I want a quickie posting theme like Strongbad’s rap about answerin’ the emails.

• Wow. This a capella cover of TMBG’s “Particle Man” I just heard on Coverville by The Bobs absolutely rocks.

• And then, I realize that I’ve heard The Bobs before. In particular, it was from when I used to listen to the Dr. Demento Show and heard their song “My, I’m Large“. Now, that takes me back.

• Got a comment from Mark Eichin that reminded me I forgot to link to something I posted a few years ago: Perceptible interface + laziness threshold = weblog silence

• I just helped my friend Erik (aka We3bus) get The Biofeedback Blog up and running for his company with WordPress 1.5–I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with it. It was a gigantic pain in the ass, since we ran into problems with damn near every component of the setup, from MySQL to IIS to WordPress itself. Granted, this is a bit of a non-typical install, but damn… Anyway, check them out.

• A comment from Jason Clark makes me think a little more about ideas I’ve had about customized feeds to offer here for the next refresh. I’ve gotten on a run posting political links because, well, I’ve got some very definite opinions about our current situation–but you might not care about that. Was thinking that I might offer a mix-your-own-feed form where you can pick and choose from kinds of posts and tags I’ll be using. The proper place for this is in the aggregator, but it could be a fun project for the book.
