Anyone else think that the graphic on the New Yorker Web site makes Michael Jackson look like a long-haired Voldemort? Anyone else think that that thought doesn’t merit a Web log post?

07 Jul 2009Craigslist getting all weird again
28 May 2009So apparently now you can sell things without an account again, and I assume if you do have an account it no longer needs to me authenticated by phone. Oh, Newmark. Your ways are mysterious but your ideals remain pure, I have no doubt.
Oh, hello reader
27 May 2009You seem upset. You seemed disturbed. I apologize, for I know the fault is mine. You are valued, dear reader. (Side note: “re dear reader” is almost a palindrome. I’ll be using that as the subject line in all of my future email correspondence, no matter what the context.) I’ve got some wonderful things in [...]
Dick Cheney had Benazir Bhutto killed? Or did he do? Or didn’t he do? Or can’tn’t he have done? (Orpheus Weaponry strong!)

Let me learn you something real quick
05 May 2009Just throwing this out there for you. It’s a paper I wrote about Vo Nguyen Giap, the Vietnamese general. Do with it what you will. Why am I posting it? To learn you a thing or two! And to have the longest Web log post in the history of the planet. Why am I including [...]
I would be remiss not to wish each of you a happy Star Wars Day.
04 May 2009May the 4th be with you.
Desire Under The Elms at the St. James Theatre
04 May 2009I fear that this Web log has taken a distinct turn in a strictly music-oriented direction. Not to say that I don’t enjoy writing about music, because obviously I do, but my intention with The Tin Speaker has never been to create a Web log solely devoted to music. Instead, what I hope to create [...]
