My name's Mark.  I live in Brooklyn, NY and work in media and music.  Though this blog will probably have little if anything to do with my jobs, and a lot to do with my broader reflections on the state of the world and the various micro-universes that exist therein.  In the not too distant future I'll be vlogging here as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personal stuff:  I like penguins, motorcycles and good wine, in no particular order.  These may be themes that recur in the blog for no particular reason.  I'm a big fan of Frank Zappa, as much for his worldview and approach as for the music he made.  There will doubtless be some in-joke references to FZ here too, as well as the usual arcana that everyone does - lines from bad TV movies, old commercials, weird experiences from second grade etc etc blah blah woof woof.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you enjoy hanging out here at the 'Cow.  Just don't expect the world to make sense, and we should get along fine.</description><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>throbbingcow@yahoo.com (Mark Westin)</author></item></channel></rss>
