That’s the Dumbest Thing I Ever Heard, originally uploaded by cogdogblog. Pardon me if I don’t blog about Twitter. I’ve had more fun with it than any other web application in ages, certainly since the glory days of YouTube (back … Continue reading

Let them scream for cake
A father-son milestone — our first airplay on WFMU. Last week Kenny G. (featured in my recent WFMU marathon plug) challenged listeners to submit their covers and remixes of Todd Colby’s Cake (MP3 1.3 MB), a long-time staple of his … Continue reading

Coolest fundraising imaginable
