Hey Boston-area Buffistae.
If you're heading to the Bazaar Bizarre today at the Cyclorama in the South End, I'll be performing 20 minute sets of theremin carols & punk/new wave tunes at 2:00, 3:20 and 5:40.
Looking ahead, I'll also be playing at First Night on the steps of the Boston Public Library! The art school new wave band U.V. Protection are playing a couple of sets from 10pm to Midnight and I'll be providing between set entertainment, as well as playing a little bit with them.
There's a lot of poetry-world buzz about my essay, Serving Neither Master: Notes Toward A New Poetry, published on GotPoetry.com. Now, it seems I'm embroiled in a fight to get it published in print (which is so not the way this is usually done.)
So ... yeah ... I know Lit Critique isn't to everyone's taste, but if you've got a second, give it a look.
Latest Grist Post is up. This one deals with how the U.S. could get up to 95% of it's electricity from wind - reliably and fairly inexpensively.
Apple selling refurbished iPods as low as $99 (20 gb), with free shipping before Christmas if bought today.
The High Hat's Top Ten 2006 Supplement is up!

Calling all New Year's Resolutionaries!
I’m hoping to find someone (or several someones) to be a kind of study partner – I’m trying to do an online course (one of the actuarial exams) and I hate it and it's kicking my ass.
I thought it might be helpful to partner up with someone who’s also trying to stick to working on something so we could check in with and encourage each other.
So if you’re trying to write a book, or exercise regularly, or finish a thesis or, say, complete a crappily designed and boring online course (totally random example there) and would like to get and give some support, please send an email to my profile address.
I need some help and I figure I might as well be useful to someone else while I'm at it.
I've posted information in the F2F thread about proposed Atlanta hotel. Ginger "F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos." Jan 10, 2007 2:00:30 pm PST
We're trying to figure out our options for the F2F. Please answer this Buffista F2F Poll, by noon Saturday, and the earlier the better.
Be gentle. It's my first poll.
Yes, folks, it's another poll!
Checking four available F2F weekends in Atlanta.
DCistas and other interested parties...a bunch of my closest friends from the Great Peace March (yes, we walked from LA to DC 20 years ago...) are meeting up at Eastern Market on Jan 27 for the big No More War march.
If you'd like to join up with us, ping my profile addy for coordinates.
