Welcome to Wires and Waves, a blog that will contain new entries daily (on weekdays) about nothing in particular and for no one in particular. It exists to satisfy I goal I have had to start a blog and see if I can keep it updated for a full year. We will see how that went in November 2009. it also exists to satisfy a compulsion I have to write about music (and film, art, literature, etc.) Writing on paper is SO 20th century, and I have too thin of a skin to participate in any online community or forum, so I plan to write here and be satisfied with the fact that no one will read what I write. I think I prefer it that way, actually.
Today's song (every entry will have at least one song) is the blog's theme, a song from Rilo Kiley's 2001 album, Takeoffs and Landings. It's a good song - not a favorite, necessarily, but I copped out of having to pick a favorite (which would have been agonizing) and elected to use a title and theme song based on a domain name that my wife purchased several years ago. So enjoy the song, my invisible audience of zero, and relish the possibility of an entry similar to this one five days out of seven for at least the next fiscal year.
Here we go...

Do you have a personal site? I've gotten to the point where I am wondering who's thoughts I am reading every day.
Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. To answer it: this site is it, really. I may end up talking about myself a little more as I keep writing (my plan is to post 5 times a week for a full year and then gauge how worthwhile an exercise it's been), but I am naturally reticent about sharing a lot about myself. I'll probably at least put up a contact email at some point.
Took me ages to get around to looking at this again to see if you'd answered. My mom sent me a link to this site saying that some guy who was on Jeopardy (her favorite quiz show) recommended you. I've enjoyed it so far, so you have at least one fan.
