¿Qué? ¿Qué?

A] You can find my blog, my music on the guitar and ukulele, my strange little Flash animations, writing, and the kinds of connections I make.

Q] I think you should pick a single creative discipline and focus on that. Do you agree?

A] No.

Q] Why not?

A] There may come a day when I fall completely in love with a single discipline and pursue that-one-and-only-that-one myopically, and to the exclusion of all others. But until I find the One True Art, I'll continue on with all of them. Some warriors are meant to master one discipline; for instance, in Kill Bill 2 when the Bride meets Pei Mei, Pei Mei is a perfect master of eagle claw. The Bride however, rattles off a number of varied proficiencies (and no true expertise). He beats her in combat, but she's the one kicking butt for the rest of the movie. There are many different ways to be a great warrior.

In conclusion, don't try to change me.

Q] Speaking of love ...

A] My brilliant boyfriend Jason Doty is a codemancer, bike blogger, pun fu master, and wonderful human being. Together, we've created Grumpy Dodo apps for the iPhone and iPad. Check out our first game, CRAZY SHAPES!

Jason's also created an awesome tool for bicyclists and sprocket-mancers: Bicycle Gear Head. It's fun and easy to use, and makes pretty charts of calculations for different gear and chain ring combinations. If you are liking biking, check it out!

Q] When is your next show?

A] Check my space page for up-to-date information, or my music page! I live in Brooklyn, New York, but I've played shows in 2010 in San Francisco, New York, and Vermont. Let me know if there's a venue near you that would dig my sound, and we just might be able to make some magic happen there!

Q] Are you available for playing ukulele at weddings and other events?

A] Yes absolutely! Please check out my promotional site for more information.

Q] I was confused by your art. Alternately, I was enthusiastic about it. Should I keep my feedback to myself? Additionally, I have the desire to email you for reasons not listed here, and should I tamp that desire down?

A] No.

Q] Your old webcomics, Up at Dawn Crook Society and Cat & Llama and Why Democracy Doesn't Work: are you updating them on a regular basis, or just when you feel like it, or what?

A] They come when I'm inspired. But they haven't forgotten about you! They love you.

Q] Still lovingly hand-coding this site?

A] Aw baby. If you know enough to ask that, then you know enough to "View Source", which means you know enough to know. I use Notepad, everything is straight HTML. No content management. Nothing from Adobe. Just pure. text. And love. Mm mm!

I'm hoping that my skills at basic-level HTML will be generalizable to more serious programming and compy skills. Like buckling down and learning a scripting language, for instance.

Q] You are funny. You agree with me?

A] I do.

Q] I mean funny-strange, not funny-haha. Well, actually both.

A] Still right there withya, chief!

Q] I'm here on accident—I was looking for the other Erica Dreisbach.

A] The one from Pennsylvania Deutsch country? Yeah, I'm not her. But she got married, I think she might be Erica Thompson now. Much like the Highlander, there can only be one.

Q] I'm someone else and I was actually looking for someone named Erica Ricardo.

A] Yeah, I'm not her either.

Q] Your name is Erica Dreisbach.

A] Yes.

Q] Your name is not Erica Ricardo.

A] Correct.

Q] So...?
