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 ...

Toilet Training the Cat: Week 2

The demand for follow up on the situation with toilet training the cat has been unprecedented. Literally, some of you asked me how it was going. Strangers Co-workers People who are friendly with me at the office sought me out just to find out asked about it while waiting for the microwave. It's been a whirlwind, taking me back to the days when snowblowers were all the rage. I have been looking into public relations firms to handle the inevitable media coverage. The question that you're all asking: "Was this week toilet training your cat better than last?" Me explaining to my wife how things are going. Look, toilet training your cat isn't something that's going to happen overnight. or over a week. Or even two weeks (apparently). Rome wasn't built in a day and it was founded by twin brothers raised by a wolf so you can only imagine what the toilet training situation was like there. The experience so far was not an overwhelming s...

Spirit-ed Away

Went to the movies for the first time in ages, and saw "Spirit Untamed". For those of you who may be unfamiliar, this is a movie based on a Netflix show "Spirit Riding Free". This, in turn, is based on a movie "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" (which positively rolls off the tongue). But not actually. The show is based on a single character from the original movie. But not really. The titular character is Spirit, a wild horse in the Old West, and these are the stories of his adventures. But, again, not so much. Only the first movie is actually about the horse and his adventures. The show and the new movie include Spirit, but more as a supporting character for the real hero, a young girl named Lucky. She and Lucky have lots of adventures together and learn important lessons. Or, stay with me, do they? Lucky, at the very least, grows as a character. We can't really be sure what the deal is with Spirit. He's the narrator of the first film, voiced...
