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 …

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 …
