“Pressure Point Massage”

Today local talk radio host [Joe Soucheray][1] got his hair cut by a friend of ours, [Veronica][3]. He discussed it on-air.

[Here is the mp3.][2]
[Here’s the wav file, for those not in this century.][4]

If you have trouble with the mp3 link:

– Mac users, control-click and choose “Open in iTunes”
– PC users, right-click and choose “Save to Disk”

Note to self: It looks like WebStar messes up the mime when serving mp3s. Mimes of the world, revolt!

I got a goat

My mom is cool. For Christmas, she donated a [dairy goat][1] in our name via [Samaritan’s Purse][2]. It will supply milk, butter, and cheese, and the “surplus can be sold to pay for other essentials like medicine and schooling”. Very cool.

The old site is (almost) dead

I’ll be transitioning to this WordPress driven site over the next weeks. You can find the old stuff [here][1]. It will just be a lot easier and more fun to have a simpler interface. Hopefully that means I can post more content and think less about the code. We’ll see. :)
