Give Us A Minute
I’m reposting some information about the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund website and their Give Us a Minute podcast. I think of Joe quite a bit still and miss him often. Tee has updated the podcast recently with information about giving blood at Dragon*Con for Joe.
Joe Murphy, podcaster and XM Radio personality, passed away April 1 from the rare cancer leiomyosarcoma.
Joe’s favorite song was Jonathan Coulton‘s “First of May,” so to raise awareness of his disease and raise funds for his family, a group of podcasters lead by Paul Fischer and Phil Rossi have recorded a benefit version of “First of May”:
“First of May (Joe Murphy Mix)“
Written by Jonathan Coulton
Recorded by The P-Cast Allstars

And please, if you can, donate to the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund.
** By the way, if you’ve never heard this song, it is definitely NOT work/child safe. Listen first and then share. If you want the Jonathan Coulton version of the song too, then go to his site.

He’s one of the most generous men I’ve ever met. When our podcasting friend Joe Murphy died, Tee was the front man for the website and podcast, first to raise money for Joe’s family and then to help fight leiomyosarcoma. Tee was a founder and one of the first authors to give away their audio

So I’m reposting this for tomorrow. Joe Murphy, podcaster and XM Radio personality, passed away April 1, 2007 from the rare cancer leiomyosarcoma.

My Joe Murphy Missing Ninja wristband bit the dust tonight! Split right in half when I was scratching my wrist underneath. Crap. I’m going to have to remember to get another one at Mike’s this weekend. If you want one, you can go here and get one or send me the $5 and I’ll mail

Bad dreams

Had a dream last night that a bunch of us were playing poker (which I haven’t played in a bazillion years) including Joe, but just out of the corner of my eye at the other end of the table and he was wearing a tux. Which woke me up. And then I had that Mason

If you take 4 minutes of your life to enjoy this video (thanks to snowcalla) it won’t be wasted. I guaran-damn-tee it. Kira and Grammi at the park yesterday. So today, I’m actually going to take the time to organize the tons of pictures we’ve taken over the last few months and try to update

What I didn’t mention in yesterday’s post was that after Wingin’ It we recorded a memorial show for Joe. I mean, his death was inevitable and Mur was there and waiting until after would have been too painful. Nice memories, show excerpts, and a song or two dedicated to our Joe. Cheyenne Wright did this

Man, am I tired. Woke this morning with the baby. Breakfasted, she and me took a shower, snuggled a while and then I dumped her at Casey’s friend’s house. Stopped by the hospice to see Joe and he was out of it. His Dad says they’ve upped his drugs again so there’s likely no chance
Just a smidgen about Joe

I felt had to wait until this went public before I could say anything but Evo’s post is the coolest thing ever. I’m really glad I get to be associated with these people in even the smallest way. I made this avatar of Joe today from a picture taken at last year’s Draco Vista pool

Christina and I are already planning to go donate blood at D*C. We’ll all have to meet up and raise a glass to the big guy, damn we really miss hearing him.
