Just call me Norm Abram (just kidding, don't - I don't even know who that is). Rachel and I updated our downstairs bathroom this weekend, and while it wasn't quite bad enough to be a feature on "Renovation Realities," it wasn't without its snags. Who'da thunk figuring out the myriad different ways hinges could go on would be so difficult? Good thing they're cheap.
And now, for your viewing pleasure...
My good buddy Ed Hadley of Quoins fame, and former drummer for the best band Providence College has ever seen, inquired about our band's demo tracks from college.
For anyone and all to enjoy, they are posted below. Unfortunately we didn't record Genny, about a promiscuous little can of beer... something I always regret.

That's a line from a song (by The Rockett Band) I was singing to myself when I made a really good decision back in my undergrad and was feeling really good about it.
I'm feeling really good about stuff now. Things are shaping up! I have finally completed my Master's Degree at Appalachian, and I've got a bunch of contracts in the works for Redfin! Life is good, and today I'm chillin' in Vermont since we're headed out today to look at Wedding Venues! So exciting.
After much anticipation (yeah, right) - Redfin Solutions has its own blog up! It took some time, since it's always easier to work on what you can bill rather than what doesn't necessarily bring in money directly, but we've got it!
Patrick has taken to using it more frequently than I (ok, he puts me to shame, I admit it), but I am particularly happy to announce my recent post!
I've got a module contributed today (still in early development stages) that integrates with the dotgo service (http://dotgo.com) which opens the path for any Drupal site to be interacted with via SMS!
As promised, I told you I'd share with you a little bit about my initial process and collection phase. I've been with the GTD system for a few weeks now, and I'm beginning to flesh out some more things as I go. Lifehacker recently asked its users How Have You Modified the GTD System to Fit Your Needs? and I have popped my head in to look and throw in some comments.
But I digest... (<= name that allusion)
Thanks to Jonathan Coulton, I heard about this Israeli guy who's been cobbling together bits and pieces of YouTube videos (which comprises his entire library of material, just YouTube) to make new songs/videos out of it. His name is Kutiman, and I can only imagine the amount of hours that went into creating these "mashups."
Thank you, David Allen. I mean that. Thank you.
Life stresses people out sometimes, and I'll tell you why (well, one reason anyway)--because stuff comes at you so fast and even randomly sometimes that you feel like Keanu Reeves in the Matrix trying to dodge bullets. Except, of course, it's in real-time not slow motion.
Now that the final schedule's been released, I wanted to revisit the schedule and try to put some hype behind a few of the sessions that are going to be presented at DrupalCon in DC in a few weeks.
In addition to the one I already know I'm going to (thanks for having it twice!), there's a few that I'm most excited about.
A lot of people turn to music when they're in crisis mode, and camp people are no exception. Meg had started a Facebook note where people could post/share their favorite lyrics to camp songs.
Well then, good thing it occurred to me to save all this work when I typed it up like 7 years ago! A lot has probably changed in the years since Bement and I have parted ways because of Bishop Scruton, but these are the songs that were part of the Bement Songbook when I was there (1991-2004).
I saw this pop up on the Drupal News RSS feed, about the upcoming DrupalCon in DC. I will definitely be attending this one, mentioned on emmajane's site: http://emmajane.net/node/895
I fancy myself a decent public speaker -- that is, I enjoy public speaking (which I think is a rarity, and in and of itself probably makes me better than the people who tend to be nervous when speaking publicly). I owe much of that to debating in high school.
