January is a ramp

Things have really picked up this month. I’ve taken a few steps back from mainstream media consumption, instead focusing my time and energy on creating and connecting bits. This month I’ve launched the Generate Kindness Blog, as well as re-enabling an online request form for free stickers, which right now sends me an email when anyone requests stickers (I’ve been having database problems, so I get an email instead of the intended storing in a db).

Anyway, about a hundred a day now. Woo!

I’ve set up digital distribution through e-junkie. It’s an online shopping cart and digital delivery management thing. I’ll be revamping my music store next.

The Missing Song project is rolling ahead. Expecting final, final mix in the mail from Will in LA. I’ve finalized the track listing for the bundle:

_ The Missing Suite _
I. The Missing Song
II. The Ballad of Robert John
III. Unexpected Turns
(bonus preview track: “What Kind of Amazing Grace?” from upcoming July release.)

I’ve got a short list of big production tasks on each of these, and am shooting to have the Missing Suite bundle wrapped by March 4, my birthday. I’ll be in Boston for the Drupal Community Conference. I’m proposing a panel called “Using Drupal to Save the World,” featuring people in the Drupal community who are using the platform for sites like Amnesty International and The Witness Project and The Missing Song.

Business has picked up quite a bit. January was like this big gust of wind that picked up the kite and let it soar after a rather languid holiday season. It’s been lot of fun being a business guy again for a group I really believe in.

That’s it for now. Tons to do.
