First is an advance review of my upcoming book Beards of our Forefathers, which a lucky contest winner will receive the very first copy of.

Second is a trailer for the film that my friend Mike Mohan is making; I didn’t edit this trailer, but I am quite looking forward to the film!

So I have a Twitter now. So far I’ve only used it for cracking wise and occasionally complaining about junk, but as far as I can tell that’s what it’s for, so there you go.

Bringing joy to your fellow suffering students can be your good deed for the term — I’d award you extra credit if I could. (Remember to snip the pull-off tabs with scissors in the grand guitar-lessons-flyer tradition!)

you can also send me pictures or put them on facebook if you like
