while doing it, I had major nostalgia waves I guess as I seemed to remember some of the parts of the plays that the kids were saying. A few of the songs rung a bell in my head, too! Overall, I really loved getting to help out with that this year - it was pretty darn fun!
On Christmas Day, we stayed home and essentially sat on our butts. (Not that we don't do that every year - haha!) We went for a small walk because it was like 60 degrees, and we also played with the Socker Boppers which we had received that morning. Awesome.
I got some awesome gifts this year, too, and I'm very thankful for all of them!
My parents' main gift to me was a Yamaha YPG-235. Now I can record my music in my room with my computer instead of our (now older) MacBook!
My brother Camden got me an HMDX Chill speaker, which is epic! Loud, crisp, and is Bluetooth!
My brother Logan got me (arguably the most thoughtful gift of the entire day) a Play The Keys shirt using CustomInk!!! THIS IS SO SWAG. Sorry just had to get that out of the way...
Oh yeah, here's one little late Christmas gift to you guys...Play The Keys works on mobile now! Go ahead, try it. Please comment an tell me if you find any bugs so I can squash 'em! Thanks so much for viewing Play The Keys!
P.S. Nope, haven't forgotten about my album Groove. It's coming. Still in the works, but coming. :)

My Windows 10 Wallpaper
I
know
what
you're
thinking....Another
wallpaper?
Yes, yes, I know. I have a bit of an addiction. :D
Anyways, I added 3 new wallpapers to Google Drive, my personal favorite being this one:
Which I based off of the default Windows 10 wallpaper. Check out the link in the Play The Keys Menu to see my shared Google Drive!

Today (11-12-15)
So.
Yesterday was Veterans Day, and I wanted to say thank you any veterans who might be viewing this post! Because really - thank you so much for all you do. It makes a big impact on our country and even world - without you veterans, our safety wouldn't really be a thing.
Other stuff going on today: nothing. Well, we have school at least! Hooray.....I just have to remember that the weekend is coming - because it is.
What are you guys up to? Email, comment, text me, I don't care, just contact me and tell me what's up! :D

Aaaaand - We're Done
Hey.
So,
as
you
can
probably
tell,
the
update
is
complete!
I used Google's web engine called Material Design Lite to code the Welcome/Home page - the only one that actually needed coding. The rest is just links off of the main page.
As for mobile functionality, (if you're on your phone right now you'll know) it still needs a little bit of work. Things are too big and kinda squished on the smaller screens. If you're seeing this post, but not seeing the update, refresh your page and that will fix the problem!
Also - the Bible Gateway Verse of the Day is back!
Thanks for dealing with my insanely geeky self! :D

Get Ready
Hey,
all!
I'm tweaking the template to this blog for the new engine update! This will format the blog page so that it will work on both mobile and computer and still look good.

A Real Web Engine?
Hey,
all!
So,
yesterday
I
started
re-coding
this
website
(again)
but
this
time
using
a
real
engine!
This
will
allow
my
site
to
look
and
work
much
nicer.
And
the
best
part?
When
used
on
a
mobile
device,
this
site
won't
look
completely
terrible
anymore!
:D
I also worked a little bit of my magic and made a new nicer logo. Here's a screenshot of the main screen when you first press the search key!
I'm not finished, but I think that when I am, It'll look really nice all together.
Thanks for dealing with my crazy geek self! :P
P.S. I quickly made a poll to see if there are any ways that you think I can improve selling and advertising my music albums. Reading it after I published it, it sounds as if I'm a little bit angry or something - but I'm not the slightest bit! There are many friends and family who support me with my music, it's just that I'd like to see if I can get more! :) You can access the poll here. Please take a quick moment and fill it out for me! Thanks!

Today (11-9-15)
Today is Monday. My least favorite day of the week. Of the month. Of the year. Yup!
So anyway, we're starting a thing where we're gonna post on our blogs everyday - cool! I'm supposed to tell you guys what's up right now, so I will!
Currently, I'm sitting at my desk doing this. (Duh) and right after I'm finished I'll get started on my VLACS. Today I think I have math and language arts. Then I'll get going on my Spanish, (Duolingo). I have a few other subjects today, but VLACS will take up most of my time! :P
I also wanted to mention that I'm bringing back the Bible Gateway Verse of the Day! In my next site update, it'll be back on the main page where it belongs. When I first coded this site in HTML, it kinda disappeared. I'm gonna work to get it back, but it'll be awhile before I completely overhaul the site again. (This time using a real engine!)
Anyway, hope you all have a great day, and I'll be back tomorrow!

ANDROID MARSHMALLOW!
Hey, all! Android Marshmallow is out! Super excited that it's finally here, and brings a few tweaks and improvements to the already awesome Android Lollipop.
I'm thinking that I'll do an "Android Marshmallow on the Nexus 7 2013" type video on Tech Geekin, but not quite yet. Some of the features aren't working quite right on my tablet yet, so I can't really show it off.
Anyway, expect a review sometime in the future! :D
New Tech Geekin' Video
Hey, all!
So, I just published a new TG video on my GameBoy Advance SP. Go check it out at: https://youtu.be../oS292qJB68g.
Just so you all know - I soon will be putting a Tech Geekin' link up in the top-left navbar of this site for quick access!
Thanks for viewing this quick post!
