You just have to realize how busy life can get. Besides, we already have another web project that takes up any free time we have. I can't just spend all my time bullshittin' about going to the ___ or the ___. There's life to live, and life waits for no one. Life just keeps moving. So you better move your ass, too, or life will move on past you, and the next thing you know you're thinking of diving off cliffs and stuff--and not into the water.

No, this is not a cry for help. Help is beyond. We're already in the thick of it--we're in, we've gone way up the river, there's no turning back now--and we're strong and certain and going to do our best, even if it kills us. You may not hear from us for awhile, but we may check in now and again. Keep listening to the music, since that seems to be our focus at the moment (when it comes to free time). And yes, check back here--even as I type this, I realize how fun it is to blog here. So check back from time to time. And email, or comment (click the link below).

Yesterday I spent most of the day producing the remix I made of Dave Winer's podcast. Why I spent so much time working on this, when I could have been doing so many other things, is beyond me; I do things like this when I'm inspired. And I have to say I was inspired by Dave's singing of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, a song I've always enjoyed and of which Dave has hinted as being anthemic for software development. In any case, I had fun creating the remix.

Dave was trying to relate a passage of the song in which Arlo Guthrie rouses up the audience to sing the song. So, for your listening enjoyment, I now provide the part of the song Dave was talking about. Keep in mind that this song was performed sometime during the 60's - an era my parents once summed up for me as turbulent. Arlo helped folks laugh their way through the era.

I don't know what to put here.

I once posted, in this space (this right column), the following:

If I had friends they would be listed here

That particular bit o' text, that silly and idiotic phrase, was repeated a dozen or two dozen or so times and was intended to be temporary. I had been working on a project -- a new layout for this blog -- and had intended for that text to be placeholder content. That is, the text was supposed to temporarily replace the content that had previously occupied this column (which was a list of links to friends -- that is, other blogs and web sites I linked to). I didn't know what content I was going to place into that (this) space, so I placed a bunch of duplicate phrases here as a placeholder so that I would remember to fill in this space again later.

At the same time, I thought I was being cute with the heading:

NEW & IMPROVED FRIENDS!

The fact remains: I still don't know what content to put here, in this column. Links again? Pictures? Video? Audio? Ads? Oh, hell no! It hasn't come to me yet, but I'm sure it will eventually, and when it does it'll come quick and (as usual) with consequences.
