Avatar Updates
Off to the left of this here Blog, you'll find two new widgets that direct you to content on Twitter. Yes, I've finally joined the club. As it turns out, I had no real idea what Twitter was, or how it worked, and my vision of it involved kids 15 and under using it. More specifically, I misunderstood the function entirely. I knew people made posts, but I had a hard time wrapping my brain around why that was a big deal. Somehow, I had gotten the impression that there was more to it. When I signed up for an account, and started poking around, I realized it was like Facebook, only stripped down to a short Status Update. Now it makes a lot more sense.
Point being, I've actually gotten quite into using Twitter, and it has sort of become my new creative outlet at a time when I can't really invest more than a few minutes at a time. Plus, it has given me an opportunity to promote my radio going-ons, and remain quite entertained by reading a variety of other users. One revelation that I've been shocked by: the average age of Twitter users. This is a much older crowd of Inter-Web-A-Tron users, and there is a decidedly different tone and flavor to the content than I initially suspected. I entirely rescind every Twitter joke I've ever made. (Though, to be fair, I have defended it a fair amount, too.)
I do recommend looking at the KPSU search I added as a widget to the right. It gives you an overview of everything KPSU related that gets posted to Twitter. Also, check out #justgotonthebus and #bandideas, two tags I'm trying to start, as they are both things I think about quite a bit anyway. This will not replace blogging, writing, or radio in terms of things I love to do. But it is a good way to stay creative while I'm wrapping up things for my Undergraduate degree, which eats up far too much of my time.
Lastly: I will be slowly moving away from using Facebook, until I reach the point where it will be entirely for Radio / Art posts. Not only have I had a long-time love/hate relationship with FB anyway, I have come to terms with the fact that it just isn't my style. The recent hack to my account (partially my own fault) helped me realize that I just don't want to put the time into it. Everyone has to grow up sooner or later, and FB will mostly likely wind up like MySpace too, once there's something newer and hotter. So, time to start moving away from it.
I'll still be here, and in all the other usual places. And who knows, perhaps there is something else even more exciting just around the next bend. That's a guaran-tease.

New Updates
I just went through and cleaned house in terms of this site.
If you look to the right, under "A Sound Salvation," you'll find current, updated links for Blasphuphmus Radio on the new and improved kpsu.org. Sadly, the old links will not be updated, or maintained, and won't go anywhere in the near future. So it goes.
I should also point out that there are fewer links at this time. KPSU does not yet have RSS feeds for podcasts and other consistently-updated content, so those links do not yet exist. If you follow the link for the show, you'll find download links for all the episodes, info about the show, and a list of recent playlists. If you follow the link for me, you'll find a short bio, and another listing for both playlists and blog posts. As things change, get added, or updated, I'll post more info here.
In terms of the "Podcasts & Radio" and "Offsite" links, I eliminated many of them. A number of the shows and blogs have either been canceled, stopped posting new content over a year ago, or otherwise disappeared somehow. I eliminated about half the links that no longer work. Of course, things do fall through the cracks now and then, and I'm always on the lookout for new content and whatnot lot read and / or listen to, so send your links this way. I would appreciate it.
More changes on the way. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.

Old Is New... Again
A recent familial rendezvous allowed me to meet up with my brother Kyle, who was storing the data to my old Blog that he used to host. Due to the wonders of modern technology, he was not only able to hook me up with copies of the data, but a means of accessing it in an easy-to-read way. Let's hear it for the wonder of computing!
What does that mean? Well, I will occasionally be adding new-old blog entries to this site, like this one, itself part of the new-old paradigm: it's a post about a 'zine I used to offer in the olden-days, that is now available again... or at least, was, until the old blog, which explained as much, became hosed.
Confused? Well, don't be. Just remember that, from time to time, some old content will occasionally resurface, and I'll probably draw attention to it. You can rest assured that it will only be the best of the best... or, at least, whatever is still readable all these years later.
My what a tangled web I weave...

Winter Fashion
I'm trying a new look for ye ol' blog this winter, and I wanted to get your input. I have to confess: my love of design and the visual pleasures in the world have, unfortunately, failed to instill in me some sort of intuitive understanding of how to achieve similar effects. I have a real blindspot when it comes to how you construct something in a visually interesting way; I just knows it when I sees it.
Anyway, comments and suggestions of the design of this here textual oddity would be most appreciated. If any of you happen to be considerate web designers who might be interested in doing a little outside work, let's barter. It's the spirit of the times, my friends!
If anyone wanted to tackle a new design for the logo, I would be so kind as to reward you with some as-yet-disclosed prize, which will probably turn out to be something from the treasure trove of records that I have squirlled away in my basement. Can you say Grand Funk Railroad, Live?
