    Public Perfect Halloween video featuring John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats. It's worth watching through the brief ad. It's all good, but esp the last minute with JD.

    Public I don't miss living somewhere where awful violent crimes happen within 1 mile of my house really, really often. The map shows the proximity. Used to see these reports all the time. Man, they stressed me out: Person Stabbed in Jamaica Plain - Yesterday at 4:29pm, officers from District E-13 responded to a radio call for a walk-in stabbing victim at Mass General Hospital. On arrival, officers spoke with ...

    Public Prince's "Darlin' Nikki" was performed by Cee-Lo with the Foo Fighters at the 2007 MTV VMA's, and it was freakin' GREAT! This is my first time creating an MP3 from a video online. Worked pretty well, I think!

    Public I'm so flattered! @dottiebobottie posted FABULOUS picture (it hit Explore) called "Let's Dance" like the Donna Summer song. She has now changed her description so that it links to a video of me singing the song (one of my all time favorites - although it's HARD!!). Click here to see her great picture and make sure to check out her description: http://tinyurl.com/2j9acq

    Public FYI: Cat Stevens did NOT sing Cat's in the Cradle... (from Wikipedia) Many people mistakenly believe the song to be the work of artist Cat Stevens, and a mis-titled MP3 version is widely circulated on the internet. Jack Black contributed to this confusion, playing part of the song in a Saturday Night Live sketch where Black's character claimed the song was by Yusuf Islam, a.k.a. Cat ...

    Public Today is the day that my very good friend, Smoooochie, meets my parents. She's a huge fan of my father's political blog (1boringoldman.com) and knows BOTH of my parents very well online. They are in Colorado for vacation, and since she lives in Denver, she's invited them for dinner.

    Last I heard, she was trying to decide if she should make them Shrimp Etouffee or Chicken ...

    Public Also on my blog, so please disregard if you've seen this there.

    Really fascinating music video showing the interconnectedness and complexity of our lives living on this technologically advanced global planet. In each moment of the day, we are touched by a thousand threads of technological and reliance on industry and technology occurring in all parts of the world, lest we forget it.

    The song is “Remind Me” by ...

    Public Today, I found out that Sunitha, one of my favorite people on this earth, has moved back to America (to Bloomington, Indiana) for a year or maybe more to finish her dissertation.

    She'd been back in Bombay trying to get it written, but there were too many distractions there. We spoke twice today. It was so great to hear her voice, hear her struggles with getting work done during ...

    Public Off to "Derm" with @sassafrassv and @oldking so they can buy a new car. I have to try out the back seat, since I basically live in their back seat. If it's not comfortable, I'm going to have to have a temper tantrum and kick my feet!!
