WHERE WAS THIS PHOTO TAKEN?

You see that photo of me, to the lower left? Where I’m pretending to smile?

I’m very non-photogenic, and it’s the only photo taken of me during the past 10 years in which I don’t look completely terrible.

Hint: It wasn’t taken in the U.S. And it was somewhere you really would never expect to see me.

The first person to correctly identify the setting will win…Uh, five bucks.

And I might award a prize to the person with the most creative (albeit incorrect) guess.

So go nuts….

HOW TO WRITE A HIT LOVE BALLAD

Thanks to Paul and Storm for giving me permission to share this with you.

My favorite moment is at 3:31, on the word “modulation.”

A RADIO DJ WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA

I don’t know this guy.

Don’t know if I’d like his on-air work.

But he seems instinctively to know how to use social media. (Check out his number of Twitter followers.)
