GothCruise 9 From Outer Space - Sailing out of Port Canaveral, FL on Royal Caribbean's Monarch of the Seas, August 6 - 10, 2012 Taking reservations now! Go to http://gothcruise.com/ for more information!

If you missed my return to the airwaves Saturday Night, despair not! You can listen to it on WFDU's archive located here: http://wfdu.streamrewind.com/bookmarks/listen/52628

I am going to be live in the studio on 89.1 WFDU this Saturday at 9 pm on Ghosty's Show and from 10 to 11 a very special The Shape of Things to Come returns to the airwaves. I will be featuring a long lost interview with Trent Reznor from October 1989, just after "Down In It" was released. Listen on the web at http://www.wfdu.fm

This is my memorial. I wasn't a hero, I wasn't hurt, but I was there and this is what I saw and felt.

I was running late for work that day. The weather was beautiful. The skies were a clear deep blue, virtually cloudless. The air was warm with a hint of impending autumn. It was an almost perfect day. My normal commute usually got me to the World Trade Center at around 8:45 but I missed the 8:00 train to Hoboken. Almost missed the 8:20. I ran for the train, got in, sat down and started reading a book, oblivious to the world around me. 

Around 8:50 as we arrived in Hoboken, there was a stir on the train. Something about a fire in the World Trade Center. I was paying more attention to my book, so I did not see it. I put down my book and tried to see if I could see anything, but the towers had already disappeared behind the train station building. As I left the train, an announcement came over the PA in the station: The PATH trains into the World Trade Center were not running. There were no other details. 

( Damn, I thought. Now I'm really going to be late. )

I wrote this, so I would remember what happened that day, without the hype, the drama and the politics.

• 15:35 Checked my apps and none are in danger so, despite the warnings, I am taking the plunge and loading OSX Lion. See you on the other side. #
