It’s always fun to read about a crazed gunman shooting random people at a place that you go to every weekend to walk your dog.8/23 Update:
Here’s an update with details on the shooter and status of the victims.
Obadiah Parker – Digg effect
The video of Obadiah Parker‘s acoustic cover of Outkast’s Hey Ya was posted on YouTube over two months ago. Yesterday the video was featured on Digg’s front page and the popularity of the video has sky rocketed overnight. The video has been viewed 139,707 times as of today and the band (currently unsigned) was mentioned today on Spin magazine’s blog.
8/22 Update:
Here’s another example of the power of Digg. Someone uploaded a video called Slowest Man on Earth to YouTube. After two months of decent traffic (about 8,000 views), the video’s popularity went through the roof after it was dugg to Digg’s video front page. As a result, the video was featured on Good Morning America.

Toad the Wet Sprocket @ Mountain Winery (Saratoga, CA)
Last night I saw one of my favorite bands from the 90’s – Toad the Wet Sprocket – at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. I’ve seen Glen Phillips a couple of times in the last few years but I had never seen Toad play live until last night. Overall it was a great show. The band sounded great and the venue was perfect.
Here’s some VERY rough audio from the show, recorded with the voice recorder on my digital camera:
