Nothing new from me at the moment, but a few talented friends from Vanderbilt have some projects up on the Web. First is Bradley Metrock, who has released his second album. This time he’s playing relaxing piano music solo; listen to sound samples from Maintain Radio Silence here.
Second is Laurel Staples, who has a new site up to showcase her photography. She’s the one who took the photos of me on the welcome page and my magic promotional site.
And last but not least, a new issue of The Slant.
Jacob Grier is a freelance writer, bartender, cocktail consultant, and magician in Portland, Oregon. He writes, eats, and drinks a lot. His articles have appeared in the print or online editions of The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, Reason, The Oregonian, and other publications.
Hey, Grier, what do you think about this?: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/
I could probably link it into an attack on the myth of the market doing what’s best for humanity, and talk about how collusion between government and business will always bring about short-term solutions instead of long-term planning, but I’m too busy thinking about how I can rise up to tribal chief status after the apocalypse.
I can send you periodic excerpts from my novel if you want to make this a serial…
Jacob – thanks for the mention! Appreciate it.
