Mike just let me know that he has a new blog called Code Bread, “Mostly just because I wanted to have a ‘Bread Alert!’ tag.” Since his geeky humor is only outclassed by his breadmaking skills, I think it’ll be a winner.
Be sure to check out the first recipe, Mushroom Garlic Bread. Oh yeah!
I’m hoping to give Global Spin a bit of a refresh over the next [mumble mumble time period], so don’t be alarmed if you see sudden changes or other odd behavior. For those who are interested in such things, I’ll be:
…but not necessarily in that order. I’ll post another update when some or all of it is finished and ready to be praised.
By way of Jaime:
A dear friend of mine has just entered a contest called “The Search for the Next Public Radio Star.” I realize this is a bit of an oxymoron, but suffice it to say that there is definitely a subculture (of which I am a member) in which working on public radio makes you a star. The contest involves an online version of a ‘demo tape’ to display the entrant’s humor, professionalism, and on-air talent. Jenny’s entry takes us to the rodeo, for one of the most dangerous contests this side of the neighborhood jungle gym. Please take a listen and vote big for Jenny Weddel, America’s Next Public Radio Star:
The danger. The cowboys. The glitter. We all have an idea of what a rodeo entails. But there’s a little-known rodeo event filled with chaos, tears, and mud on the face.
This will make you laugh, then laugh some more, then cry because you miss Clinton so much: Bill Clinton’s Last Days. It’s online video, but so very worth watching.
Oh how I miss a president capable of this kind of humor. “I wanna buy smoked ham.”
As you all know, Kerrigan is having her book Legacy published on May 18, 2007. Yesterday, our ten copies arrived and I thought y’all might want to get a first look:
This would be the front cover in the vineyard outside my office at about 6:00 am this morning (isn’t it beautiful?!?).
Here are the side and back views.
Look, you can even open it! It’s so strange to see it on a printed page rather than a computer screen.
Anyway, Legacy will be available soon! If you’d like to see Kerrigan at a book store near you, jump over here and demand it!
