The new Wilco record is streaming for free at the band’s official site (www.wilcoworld.net), so I thought I’d blog my early impressions. To be fair, “first” impressions in the title is a slight exaggeration; this is technically my third listen that I’m writing about. (And in the interest of full disclosure: I’m notorious for disliking…
Kindling
Timely Persuasion is now available on the Amazon Kindle for the low price of $1.99. (I figure if you shelled out $359 for a Kindle you like to read and deserve cheap content.) Don’t have a Kindle? Kindle books can also be read on the iPhone & iPod Touch. No new bonus lyrical references this…
141 Parentheticals
(Me, myself, and I actually, but what’s the difference?) (Thank god their union never resulted in kids!) (Or knowing I wouldn’t see them but hoping better?) (I realize now that just because he was old wouldn’t necessarily mean he was handicapped, but that was the first thought that came to mind at the time. Ageism…

Leap Back Convention Recap
Last weekend I attended The Leap Back 20th Anniversary Quantum Leap Convention. Having never been to any type of fan convention before I didn’t really know what to expect.

But that’s going to change this weekend. As my Twitter trial by fire, I’m going to post periodic thoughts and…
20 Albums
Cross-posting this from Facebook since it seemed to have some relevance here. Props to Scott Schnaars for inviting me to participate. Think of 20 albums that had such a profound effect on you that they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days,…
“There is no time travel” on LOST
With Season 5 firmly entrenched as “the time travel season” of LOST, I keep seeing reference to an old interview where the show’s producers said “there is no time travel” on the show. People end up calling them liars and claim we can’t trust any hints they give regarding what may or may not be…
One Year Later
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the release of Timely Persuasion. (Technically it was released on February 29th, so this pseudo anniversary date will have to do until 2012.) Crazy how time flies. Some stats from year one: 24,414 Pageviews from 110 countries 4,116 readers of the online edition 75 blog posts 29 online…
Musically Challenged…Again
