A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

Last night, I was drinking at a neighborhood bar (our kitchen) when a song suddenly popped into my head. All I could remember was the chorus, which went something like, "Doooo-doo-doo-dah-dah-dah-eeeat theeese peaaas tonight(!)" As I continued to buy (pour myself) round after round, the song only got stronger and more infuriating. I called everyone I knew who was up to hum what I had of the chorus. If they didn't pick up, I left the music on their message machine and told them to get back to me immediately. I looked eagerly at my most trustworthy friend, my computer, knowing full well that even she couldn't help me now. Finally, I had found something that was un-google-able.
So this morning, I had a series of revelations. First, the song was "Check on It" by Destiny's Child (Sampsonite! I was way off!). Second, I decided that am going to develop a Name That Song Help Line, where people can call in and a robot will process the notes they hum (adjusting for drunkenness). Then, said robot will compare that series of notes to a huge database of music. It will also be able to inform its decision with any information the person can offer ("you know, that hot skinny girl who was big around 1993" or "that hair band who everyone knew was horrible but still kind of liked"). Then, ten minutes later, you'll get a text with the song and artist. Back of the net!
My third revelation was that this service already exists. My dreams of leapfrogging to the upper middle class overnight? Gone, just like that.
