Another week in the life of Hoxie. ‘Tis the season to be busy, and I never got around to posting last weekend, but there were a couple of quick things I wanted to mention:

First, my website has officially moved into Spot #1 on Google, so if you’re feeling lucky with “Hoxie Ackerman,” you get me! All it took was one link from another website to this one… Page Rank + unique name = awesome. In my second Bing search ever, it turns out that my Facebook page is still beating out my website in Microsoft Land, but I’m much more concerned with my Google standings.

Second, last weekend I had the pleasure of heading down to Quincy Market to meet up with fellow ex-Pine Crestian Caryn and The Touchtones, an all-female a cappella group coming to you straight from Cornell University. Despite the cold weather and the security guards who forced them to move after their first couple of songs (was it the out-of-control pyrotechnics and crowd surfing or the lack of a performance permit?), they persevered and sang some very cool stuff. Rock on! (I managed to snap two pictures on my cell phone before stuffing my hand back into my glove and pocket, check them out!)

And finally, although we still have a couple more weeks to go before it’s officially winter, it certainly feels/looks a lot like winter’s already here. We had some snowfall last weekend, and I’ve ridden my bike through single-digit temperatures to get to work at a couple of times. (Random phone pic I took of the Commons while riding by last weekend.) Brr!
