I don't think I would be able to handle this. This site has pictures of a public toilet made out of one-way glass. No one can see in, but you can see everyone around you.

They Might Be Giants put on a great show last night in Columbia. They played several songs from their new album and many of my favorites from the old records. I don't know what else to say about them. They're my favorite band. Best. Concert. Ever.

One of the opening bands was ok but a little annoying and one was very cool.

The first band on was Common Rotation. It was basically just a guy with a guitar and a lead singer. The lead singer had a recurring role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Their songs were fun and they were pretty energetic. Similar artists: They Might Be Giants, Lost and Found and Barenaked Ladies.

opening act was Corn Mo. It wasn't really a band as much as one guy with an accordian. Similar artists: Weird Al and Meat Loaf. Corn Mo was funny for a couple of songs, but he got annoying really fast. I like the accordian, but it sounds better in the context of a band (rock or polka). By itself it just gets on my nerves.

The new album, The Spine, is now available for download directly from the band's website. Support the band and save some money and a trip to your local record store and download it!

Brendan, Sara and I are leaving in just a few minutes for the concert at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. We're going to meet up with Henry and his wife, Meredith. It should be a fun time.

This is a test of an MT client on my pocket pc.

My quest for free stuff has finally reached into higher education. Apparently you can access course material online and for free from Carnegie Mellon and MIT. You don't get real college credit or interaction with professors, but you do get to learn some cool stuff, which is the only reason I would take more classes anyway. I wonder if there are any seminaries doing something like this.

Dan Gillmor has a new book coming out soon called We, the Media. It's about blogging and grassroots journalism and how it's changing things. He plans to make it available for free download under a Creative Commons licence. Once it's up I'll post a link to it. Sounds like a good read to me.

Today is the launch date for the Adrian Christian Church web site. So far the reaction has been pretty positive.

Ex-‘Blue’s Clues’ host reinvented as rocker

Last week I blew a little bubble, then captured it in a bigger bubble. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

With our eyes drooping from severe lack of sleep, Tim, Rob and I pulled into Adrian this morning at 8 am. We all slept for a couple of hours and then they headed out for St. Louis. The trip went really well after we switched to the bigger truck.
