We all love you, man

In light of more frequent well-intentioned mistaken-identity emails, I updated my contact page last week with giant-type messages about who I wasn't. It still doesn't always work.

I just got an email from a person who is putting together a cancer-fundraising basketball tournament, which compelled me to actually write him back about his mistake (as well as sending props for his efforts; I mean, that's a good thing he's doing). It's made more bizarre by the fact that this person apparently read enough of my website to figure out that I was in Boston (while the young Mr. McElwain is in Rochester, NY). Eh.

I should make a new jmac.org front page, anyway. The stuff about my blog not being there anymore hasn't been news in years.

Who's writing this down?

Why didn't I know that there was an embedded This American Life reporter within Dr. Awkward, the team that won this year's mystery hunt?

Link to full show: http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/podcast/326.mp3 The hunt bit starts at 0:31:58. It's a great story (in a great show, as usual) and briefly includes hahathor yelling about Gilligan's Island.

I still owe y'all a catalog of my current podcast playlist, don't I.
