So, I’m going to Mis­sis­sippi right now to deliver my friend and his Vic­trola to visit a wealthy, beau­ti­ful sculp­tor in her Vic­to­rian man­sion. I’ll be back Mon­day I think.

Heypenny, one of my favorite regional tour­ing bands, just released this video. If you haven’t seen them, you should — they are head and shoul­ders above the crowd.

GOOG 411

Impress your friends! neigh­bors! col­leagues! strangers!

1–800-GOOG-411 is my favorite Google prod­uct you’ve never heard of. It’s awe­some… instead of shelling out $1 to Ver­i­zon or AT&T to get 411 infor­ma­tion, Google pro­vides it for free, and con­nects you. It will even send you a text mes­sage with the address and phone num­ber of the busi­ness you’re call­ing about, also for free. I’ve prob­a­bly used it a dozen times, and it’s been accu­rate every time.

Being good at Google has turned into a mar­ketable skill for me. I’m work­ing on some­thing big right now, so stay tuned…

For all you fel­low pol­i­tics junkies out there, I present www.electoral-vote.com. Updates daily with all the lat­est polls, with info on all the Sen­ate and House races out there as well. As you can tell, NC is the only tied state right now — and it has been for a week. I’m addicted to this; it’s one of the first web­sites I check every morning.

We went to see The OBAMA.

Asheville, described by CNN as a ‘lib­eral strong­hold’ really turned out for Obama. The num­bers I’ve heard are in the 28,000 zone. That’s huge for Asheville. Here’s a pic I got from up in the nose­bleed section.

So, now I’m offi­cial con­nected to Blog Asheville. I attended some of the Blog­ger awards that they had behind Bou­chon on Lex­ing­ton Ave. last week, and that was pretty fun. Good beer, good fun, good bands. Neat to be included in a group purely because of our medium and not our message.
