The family tree’s been bothering me.  I deleted all that crap about being descended from William the Conqueror… I was looking at the dates, and checking some stuff out on the web about that lineage, and I can’t seem to find any that agree with each other!  It all looked so fishy to me that I just got out the pruning shears and deleted everything I could find that was before the year 1500.  An arbitrary number but it’s easy to remember!

UPDATE: Of course I later decided to put it back online, for better or for worse…

Not much going on website-wise this week, I’ve been working on music too much I guess.  Well, I did add a couple of Chicago dates to the gig-alert page, that’s something!

I already outgrew my Yahoo! Photos account, so screw that.  They only give you 25 megs, whereas I have about 3 zipdisks of stuff to upload when I get the time!  How silly of me not to foresee this problem.  So anyway I’m moving all that crap over to Zing, where I can have unlimited space and mostly the same photo-manipulating capabilities that I have on Yahoo.  See my photo gallery page for links to all the proper places.
