Who Is Imogen Gray? - A Leap Year Day Mystery

Update: I'm not sure if I just completely missed the boat or if something has changed, but the name on the email is Imogen Reed, not Imogen Gray. Weird. There is, of course, an easy way to answer that question. It involves replying to an email. There is also a hard way. I'm choosing the latter, due to my desire to fill some space and amuse myself. I received an email today from someone calling themselves Imogen Gray. First off, nice name. With a name like that, you have to become a writer, a porn star, the editor of an underground blog about your favorite aboveground parking lot band (it's like a garage band, only you've probably never heard of it because you're old), or take on an alter-ego as a supervillain intent on destroying the world. Note: I'm going to refer to this person as a woman in the rest of this piece because it gets all awkward otherwise. Here's the text of the email from imogen@linegray.com, with the subject "Professional C

Some long overdue Kijiji Action

Update 11/24/11 6:30PM: I'm over 100K hits! Man, that is insane. I was sent this link of some guys doing a charity fundraiser who were reading my ad online. I can't believe the number of people that have responded... Feeling pretty awesome right about now! Update 11/24/11 7:04AM: I have a lot of email. Hooooboy, have I got email. And over 30,000 hits on the ad! On the downside, I have to go to work. On the upside, the new snow plow guy came and I don't have to shovel anything! Huzzah! Update 11:32PM : So I've stayed up waaaaay too late replying to emails and generally riding the viral wave that my ad has become. I'm over 8600 views (really wish Kijiji would update more often...), and I'm getting emails from as far away as Sydney, Australia. The emails are still coming in, though not as fast and furious as they were earlier this evening. I'm up to two offers on the snowblower so far, but neither was where I was hoping it would be. Ma

My Newest Project - Yeah But What Else

Last month, I started a new project with a good friend. The story behind the website is simple. I'd been playing with a question about music: what if one hit wonders actually had some music that was great, but was overshadowed by the success of their one hit? What if they were actually ahead of their time, and looking back at their music from the future we'd see that genius? Scott is one of the biggest music-ophiles (totally a word, trust me) I know, and when we were pitching ideas about doing something creative together it stuck. And thus was born yeahbutwhatelse . Every Friday we've been posting a review where we go back and listen to the full album from a One Hit Wonder (OHW), where we listen to every song except the hit. Sometimes there are songs we both liked. Sometimes neither of us liked the same songs. And sometimes it's very hard to find something to love. We love the attention and the feedback, so please check it out and leave a comment. It can only help us
