Website Update

Hey All,
This was a pretty wacky week (even for me). My day-job PC got infected with a virus along with five others in the building. This allowed me to inadvertently prove that working from home is doable. Just about everything I do is done thru a web connection. So I could be anywhere in the world and work. More relaxed, I'm more productive. Now to see if I can make this stick.

In the meantime, on with the update. Don't forget the Hoboken Music Awards are tomorrow night, April 25th at the Goldhawk (936 Park Ave, Hoboken). To vote (for me … wink, wink) go to myspace.com/hobokenmusicawards

Music:
- Boo Reiners is Looking for Stolen Gear
Local musician needs your help. Stolen from his car in Union City, NJ. There's a reward for info leading to the return of this gear.

- Global Fund for Women Benefit
On April 9, we gathered for a good cause. This was an amazing night filled with great music and fun for a really important cause.

- My Hoboken Music Award Nomination
Imagine my surprise and delight! I am truly humbled and honored to have been nominated for an HMA!

Business:
- Fail Page Fail
HootSuite.com tries to tell us about a failure. In creating this clever little list of possible causes of their site's failure, they failed.

Environment:
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Raise
Easy changes that can change the world. Happy Earth Day! Reduce, reuse, recycle, raise (I've added a fourth). Simple ways to make a difference.

Highlights from a great night at Maxwell's.

Spam Poetry:
- Subject: message
The Spam Poetry Project. For some reason, our spam poet called this one Riddle of the Day. See if you can figure it out. I can't.

- What is Spam Poetry?
It's not an homage to cans of mystery meat. It's those wonderfully beat sounding words that can be found hidden in useless email messages.
