The Maiden Blog


I thought I was cool in 1995 because I had my own website at a time when nobody else did.  My domain name had 63 characters in it and my front page looked like an 80's Atari game.  But I was still the man.  By 2006, however, I was prehistoric because I didn't have a blog. Now a days I know some people who have more than five blogs.  And they don't just blog, they blog about EVERYTHING.  And it turns out that blogs (along with sites like Facebook and Twitter) have completely eclipsed old fashioned website methods in the areas of announcing new projects, discussing past events, and sharing thoughts.  It's just so much more interesting to get up close and personal.  And besides, bloggers don't have to harass their techie friends to keep their blogs updated.  So while you may or may not hear me spill about my kids' trips to the bathroom on this blog, you will definitely get more frequent and personal updates regarding the songs I'm writing, the projects I'm working on, and thoughts about past shows.  I know, sounds reeeaallly interesting.   But welcome anyway!
