She is, like I now am, self-employed, and called me this afternoon using Skype, which I can already see, a few weeks into my new career, is going to be a problem. Behind her a cat moved, rendered as a set of small animated blocks, like something made of Scrabble tiles. "That green parka," I said. "Let me ask you a question about it."

Mostly I'll be wandering around with a churro in my hand, muttering, but I'll also be on a panel, moderated by Jeffrey Zeldman and featuring Erin Kissane, Lisa Holton, and Mandy Brown. It's called "New Publishing and Web Content" and it's about teaching a meerkat to drive cuddling releasing a super-plague new publishing and web content. I'm working the door.

And I'm back here, like the world's worst ex-boyfriend, to ask for a small favor. I want to ask you to go over to Jeffrey Zeldman's website to read about a panel on which I could, should all go well, appear in March at SXSW, along with some nice people. If you're interested in it go ahead and vote for it.

(Although I'm writing this at 2:36 AM from the office, so not just dayjob.) I tell you because it's fun, and it's free to use.

I listen to episodes of the Jack Benny program on my phone, waiting for Mary Livingstone to laugh. I'm up through 1946.

I'm sure I had been to the Warner Theater before that but I remember this movie because it was not for children, I was six, and there was some negotiation before I was allowed to go. My brother took me. (continued...) http://www.ftrain.com/mediaone.html http://www.ftrain.com/mediaone.html 2008-03-24 ~200 words on restraints at ABriefMessage.com.

The songs are all from bands appearing at SXSW right now and each review links to MP3s so that you might judge the state of contemporary music for yourself. 48 hours of music! Much of it bad! But some good. And charts. (continued...) http://www.ftrain.com/bands-reviewed.html http://www.ftrain.com/bands-reviewed.html
