I've finally started to post some photos from this past summer in Seattle. Fear the cute fuzzy marmot. http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=236 I keep meaning to resurrect Fanatic Heart, once I fix the (currently fairly crap) design. Never got around to it. So hell with it. I'm back to updating it. http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=234 Thanks to bethany at ATLectro and Earplug, I am supplied with a lovely near-constant rotation of techno / electro / dub / house at work. Freely downloadable mixes are lovely thing, and they will almost certainly increase your popularity on iTunes. http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=233 Matt looking fierce Originally uploaded by mattmckeon. My housemates' Memorial Day BBQ was a rousing success. Four grills, about sixty-odd people, and an ark or two of edible animals made it meateriffic. Four kinds of wings, three kinds of hamburgers, untold varieties ... http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=232 Sunset over the water Originally uploaded by mattmckeon. I'm falling in love with Seattle.

If you received a "Save the Date" card, you should be getting an email from us soon. To my friends who aren't invited: my sincere apologies.

I also decided to move my site off of the server in my apartment, and onto Dreamhost (thanks for the tip, Joe). I've also shifted to Wordpress, and I'm loving it. The current look for Fanatic Heart is temporary -- ... http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=228 More piling on Ruzicka by worthless fascist trash. Justin Alexander, another activist for Iraqi civilians who "walks the walk", has some personal memories to share. Unlike Justin, I can't say I sympathize much with Ms. Ruzicka's politics or choice of heroes. However, the fact remains that she did more for our efforts ... http://www.mattmckeon.com/fh/?p=227 An American Aid Worker Is Killed in Her Line of Duty These are always the worst ones.
