Unfortunately, the mandolin didn’t meet the reserve on eBay, and didn’t sell. Much to my surprise, there were no bids in the last 12 hours of the auction. Maybe I’ve got a disordered view of the way eBay works. Despite this setback, I’ve got two more auctions going on right now to see if eBay …

Uncle Widget (the real deal)
I’ve got big plans for Uncle Widget. What started as a way to replace the horribly pedestrian music that continuously played in my daughters’ rooms has become a core component in my vocational adventure. The first CD, Bedtime on Mars is meant to foster peace and creativity in your sleeping child. It gets them accustomed …
eBay of the Week (100th post to SAW)
Check out this Washburn M3SW Mandolin on eBay. And stay tuned for another personal status update from me! And a big round of applause for making it to the big 100th post. Almost 18 months after I started… I’m (mostly) still here. Also, please check out Zack Scott Reports. Zack paid large sums of money …

I’m Giving Lulu a Try
You’ve all heard of Lulu Self Publishing by now. For a while, I’ve managed to overlook Lulu’s eBooks. Here’s how that is relevant: I’m working on a big liturgical music planning resource. There aren’t many good free ones around (certainly none that will allow community editing like mine) and it’ll be a good way to …

Yesterday, I got a status update from CDBaby that my Uncle Widget CD, “Bedtime on Mars” has been added to the store. Until now, I’ve only been able to sell to people I meet on the street. Go buy one! This is also one step closer to Uncle Widget on the iTunes Music Store. Related …
ONEredpaperclip. ONE.
So since Kyle from one red paperclip was sent to me by several different sources and made ABC’s Good Morning America this morning, I figured I’d make a few observations. Part of why this interests me is that one of my “sidejobs” happens to be real estate investing. Kyle’s ultimate goal is to “trade-up” from …
bingbit
The “coming soon” banner has been placed at bingbit.com and I’m working on getting the catalog digitized and forming a plan for the e-commerce side of things. bingbit’s first official offering will actually be available from CDBaby in a week or so. Bedtime on Mars by Uncle Widget has been out for a few months …
Web Work and Hypnosis
I’ve been doing some web freelancing lately. Most recently, Jonathan and I designed and developed a site for our friends at Watermark Hypnosis. I’ve actually lost 15 pounds in 5 weeks through their program and would highly recommend them. Let me know what you think of the site design.
The King of Side-Jobs: Bad Dad
…I don’t want to become the bad dad. It seems like I read a lot of “don’t be defined by your job” or “unfortunately, the first question asked upon meeting someone new is ‘so what do you do for a living?’” “But Bryan, the work I do doesn’t really define me.” Well, maybe you’re doing …
