Margie and Vin’s new website
Michael and I gave his parents, Margie and Vin Femia, Margie and Vin.com for their 30th wedding anniversary this year. Vin started to post to their weblog last week. He's been a frequent commenter on Michael's website and now he has his own site to post his witty comments, sports commentary, etc. Fun!

Rare books for sale
I'm selling three books on eBay that Michael acquired in the past six months. He definately has book finding superpowers.
"The Big U" by Neil Stephenson :: This is the first book he wrote. It is presumably a parody of Boston University. From what I've read, he is not all that fond of this book and ...

The grand opening of Mikhaela’s Cartoon Depot
Boston cartoonist Mikhaela Reid has opened up an online shop at Cafepress.com to sell her cartoons and other merchandise. For a mere $5.99 you can own your own Wartime ABC's Mini Poster Print!
I think that Jen (writer) and Mikhaela (cartoonist) should conspire on a project. They've got a similiar style: lots of ...

Rain On Days
If today had a theme song it would be "Rain On Days", a song that Rose Polenzani recorded for/with Zoe Ardito. I'm not sure how old Zoe was when they recorded the songs (with lyrics created on the fly by Zoe) -- maybe five or six years old. Rose has a section of ...

My mom and the Rock & Roll Library
My mom (Mary Kay Kaup) died of a heart attack on March 20, 2003. I haven't gone into a lot of the personal details of what I've been going through because I guess I didn't know what sort of line I might cross with oversharing personal details on this website. So, despite how ...

I’m not the only one in love with the Nokia 6800
When I was poking around my web stats this morning I noticed that Eric Snowdeal linked to my entry about the too cool for school Nokia 6800 phone. He's a fan, too. Eric mentioned that I work for Nokia yet I have a Sanyo phone. That's true. But I also have ...

Website ping public service announcement
More (*) people (*) should ping weblogs.com so their site has a little asterisk next to their name on my "daily visits" list over on the right. I do a much better job of keeping up with the people who ping. So, that's today's PSA.

Evan Dando!
Evan Dando (singer from the Lemonheads) has a new album out on Bar None Records. I've listened to about half of it (so far) via his website and so far so good. He was on a sort of seven-year haitus from the music world after the Lemonheads released their last album. His new release ...

Happy Birthday, Michael!
Visit Michael's website and send him your birthday wishes. And you'll probably want to wander around his site, too, since it's overflowing with great articles, rants, movie reviews, etc.
