It’s Curtains for You, Bub.

The new crookedsixpence.com is finally up. Yes, there are lots of things not here anymore. This is because, well… I don’t really like much of my old stuff. My newer stuff is already on probation as it is. One toe over the line and it’s off to the rubbish bin for {insert file of choice}!

So, it’s tumbleweed territory around here. I’ll fill in the gaps when I get around to it.

This version of crookedsixpence is done up in a blog format because it’s a more personal site, and the word from Milan is that personal is all the rage this season.

sixcast_small.jpgAlso hot on the runway (OF YOUR MOM’S BASEMENT) are podcasts, and I’ve got one of those now, too. It’s called 6cast (get it? Haha?), and every week on 6cast, I’ll tell you a story. They aren’t very nice stories. I might as well be upfront about that. No casserole recipes from me, no ma’am. And maybe sometimes I’ll have a guest or something. Anyway, you can go ahead and subscribe here (you need a feed reader or podcast player of some kind). As of this post, there are already two episodes waiting to frolic through your iTunes directory, though you already probably know one of them. You can also just listen to them right here, but that isn’t very 21st century now, is it? What would Orwell say? You should be ashamed of yourself! (That’s what he’d say.)

Don’t forget to take a peek at those little squares on the right (if you’re on the front page, that is). I’ve added one called “Best Thing Ever,” which will contain whatever I think is best at the time. It will change now and then, but I don’t know how often. You can click it, and it will take you to links about whatever’s in there, but I avoid linking to Amazon when I can. Not that there’s anything wrong with Amazon. I’d just rather send you to something more informative. Oh, and comics will rot your brain. Don’t sit so close to the TV.

Well, go on then. Observe the newness. And if there’s something I’ve forgotten that you reallyreally think I should bring back or add, there’s a comments box below.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a cup of coffee that requires making.

    I’m having a problem subscribing to 6cast. :(

    I’ve also tried searching on iTunes itself using all the keywords listed in the raw feed, but to no avail! You’re very well hidden, it seems. ;)

    Or, I’m missing something and should really get to bed instead of trying to operate something technologic.

    Yeah, I don’t know what to tell you there. The podcast is probably too new to show up on iTunes search results just yet, but if the iTunes link is telling you that it can’t find iTunes, that’s normal. Just click one of the buttons on that screen to open the program, and it’ll find it. For the other link, you’ll need a feed reader or some kind of podcast player.
