Lots of katydids around. Here’s one on the window of my car. I like how the reflections make it look like I’m growing a garden on the floorboards.
Maplewood Summer Music
July 16th, 2010 | 0 Comments | Music |
This Sunday at 6:30 we’ll be doing an outdoor concert in Maplewood, NJ’s Memorial Park Amphitheater.
The music starts off with the Maplewood Community Band, yours truly Musical Director, followed by “Bones Unlimited,” a trombone quartet, and finally dancing on the lawn to Swing Town. And it’s free: bring a blank or chairs, a picnic lunch…

матрациRemembering what a horror show it was to upgrade Movable Type at the job — and only for a 4.x to 4.x+1 release — I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from WordPress 2.9.2 to 3.0. After carefully backing up everything, including all my files and the database, pushing the “Upgrade Now” button, holding my [...]
Lies, and Damn Lies

With statistics. If you’re like me you’re immediately suspicious of anything Fox News puts up. Like the old joke goes, “hello, he lied.” I’m going to try here to explain what techniques they’re using in a graphic they’re using on unemployment to gull their already gullible viewers into believing something that just isn’t true.
