Update: Oops, I’ll Post It Again

March 13, 2011 | Comment

Once again, a cover song I’ve covered previously in my Got You Covered series has surfaced in video format on YouTube.1 This one’s a high quality, professionally shot piece of film, too (as opposed to a cell-phone-in-the-audience product,2 like most concert videos on YouTube).

That’s correct, Todd, I haven’t posted in awhile — and my, aren’t you a keen observer of detail. Wanna know why? Read the rest of this entry »


The Web Right Now, Illustrated

Excerpted from The State of the Web – Summer 2008, a clever commentary in illustration form by web designer Matthew Inman:

If you don’t get all of the web-geeky references in the picture, you’re not alone (anyone want to fill me in on what the “Rick/Never gonna give you up, etc.” thing is?). I’ll own up to my penchant for Facebook, but I have been cutting way back on the SuperPoking.
