Next time I try to explain to someone that I have a complicated, yet randomly silly sense of humor, I will show them this. And tell them I think it’s hilarious.
Thought I’d finally sit down while I have three seconds to breathe and jot dot a couple of things I wanted to let folks know about:
- I went to SWSXi, and was largely unimpressed. There wasn’t a the sense of forward-thinking that I expected, nor the ground-breaking innovations. The parties were so-so. I had the best time hanging out with grrls from the feminist blogosphere, and with my Hightower co-worker, Laura. Oh, and note to anyone organizing a conference for thousands of geeks: please make sure the wifi actually works at the convention.
- I’m speaking at two conferences coming up here in the near future: Facing Race, here in NYC on Friday; then Women Action Media up in Boston on March 31 & April 1. Guess what I’ll be talking about? That’s right, politics and technology, focusing on social media. YUM.
- Er, I feel like there was more than this. Hrm. I seem to have lost all eight trains of thought. More when I get them back…
My pals Loid and Sabine found this gem while looking for a new kitty…

Remember the funniest press release of all time? The final performance was Thursday night, and I’ve got a bunch of pictures and videos from it… watch as John and Dogbowl discuss Nancy Pelosi, perform some hits, talk about the other musician John Hall (who just got elected to Congress), as well as read from his forthcoming book, “Daily Negations.” (Watch the videos here, after the jump.)

My cousin Mike Zandt and his family have suffered some crazy flooding upstate since last week… this is the shot he sent us. Have a look at some of the other flood photos people have been sending around in my Flickr set.
Oh, in case anyone was wondering — my parents (and, as far as I know, the rest of my family) made out fine with no flooding where they are.
Oh my, my new favorite band ROCKS.
Artsy pictures here. Blurry video here.
Don’t miss their next show, the official debut: Sat., May 20 @ 8pm, Bowery Poetry Club.
One of the guys that hosts this website was at the King Missile show last night, and took the most fantastic pictures. Check out JCN’s Flickr set, and then buzz over to his website chock full of beauties.
