Revenue Magazine’s May/June 2007 issue is out and I’m quoted a few times in the cover story about Web2.0 and online marketers.

I ramble on about attention data and widgets.

Thanks for the inclusion, Eric!

Sweet mother of wow…

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced two sets of residency gigs: nine shows at the Orange Peel in Asheville, N.C., (June 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 30 and July 2, 3, and 5) plus eight shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco (July 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 30 and 31 and August 1).

The band will vary set lists from night to night, performing songs from the upcoming album Zeitgeist, Pumpkins classics, plus unreleased material and tunes written the day of the show.

The concerts are designed to give fans a glimpse into the Pumpkins’ creative process.

Tickets go on sale this Sunday (May 20). If anyone wants to come up for a show ($20), you’re more than welcome to crash at the casa de harrelson here in Asheville!

I read way too many feeds in a given day.  I need to narrow it down, but it’s a tough chore because I have so many varied interests.

Letting them pile up over the weekend resulted in over 2k new entries that I had to plow through rather quickly without much concentration.

Hmm… I need to outsource my feed reading…

The book on Assyriology and 19th Century American reception I wrote while at Yale has been up on Amazon.com for a while (you can also order it from the Yale Art Gallery site).

However, I was checking up on how it was doing at Amazon and there’s a re-seller who’s listing it for close to $30.  Wow!

If you need a copy, I’ve got a couple left and I’ll gladly send your way.  I would make it an eBook and post it here, but Yale Art Gallery owns the right and it probably would not be kosher to post it up without violating all sorts of copyrights.

I’ll know better next time I publish and make sure to have the ability to post it up here.

Dad, my best friend and uber-lawyer Jon Williams and I went to the Darlington Raceway this weekend for the Busch Race and NASCAR Nextel Cup races.

Sadly, the Nextel Cup race was called last night around 8:30 and rescheduled for this afternoon.  So, I had to head back to Asheville today and missed the race.  However, we had a great time at the Busch race on Friday night. We cooked out before the race and hung around my campsite for a while afterwards.  I camped out at the track on Friday night and was literally carried away by fire ants.  I’m itchy now.

Here are some shots of the Busch race from Jon’s Flickr stream…

The Nextel Cup race went well today for my driver, Ryan Newman.  He finished 4th, so I was pretty excited and hated missing the race.

It’s sad that Darlington only has one race a year since the races there are always so much better than the cookie-cutter tracks that predominate the circuit these days.

Thanks, Jon and Dad!

Happy Mother’s Day to Mom, Donnie and Anna.

Schaefer, Macy, Sylvia, Baby and I love all of you.

It’s interesting that since I’ve hooked my mom up to GMail, we’re in a lot more communication these days via the GTalk instant messaging client within GMail.  I keep GTalk running under my Jabber account within Pidgin, so it’s kinda like an always on mom. 

Thanks, interwebs.
