One thing I often say to describe myself to new people is “I take everything very seriously, and not seriously at all.” (That implies that I meet new people frequently enough to say it “often”. Let’s just let it slide.) This video of sad clown Puddles Pity Party singing Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” feels like it evokes that […]

High hopes for my new mic
Finally got what is probably the second-most anticipated and wished-for item I’ve ever bought*, the Blue Yeti USB microphone.

Blast from the past photo: The Old Motorhomestead
