I heard through the grapevine that this site got a mention on NPR. Hello radio listeners! (and thanks ev.) This is a blog.

I went to see Aimee Mann and Michael Penn last night. She walked out on stage and performed a song. It was nice. Then Lane Becker walked on stage and sang a lovely beatle-esque tune. "How funny," I thought, "I didn't know Lane could sing." It sounded eerily like Michael Penn. Then it slowly dawned on me that this was in fact Michael Penn. During a break between songs I leaned over and whispered to Meg, "If you were to say that Micahel Penn looks like a web celebrity, who would you say that is?" Meg answered, "Lane Becker." Ev, upon overhearing our conversation said, "You're the third person to independently mention that tonight." What if Michael Penn was sick of performing and wanted to start a kick ass web company? What if Lane was romeo in black jeans? It's no myth. Then I ordered another drink.

It's official! Derek has commited to the adventure. ;) Rock-n-roll.

Simpsons quote of the day. Captain McAllister: "Arrr, squiddy, I got nothin' against ya, I just heard there was gold in yer belly."

ev hints at some Pyra related announcements coming up. They're big, yes. But I'd like to add that they're also good! (I work in the build buzz department too.)

hehe. I almost went with this background. get down, get down.

shew! the sub-pages are pretty much done. for now. Someday it will *all* be XMLized and I won't have to do any work to change the design. This weblog was the easiest part.

This page has a new look! I'm still tweaking/optimizing, and I haven't done the sub-pages yet. But I wanted to change this front page. I was tired of the old one.

Simpsons quote of the day. Jebediah: "Who will come and live a life devoted to chastity, abstinence, and a flavorless mush I call rootmarm?"

I'm not the only one who noticed. feel the web love.
