This is a quick example of Preppermint. Not sure what that means? Then find out.

We try again Monday. It looks like we are ready to go tomorrow.  We froze the code and were ready for launch today, but we forgot to setup the database on the production server, so that was today. 

Tomorrow (Sunday) we should be ready to kick off the Alpha.  I've gotten a few emails from interested parties and I will send you more info when we're up.  We'll have to create your login and password ourselves as the user profile stuff isn't ready yet - but the cool stuff should be. 

I want to reiterate that this is an Alpha release - so stuff will be broken.  Mostly stuff we haven't gotten to yet.  It's tough to do this when your full-time job and your partner's full-time job make it so you can only meet on weekends.  Throw in Playoff football and you can see how nothing gets accomplished.

For long-term readers of the site, you may recognize the name Kevork.  Back when I worked on the the Rocky Allen Showgram in it's first go-round in afternoons at WPLJ in New York, Kevork was the man-on-the-street and the holder of the chair that I some day wanted to sit in.  Eventually, I kinda did, but in Detroit.  You can hear some examples of my street stuff and bits in my audio section.

Well, Kevork disappeared for awhile, we think to France, and no one heard from him.  Which was funny, because this page of a Kevork hobby on my old site (sort of broken, but still viewable) ended up being the second search result on google for George Guldalian, his real name. 

Where is he now? On the Food Network, Wednesday January 11th at 10PM...

No, I'm not dead.  I'm actually in the final stages of something else I've been working on. Well, more like the final stages of the pre-beginning.  But with a little luck, I'll have a link to it in about two weeks.  I think it's gonna be pretty damn cool, but nowhere as cool as Pandora.

Do you like music? 

1. No. -- Then you're dead.  Sorry about that.
2. Yes. -- Then you have to check out Pandora.com.
   

If you don't know what the Musical Genome Project is about, then check out this NPR story.  Then go to Pandora.com and enter a few of your favorite bands.  Then sit back as the player starts suggesting music you might like.  And not just links to buy them, but you get to hear the actual songs streaming on your computer.

Many people have wondered what the Speed Limit 17 sign to your left means.  I'm guessing some haven't even noticed.

If you look under the menu to the menu of the page on my 2005 design (I'll probably change it again after awhile -- I also didn't get to make my site all Christmas-y, which is a shame.  Hopefully as my free time expands in the next six months, I'll create themes for all different parts of the year.) -- you'll see a "SPEED LIMIT 17" sign.  Many people think that I faked it, but it is a real picture that I took from the passenger seat of my 2001 Nissan Altima as Amber and I drove across the country. You can view the original as proof.
