I’m working on a new tech-related project: Tagalus (http://tagal.us)

It doesn’t have anything to do with music, but for those of you interested in blogging, Twitter, Flickr, or any other service that lets you ‘tag’ something, Tagalus might be of interest to you.  Basically, the service lets users create and vote on definitions for a tag.  Then, users wondering what a tag means can go to Tagalus (or ask @tagalus on Twitter) what the definition of the tag is.

For example, there’s a substantial snow storm going on in Portland right now, and lots of Twitterers are tagging their tweets with #pdxtst.  You can see the Tagalus page for pdxtst and see what the term means as well as find Flickr pictures, links to blog posts, YouTube videos and more that use that tag.

It looks as if I’ll be playing Tuesdays with the Mel Brown Septet at Jimmy Mak’s well into January. Keep an eye on the calendar for specific dates.

Looks like I got behind and updating the site again – I’ve added a couple of dates to the calendar, but December is primarily private parties and events.

Remember to always check JazzPDX.org to find out where I’m playing as well as what else is going on in the Portland jazz scene.
