Fathers Day Fun
I hope all the Fathers out there had as much fun as I did on Fathers Day.
My 2 teenagers pitched in a bought me a Mahalo White Flying V Ukulele. I had been looking at the Ukulele as a potential new instrument since seeing the Jake Shimabukuro video of him playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps. If you have not seen it, check it out.
The kids gave me the Uke on Saturday so I could have fun all weekend, and that is exactly what I did.
What really impressed me was how much stuff is on the web for the Ukulele, [...]

Jimmy Buffett’s Last Chance for Change Concert
Jimmy Buffett threw a free concert Sunday and a Barack Obama rally broke out. However, as political rallies go, this one was low key. Well, except for the now expected rendition of “God Bless America.” Bunting was non-existent. There was only a single stage banner, and the candidate for president made only a short taped speech. Yet, more members of the estimated 20,000 sported shirts that mentioned “Change” than featured colorful parrots and palms. In every section, it was easy to spot the
Yo-Yo Ma is Funny, Not Bad at the Cello
I had only known of Yo-Yo Ma as the famed cellist and for his helming of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" soundtrack which I use as a cheap alternative to Ambien on restless nights. But did you know that he's funny enough to make Stephen Colbert break character and crack up? And with a phallic joke, no less? Check out the video of his October 27 interview on the Colbert Report where he held his own against everyone's favorite faux conservative. The Paris-born, New York-raised Chin

An election we can all rally around
Confession. I’ve been addicted lately to the Web site www.270towin.com/simulation, which predicts the upcoming presidential election based on the most recent state-by-state polling data. Every time you refresh the site it simulates a different result, with states quickly turning blue or red as the bar at the bottom of the page moves toward the magic number of 270 electoral votes needed to win. Each simulation takes about 10 seconds — or just enough time to drive yourself crazy if the results a

Bill's life: Tiptoeing Through the Uke-lyptus
Tiptoeing Through the Uke-lyptus posted Wednesday, August 27, 2008 1:21:00 PM by Bill My family spent most of last week camping with several dozen fellow homeschooling families. As you might expect these are all special people, smart and funny and every one of them outrageously talented, often in multiple intimidating ways. One common thread was music. Several times I sat listening to campfire singalongs with a dozen or so musicians playing a variety of stringed instruments (and a flute or

Strobe Flashes of Fest
Rather than forcing things into a narrative, I figured I'd just blog some glimpses of Fest.I always stress out over getting a good space for our campsite, but things work out every time. But the uncertainty leading up to it—the drive to Schwenksville, the weird parking situation, the run to an empty spot in the field—they take their toll on poor little me.
