Acch!
If you’ve been having trouble accessing this site it’s because I let my domain name expire. Rookie mistake! Classic situation: expired credit card, failed renewal, long-dead admin email so nobody knows it happened until it’s too late. From what the billing department tells me we should be back online sometime in the next 24 hours as the DNS information propagates throughout the interwebs. If anyone has tried to send me a million dollars, offer me a lucrative record deal, or employ me as contributing troubadour in the last couple of days and I haven’t responded, it’s not because I’m not interested in your proposal. And those of you who wanted to hire me as a webmaster may want to rethink your position.
Thanks to Hugh, Eric and everyone else who tipped me off to the problem. Onward.
Juggler Fight!
A couple of weeks ago I ran across this video of Chris Bliss juggling to Golden Slumbers by The Beatles, and like everyone else I thought it was pretty cool. Rather, almost everyone. Juggler Jason Garfield thinks it was crap, and anyway Chris Bliss looks like Leslie Neilson. He’s posted a long angry response as well as a video of him doing a 5-ball routine to the same song. Suck it Bliss!
My Hobo
The 500 Hoboes Project continues, albeit slowly. Len over at Jawbone drew this image of Hobo #577, Jonathan Crouton. As you can see, Mr. Crouton is beloved by furry lobsters everywhere.
Also, this blog is making me giggle. But what is it?
Thing a Week 24 – Don’t Talk to Strangers
Yes: the Rick Springfield song. This recording is based on an arrangement I once did live at Little Gray Books with my friend Phoebe. I heard a recording of it recently and my voice sounded terrible, but I liked the arrangement a lot so I thought I’d flesh it out a little more and give it to you nice people.
