Many (most?) people post updates to multiple Social Networks. Rather than hand-picking which networks get which updates, most of the multi-network types (nearly all?) post the identical update to all networks, simultaneously, automatically. There are many ways to do that, including services specifically meant to accomplish that (Ping.fm, FriendFeed, etc.), or multi-protocol clients (Seesmic, TweetDeck, [...]

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at The Public Theater
I am about to be pretty harsh in my review of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson which we saw last night at The Public Theater. If you’re a fan of the show, you might want to turn away now. If you don’t like reading anything critical of anything or anybody, turn away now. I will only [...]
Lost and Found Karma
In 2000, my most trusted device was my Blackberry. This was before Blackberrys were also cell phones. This was only an email device. It was perfect for my needs, and I loved it. I went on a trip to San Francisco and I knew before I left that my belt clip was very loose. I [...]
Girlyman at Southern Cafe
Another night, another Girlyman concert. This one was in Charlottesville, at the relatively new The Southern Cafe. This used to be Gravity Lounge. It changed hands and was gutted on the inside. Last night was the final show in the current East Coast tour for Girlyman. I can only imagine how exhausted they were. Thankfully, [...]
NginX and WordPress OpenID Plugin
I normally have super powers when it comes to persevering through annoying technical problems. On rare occasions, Kryptonite appears out of nowhere and strips me of those powers. This blog is powered by WordPress.org software. I use a variety of plugins to make my life a bit easier. One of my favorites is the OpenID [...]
Girlyman at Birchmere
Last night was our 13th time seeing Girlyman live. The last time we saw them was the only time we took no guests. Last night, we set a new record (previously 19 at Highline Ballroom). Including us, we purchased 26 tickets for last night’s show. Two of our expected guests missed their flight in Chicago, [...]
Phony Political Arguments
I already regret starting this post. If I said everything I feel like saying, I’d be typing for a few days… Background I am sick of both parties, and 95% of all politicians. I voted for John McCain (in principle only, since I understand that my vote in NY for a Republican Presidential candidate is [...]
CMA Writers Series at Joe’s Pub
Last night was our 10th show in the CMA Songwriters Series at Joe’s Pub. It won’t be our last. Last night’s show was awesome, among the best we’ve seen. There were only four performers last night (which has happened before, typically there are five), but there were five people on stage (I’ll explain shortly). Doing [...]
Yonder Mountain String Band at Tarrytown Music Hall
We live near Tarrytown Music Hall and we’ve been to six shows there since we discovered it (we were very late to the party). We are on the mailing list, so we get notifications of upcoming shows. A couple of months ago I noticed that Yonder Mountain String Band (YMSB) would be playing there (last [...]
