Overblogging
Man, I have been overblogging lately. If only I could get started shooting a movie, I wouldn't be overblogging. To make your band's album cover, do the following:1 - To get the name of your band, go to Wikipedia and hit “random” or click here. The first random Wikipedia article you get is ...
Water Nymph
So I'm listening to Katy Perry and then I look her up on Wikipedia and find out that a "controversy" of hers is that she once posed with a knife and "anti-knife campaigners" criticized her. Anti-knife campaigners? What the...?Oh dear Lord. It's a British thing again. At least it's not as ...
Furious Sound
Back in the early 70's I would try to listen to this thing called the King Biscuit Flower Hour on my little clock radio in my room at night. The live performances, as I recall, by and large sounded like dog butt. In my recollection they were all bad. Basically the mixes ...

Letterhead
I don't have letterhead. I have business cards, just not letterhead. I just realized this when I had to come up with a lab access letter.We have almost all the documents in place to go to the distributor. There's something on the order of a hundred pages of hard copy ...
Cats in Space
Our own Brian O'Neil has a writeup in the Wall Street Journal "Taking a Career Cue from Hollywood".You know, if we can make a comic book movie, we could do a Green Hornet mockbuster. The Red Bee? The Black Wasp? Something... (Thanks to Bill Cunningham.)QOTD -- "Any TV you buy ...
