From time to time I get a strange call on my cell phone. It’s a recorded message in Spanish. This morning, I got that call again. The phone number that showed up on my caller ID was 323-927-1550. Just thought I’d pass that along.

Meanwhile, I’m in the midst of using my test domain to completely overhaul joeventures.com. I’m finally moving this site to WordPress. I found a nice three-column template that I was able to decipher enough to modify, and I added a plugin that will let me keep up the “Topics” list on the right-hand sidebar. The difference this time is that I’ll now be using del.icio.us. As soon as I can figure out how to use it, I’ll use Amazon Media Manager to keep my list of books up on the site. Who knows — I might even expand into other media. I’m going to do whatever I can to figure out a way to keep the old RSS feed url, but I still have now idea how to do it.

Thanks to all the comment spam for keeping me motivated on this project. I couldn’t do it without ‘ya.

In other news:

• Last night, we recorded another edition of the Georgia Politics Podcast. Look for the new edition soon.
• In my move to the condo, somewhere I lost the battery recharger for my camera. It’s still got juice in it, but it’s now being used quite sparingly. Until I find the old recharger or get a new one, it’s unlikely you’ll see many new photos up on my Flickr page.
• October 1. Mark it. That’s all I have to say about that.
