Ned-scapades.

Step one: fill the little box with letters. It's a letter box! Step two, check your work on step one. Step three: press "publish" and watch the blue smoke come out. You are now a "blogger", Charlie! All you need now are decipherable opinions.

Well, here we are at the mill, still waiting for the next episode of our Podcast THIS IS BIG GREEN to roll off the back of a truck. Late again. Must be short on key ingredient this month. Actually, as I pointed out last week, the main ingredient is work on our parts, which is rare indeed. A jem of great price ... that price being the sweat off of our collective brows. Work, work, work ... that's what a podcast is all about. The internet is a slave-driver! Small wonder we chose to outsource its production to some nameless third world country. Working through a social media broker, we have been assured of a good and reliable product, voiced by people who sound exactly like Matt and I, their Indonesian accents just barely detectable ... (Oh, what a giveaway!)

Looking forward to hearing how they handle the Ned Trek episode. This one was a challenge - another musical, no less. There are six ... maybe seven songs included in the script, all brand new production. Those poor folks in Jakarta have their work cut out for them. (And yes, I'm sure you've guessed that our "brokers" are actually our old corporate label, Hegemonic Records and Worm Farm, also known as Hegephonic. They've likely got sweatshops on four continents toiling 24/7 to pump out this episode.)

That's the stuff.What have we been doing with all of our free time? Thought you might want to know. Actually, Matt's been chasing Peregrine falcons around downtown Utica, like the very good fellow he is. (You can check on his efforts - and even contribute to them, if you like - on the Utica Peregrine Falcon site.) My efforts have been of a more pedestrian nature, actually. I spent the last few weeks working on our new Ned Trek site, posting a few episodes extracted from our podcast, and making it look as ridiculous as possible. Here it is, mobile-ready and set to roll: http://www.nedtrek.com

So ... yeah, that happened. What's up with you? Let me know. You know how I worry.
