Hubski is a good way to comment on articles because you invite people to discuss things with you. If I share a post, I am basically inviting those who are following me to read and maybe discuss the post with me. The added benefit of Hubski is that you get to know who you will be sharing with via the comments, while at the same time remaining publicly visible. And because of this visibility, new members can join in. I think that this is one of the things that makes this place so amazing.

Oh, the song was great :P

in a kind of pseudonymously way I guess thenewgreen will put the Higgs Boson love song on his next album - right? btw TNG - I found myself humming "bigger than me" from your Elaborate Maps album. --- humming it, yes! Most of the time K'naan sings in my head and I was about to put his new CD on (Country, God, or the Girl), when I listened more closely to the soundtrack of my inner landscape, and heard your song. COOL. anyway, thanks s_s -- did you hear TNG's song when it was first posted, or just now?

Thanks for the compliment on the song speeding_snail and for the #tngpodcast nod. Both appreciated. Lil, I haven't seriously considered putting the Higgs Boson song on the next album but I suppose I should (consider). It's a fun one to play.

It makes me happy to read that Bigger than Me was in your head. I had such a great time recording that song. The very end of it we had a group of friends and family come in the studio, stand around a microphone and sing the "I'm bigger than me" lines and the "oh-oh-oh's". Tons of fun and fellowship.
