In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

November 18, 2008 Maggie and Bocce, Working Like Dogs at My Office
Maggie and Bocce working like dawgs in the Yoostar officeBoth Bocce and Maggie are here at the office with me today. Suddenly with a clatter, a guy appeared outside bravely cleaning our high-rise windows. The sight of someone on a platform dangling from ropes right outside the 7th story floor-to-ceiling window directly over Sunset Blvd drove the dogs absolutely ballistic. It defied their dog logic entirely. I'm just thankful that their barking and lunging at the glass didn't cause this guy to lose his balance. These guys must have nerves of steel! I know I couldn't do it.

I was on an hour-long conference call with the team in NYC, and had to keep trying to press mute so everyone wouldn't think I was working from inside an animal shelter
