I shouldn’t have left you without a recent blog post to step to…but here’s why!

I’ve started a tumblr!  You can find me at justinpoet.tumblr.com  I like tumblr because it allows me to keep tabs on some of my favorite poets and performers.   It’s also quickly become my homebase for getting nascent ideas out into the world.  So far, I’ve used my tumblr to post haiku, rough drafts and short poems.  Justinpoet.com will still be here to display polished material, but if you’re looking for more frequent posts, now you know where to go.

Oh, and make sure you check out my friends’ tumblrs:

My friend Robert Warren popped into the Pop Up Volume 2 and brought his camera.  Check out these great shots he snapped, and be sure to head to his photo blog (aphorist.tumblr.com) for beautiful photos taken all around New Orleans.

Winning Powerball Tickets Sold in Arizona and Missouri, Giving NY Times Chance to Reference Alan Alda

“The odds of picking the winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were longer than the odds of picking an American man completely at random and having him happen to be Alan Alda.”

 –NY Times

This supposedly illuminating statistic provides more questions than answers:

Wouldn’t the odds of seeing Alan Alada be the same as seeing any individual?  Or is he out and about at a different frequency?  

What types of places does he frequent?  If Alan Alda buys a lot of tacos, will I have a better chance at winning the lottery because I love tacos?

Is our ability to locate him impacted by whether or not he is wearing his Waldo glasses? 

Where can I find other Alan Alda stats?
