I have my old band Nobstreater's Where Are The Wise Men Where Are The Scholars on iTunes Music Store. It should be no big deal, because I paid for it. I feel so warm and fuzzy seeing it there.

My Little Reader
I claim credit for teaching Sophie to read, but the reality is that she took to it like, um, greased lightning or something. She received a placement test when she started kindergarten this year; she's reading at 3rd grade, 2 months level. That's amazing.
More amazing is that she's getting this homework, where she brings home a book and reads it and gets a comprehension test at the end of the week. She keeps passing with 100%.
The best part? It's a computer logon test, and her account is shogboom. I wish that were my nickname in highschool, or something like it. Like "shagboom". It just sounds powerful.

Cosmopolis: Demon-ridden metropolis
Friend, musician, and programmer Ira Merrill pointed me to this particular comic book called Lucifer Fawkes: The Blind Ones.
"Cosmopolis, WA is one of the most demon-ridden metropolises on earth. It even has its own devil walking the sphere of man.
Lucifer Fawkes has been fighting and looking for that devil for some time. His interest is set ablaze when the devil Gooseberry spellbinds the catholic priests that effected his anointment to the Mantle of Keeper over ten years ago.
Now, only one thing stands between Lucifer Fawkes and Mr. Gooseberry: the entire clan of demonic eye-thieves known as The Blind Ones."
