More on my Dad

Things are odd in the world of my dad. Someone who I am starting to think of as Dad 2.0. Let’s look at the evidence:

• First he uses OpenOffice.org and Firefox on Windows.
• Then he starts using Ubuntu.
• Then he gets into Skype and is calling me for free from the US while on holiday with my ma.

…now…he has a blog. Yep, go and read Speaker’s Corner. Nerds among you can subscribe to his RSS feed. He is currently studying to become a journalist and already writing some incredible pieces for local and international press houses and has developed a real finesse for writing with a smooth and flowing, yet deft writing style.

What next? Can I expect him to wear thick glasses, have a nervous twitch and pick a fight with me about Transformers?

My dad has joined the Internet generation, fuelled by Open Source, and I am proud of him.

Metal Singer Required

My band, Seraphidian, are looking for a singer. We have recently had a shift around in roles, and we are looking for a good, reliable, guttural singer. Ideally we are looking for someone with a similar growl to George ‘Corpsegrinder’ Fisher from Cannibal Corpse – deep and rhythmic, but clear and distinguishable. You will need the following:

• Preferably be based in the West Midlands, England (we are based in Wolverhampton) or able to travel there regularly.
• Be available for regular rehearsals and gigging.
• Be reliable and committed.
• Good sense of humor – we are all a bit nuts.
• Have a good ear for rhythm, tonality and diversity.

We are looking to get a singer in the saddle ASAP and be back out touring soon, with the aim of recording our second album early next year.
