The blog’s theme is a little awkward at the moment for anyone viewing through Firefox 2.  Something went wrong at WordPress.com, which is where FiercePanda.us is hosted, and the great guys at WordPress.com are attempting to fix the problem.  The issue arises with most themes, including mine, not loading correrctly even when the page is refreshed, and as I’m typing this out, it’s also affecting people who compose entries through WordPress.com.  So sit tight and hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.

In unrelated news, the water was turned off at my house today.  Why is it that the housing association picks the absolute worst days to turn the water off?  In a few hours, I have to be in Sacramento with Jim and, of course, I feel grimey because I haven’t been able to take a shower!

It’s been two days since Stream 24 launched and the station is already making a name for itself.  Just this morning, I received an e-mail from Shawn Fahy, a representative for Jonathan Cain (the lead singer of the band Journey).  Apparently, the guy has released a new CD and the first single from that CD is number 7 on the modern adult contemporary charts.  Shawn wanted to know if I would play Jonathan’s single on Stream 24.  It’s such an awesome feeling to have musicians and their representatives approach me and the station!  What an amazing beginning.

I can hear my grandmother listening to a PBS telethon in another room.  When I retire someday, I’d love to be one of those guys you see on PBS, taking pledges from a telephone, just to see what kind of people actually call in and pledge.
