A casual ramble which, in the end, amounted to not much more than the value of my time.
From a place ensconced in darkness to some mild revelations... hey, it's summer. Don't expect Ginsberg over here.
I've loved this story ever since I first heard it, mostly because I'm a fan of everyone in it. Also, who knew that Rollins was a King Crimson fan.
Five that you might expect, and five that I thought I'd throw in for good measure.

Just reliving a shiver moment in one of those Tom Waits songs that illuminates me every time I listen.

My abridged session at Podcasters Across Borders in June 2011. I presented early in the morning as evidenced by my wet hair. Embedded below is the Prezi I used for visuals which include all of the video clips I used as examples. If you're confused by the premise, don't worry, so was I. At some point I may try to get the full video and post it myself. Maybe at least the audio anyway. Enjoy!
A rambling ramble of rambleness on how Google Plus leads to progressive rock leads to high school leads to podcasting leads back to social networking and where it's all gone... in the end.
Submitted for your consideration: A story ripped right from high school nostalgia (circa 1985) captured on audio for the first time in front of a live audience. The names of the participants may be different to protect the innocent and the stupid.
Then again, maybe I just made the whole thing up.
