Tom 7 RadarTom 7 RadarWheels-up 2K8!- April 26, 2008 Well, they finally unplugged my complimentary high speed internet in my grad student office. Of course I knew they were going to do that eventually but I was expecting a day's notice or two so that I could set up an alternative host. Oh, well! As you can see I've started moving stuff to a new host and some things are working. This has actually been a hilariously complex adventure, mostly because of the peculiar characteristics of the machine formerly known as spacebar.org. This was a very old...http://radar.spacebar.org/f/a/weblog/comment/1/965 Inverse Mutton-chops!- April 19, 2008 Behold, inverse mutton chops. (Or would you call these reverse sideburns or something) I always wanted to try this, so when there was a 3-week beard contest I decided to go for it. I didn't win, but it got a lot of good feedback. Maybe if there were a category for lengthiest beard This ironic "GQ Cover" glossy is courtesy of Mike. I'm not quite comfortable looking this stupid in person in front of people I don't know; I wore a hat when I was outside today, even though it was like 80°.

I am going to do something moderately stupid to jump-start this dead battery: I'm going to write about one of my own songs. I think that's okay because Song of the Month isn't some kind of award that I bestow so there's no like conflict of interest, and even if I did give awards nobody cares about that and I certainly don't care about awards that I give to myself.

Other than the stealth open mic night we did last monday, this was my first time ever performing with someone else in front of a live audience including people I didn't know. (Most of them were people I did and continue to know (phew). Thank you for coming. Next time I will announce it better.) The concert was rather last minute—we even bought the PA equipment that very...http://radar.spacebar.org/f/a/weblog/comment/1/961 |
