Mice Pace

I was just checking in on my band's tour preparations, which are made mostly through myspace messages. It occurs to me that (a) this myspace is a godsend; o, how lucky we are to have it, what with the discovery of good-sounding bands in the needed zip codes; but, (b) someone really needs to adapt the ideas in catherine's post to the lack of a unifying web tool for bands. Myspace is okay. Purevolume was what it was. Someone make it easy for bands to talk to other bands, specifically in other towns. Okay? Go.

UPON re-reading this, I see that I was unclear. What's frustrating is the speed at which information gets exchanged and dispersed among the band members. I think myspace could fix this by having some sort of sub-log-in for bands, meaning I would log in as Stanley-Member-of-Band-X, rather than logging in as Band-X and trying to figure out who's emailed with whom, etc. So maybe a new tool isn't needed, and a myspace update would suffice. Myspace? Go.

Yeah, but managers are so sleazy. And soooo not DIY.

Well, B, if you create a social-networking site for mice, I'll certainly blog about it.

A social networking space for mice = habitrail. It's already been done.

This site? It seems to be about hamsters, but I guess mice can run through those tubes, too. I did learn that the Spanish word from hamster is el hámster, which is pretty great.

They have mini habitrail, for mice now. Though the (few) pieces we have are the standard hamster size. The mice seem okay with that.
