Weird Dreams
Ok. This is a weird thing to confess, but here goes. I had a dream about someone due to their blog. I’ve had odd dreams before, involving people I know but have never met. This, surprisingly, is not new to me. I’ve been talking to a number of folks online for years now, mostly through…
Look, Wal-Mart can be hip too (pending approval)
Wal-Mart’s misguided attempt to re-create MySpace: The HUB (where all the Hubsters hang out). Yeah. This was a “Build it and they will come” project, and the folks in charge here didn’t think things through. There’s not much functionality to the pages, and almost all the photos/videos that are uploaded are screened first, by Wal-Mart….
Matt Makes the News
As many of you know, my friend Matt Riddle (aka Tha.Riddla) competed in the United States Barista Championships a few months ago – and WON! Well, since then he’s been doing a ton of interviews, for both paper and television. I saw on his blog that the most recent TV interview for CBS took place….
Saturn Photoshoot
Ben and I were working off-site today, to do a photoshoot for an upcoming project for Saturn, at the radio station. We’ve done this sort of thing before, and knew what kind of shots we were after. However, we did run into some glitches early on in the day. We were to meet up in…
Audioplayer Updated
Oh, and I went ahead and posted up a few versions of “Hallelujah,” as well. There’s the original of course – and then arguably two of the better known covers by Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley (although I prefer Wainwright’s cover). Hope you like.
Hallelujah: Norwegian Variation
I came across this great MetaFilter post about a recent cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” It’s done by four Norwegians (I think): Kurt Nilsen, Espen Lind, Askil Holm and Alejandro Fuentes. Their voices are amazing, and some really great moments (I like Fuentes’ voice a great deal, and Nilsen’s crescendo when he kicks it up…

Fozzie: Closeup and Lens Cap
Happy Birthday, Steph!
Spent tonight hanging out with Liz and Steph, helping to celebraate Steph’s birthday. There was a pirate theme, which was in full effect (Liz went to town, and really pulled out all the stops). I for one, got to pull out my own stash of pirate paraphenaelia, which I got as a surprise birthday gift,…

Liz’s Car: Search and Recovery
Well, while I was catsitting today, I got a call from Liz. Turns out, the cops did find her car, parked in an alley somewhere up north (4933 North Kostner). And from there, I set off on a series of phone calls and searches, trying to figure out how to track down Liz’s car, and…
Liz’s Car: Backstory
About a week or so ago, Liz’s car was stolen. It just sort of happened out of the blue, and both of us took the news rather numbly. The car theft occurred at the tail end of a series of bad events. And we were both sort of like “wow, that sucks” and that’s about…
Catsitting Fozzie
While Chris and Leslie are out of town for a wedding, I’m checking in on Fozzie (who is not a dog).
